Dong-Eui Science University (President Kim Young-do) and Muhak (Chairman Choi Jae-ho) signed an industry-academia cooperation agreement for mutual exchange and development on the 30th of last month at Dong-Eui Science University’s Seokdang Culture Hall.

Last year, Dong-Eui Science University newly established the Brewing and Fermentation Department within the Future Convergence Department. Through exchange and cooperation, the two institutions plan to cultivate professionals who will lead the rapidly growing craft beer industry annually and contribute to regional industrial development and job creation.

The main contents of the agreement include ▲ field training and educational support for the Brewing and Fermentation Department curriculum ▲ employment support for outstanding graduates ▲ joint development and implementation of major curricula ▲ mutual use of facilities and equipment owned by both institutions ▲ and cooperation on other industry-academia collaboration matters.

Previously, Dong-Eui Science University has continuously signed industry-academia cooperation agreements with local industries regarding scholarship support programs and the development of field-oriented job training curricula.

With this collaboration with a leading domestic liquor company, it is expected that the quality and completeness of university education will be elevated to a higher level.

President Kim Young-do said, “We are pleased to establish industry-academia cooperation with Muhak, which has grown into a nationally representative liquor company beyond the region with nearly a 100-year history and tradition,” adding, “The two institutions will communicate extensively and cooperate closely not only in educational development and human resource training but also in activities for the development of the liquor industry.”

Chairman Choi Jae-ho said, “In the face of accelerating regional crises, innovation and growth must be achieved through cooperation between local companies and universities to foster balanced regional development.”

He also said, “The liquor industry is closely related not only to liquor manufacturing but also to the bio and health sectors, and we will create various achievements through this industry-academia cooperation.”
