Chosun University Selected for Ministry of Education's 'Digital New Technology Talent Cultivation Innovative Shared University' Project

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Chosun University announced on the 4th that it has been selected for the ‘Digital New Technology Talent Nurturing Innovation Shared University’ project (hereinafter referred to as Digital Innovation Shared University) promoted by the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea.

The Ministry of Education previously conducted a selection evaluation targeting 41 university consortia that met the requirements, and selected one consortium per field in eight new industry sectors as support targets.

The ‘Digital Innovation Shared University’ project plans to support 81.6 billion KRW as a new task of the ‘Korean New Deal’ to nurture 100,000 core talents in new technology fields at the national level over the next six years (2021?2026) through the establishment of a shared university system among universities.

This project jointly develops standardized, high-quality curricula for each new technology field to nurture excellent talents in new technology fields, and participating university students can freely take desired new technology field courses by level and field regardless of their major or affiliation.

Furthermore, there are plans to expand the outcomes by making them available to the general public in the future.

The consortium in the ‘Intelligent Robot’ field, in which Chosun University participates, is led by Hanyang University (ERICA) as the host university, with participation from Kwangwoon University, Pukyong National University, Sangmyung University, Korea Polytechnic University, and Yeungjin College.

Along with manufacturing robots and humanoids (Hanyang University, Kwangwoon University, Korea Polytechnic University), rehabilitation healthcare (Sangmyung University), robot convergence components (Pukyong National University), and mechatronics (Yeungjin College), Chosun University’s specialized fields such as logistics mobility will be linked to conduct convergent and complex intelligent robot research and education.

A representative from Chosun University said, “We will closely connect with universities participating in the same field to expand the scope of research and education, and unite capabilities with industries, research institutes, and private organizations to continuously nurture talents needed for the nation’s strategic industries.”
