[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The challenge for inter-university shared cooperation projects to nurture talent in digital new technologies is gaining momentum.

Shilla University (President Kim Choong-seok) announced on the 9th that it signed a business agreement on the morning of the 8th with five universities participating in the consortium for selection in the Ministry of Education’s ‘Digital New Technology Talent Nurturing Innovation Shared University’ project.

This Innovation Shared University project is a new task reflected after the government’s announcement of the ‘Korean New Deal Comprehensive Plan’ in July last year.

The Ministry of Education plans to establish a cooperative system among universities based on sharing, openness, and cooperation to nurture core talents at the national level and aims to train 100,000 talents in new technology fields by 2026.

The agreement was conducted via the online video conferencing platform ‘Zoom’. Six universities participated: Shilla University, Seokyeong University, Seoul Women’s University, Semyung University, Anyang University, and Jeju Halla University.

These universities will form a consortium in the field of immersive media for the Ministry of Education’s ‘Digital New Technology Talent Nurturing Innovation Shared University Project’ and work together to secure project selection.

On this day, the participating universities agreed to jointly promote the project by expanding students’ course selection rights in new technology fields through academic system reforms, jointly operating curricula through mutual opening of academic systems among partner institutions, securing faculty members, involving professors in developing curricula in new technology fields, and mutually sharing human and material resources related to education in new technology fields.

Going forward, the six universities will form consultative bodies such as a working-level council at the academic affairs committee level and a practical promotion team to cooperate closely.
