The '2022 Industry-Academia Cooperation EXPO' was hosted by the Ministry of Education and organized by the National Research Foundation of Korea, held from the 2nd to the 4th at the Suwon Convention Center in Gyeonggi. This year's 'Industry-Academia Cooperation EXPO' involved a total of 286 related entities including institutions, project groups, and students. It consisted of various events such as online and offline exhibition halls, participatory programs, and presentations.

The Best Achievement Award that the LINC3.0 Project Group won on the 4th is an award given to the most outstanding university by evaluating the industry-academia cooperation achievement exhibition halls (booths) of each university participating in the 'Industry-Academia Cooperation EXPO.' The LINC3.0 Project Group operated industry-academia cooperation achievement exhibition halls themed on 'Family Company Products Home Shopping,' 'Autonomous Vehicles,' and 'Smart Farm Cultivated Wild Ginseng.'

The Family Company Products Home Shopping exhibition hall was an industry-academia cooperation program comprehensively planned and supervised by Inhye Lee, Deputy Director of Kyungsung University LINC3.0 Project Group, with participation from 22 universities and family companies nationwide. One product from each university's family company was selected, and a home shopping program was produced to promote and sell these products, which was then revealed on a screen during the event day.

Along with displaying the products broadcasted at the on-site booth, various events such as demonstrations, tastings, and prize giveaways were held, attracting much interest and positive responses from visitors. Additionally, the home shopping video will be released later on YouTube.

In the autonomous vehicle sector, under the guidance of Professor Jangho Bae of the Department of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, industry-academia-research linked education is being operated to cultivate practical talents tailored to future industries. The team has achieved results in various competitions, including winning the grand prize in the electric vehicle self-made project category. The smart farm wild ginseng cultivation sector showcased industry-academia cooperation achievements such as technology transfer based on research and development by Professor Jaeseon Kang of the College of Pharmacy.
