Daegu City-Local Universities Win-Win Cooperation Proclamation Ceremony.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] On the 11th at 2 p.m., Daegu City and 17 local universities in the Daegu area (Daegu and Gyeongsan) held a win-win cooperation proclamation ceremony at the Daegu City Hall Annex Auditorium to jointly respond to local extinction and the crisis of regional universities.

This proclamation ceremony was an occasion for Daegu City and the universities to join forces to establish a win-win cooperation system, actively respond to upcoming future changes such as the post-COVID era and the 4th Industrial Revolution, and reaffirm their determination to overcome local extinction and the crisis of regional universities.

The event proceeded with a report on the progress of the proclamation ceremony, a presentation titled "Win-win Development of Daegu and Gyeongbuk Local Communities and Universities" by the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Research Institute (Researcher Seongjo Ahn), followed by the reading and signing of the win-win cooperation declaration between Daegu City and local universities.

The win-win cooperation declaration includes ▲ formalization of the Local University and Regional Balanced Talent Development Support Council (abbreviated as Local University Development Support Council) ▲ continuous holding of policy forums on regional university development and reflecting discussed agendas in policies ▲ expansion of liberal arts courses on Daegu-Gyeongbuk regional studies ▲ participation in university cooperation projects and cooperation for the successful operation of the (tentative name) Daegu Global Plaza, the nation's first university student support center ▲ strengthening sharing among universities and cooperation with civil society and local industries to drive regional development.

Daegu Mayor Kwon Young-jin said, “To overcome local extinction and the crisis of regional universities, the local community and universities must unite their strengths before it is too late to establish a virtuous cycle system connecting ‘talent development → employment and entrepreneurship → regional settlement.’ Through this proclamation ceremony, we recognize universities and the local community as important win-win partners growing together, and we will strengthen an organic cooperation system with regional universities to build a ‘Daegu-type university cooperation model.’”
