[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] Scholarship students supported by the Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation in the fields of future industries and culture and arts are each standing out on the global stage.

According to the Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation on the 27th, among the scholarship students supported by the 'Future Industry Talent Scholarship Program,' 20 students last year and 13 students this year have been recognized for their research achievements, such as publishing papers as first authors in internationally renowned academic journals indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI).

Looking at the main achievements, in the field of intelligent information technology, scholarship student Won Chang-hee, who is enrolled in the doctoral program in Computer and Software Engineering at Hanyang University, published a paper titled "Longitudinal Learning and Uncertainty Prior Probability for Omnidirectional Stereo Matching" in an international academic journal. In addition, in the biohealth field, scholarship student Lee Eun-bi, who is enrolled in the integrated master's and doctoral program in Food and Nutrition at Ewha Womans University, and in the new energy industry field, scholarship student Cho Sung-hyun, who is enrolled in the doctoral program in Environmental Energy Convergence at Sejong University, each published papers in international academic journals.

In the culture and arts field, which was hit by COVID-19, scholarship students of the Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation also stood out. Last year, scholarship student Yoon Do-hee (Sejong University) won first place in the Modern Dance Professional Women's Division at the Hellas International Dance Competition in Greece, and scholarship student Park Hae-rim (Yewon School) won second place in Category A at the Ettlingen International Piano Competition in Germany.

Meanwhile, the Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation is currently working on integrating its existing scholarship programs into the 'Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Scholarship' to nurture talents who can respond to the rapidly changing social and industrial paradigms due to the 4th Industrial Revolution and COVID-19. In addition to scholarship support, differentiated growth support and follow-up support according to the growth cycle of scholarship students will be provided, and through this, the foundation plans to focus its capabilities on nurturing future talents who will be the foundation of national growth.
