[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Chonnam National University announced on the 24th that the participating universities of the regional innovation platform it oversees have decided to establish joint curricula to nurture talent needed for regional strategic industries.
The 15 participating universities of the regional innovation platform, including Chonnam National University, jointly signed a business agreement on the 21st to operate the IU-GJ joint curriculum, agreeing to promote credit exchange and contribute to the development of university education.
IU-GJ is an acronym formed from the first letters of each word in Gwangju-Jeonnam Innovation University.
According to the agreement, these universities will open a total of six interdisciplinary majors in the strategic industries of Gwangju and Jeonnam, specifically in the fields of new energy industries and future transportation devices, and jointly develop educational content to be operated from March next year.
Additionally, to support this, a ‘Unified Academic Management System’ will be introduced to enable sharing of human and material resources among the universities.
Along with this, in collaboration with metropolitan and provincial offices of education, they will engage in supporting the high school credit system, building smart campuses, developing career design competency enhancement programs, and also plan to create a local government-public institution linked open campus.
