The ‘Industry-Academia Convergence Semiconductor Robot Campus’ is an industrial complex campus integrating an industrial complex and a university, created jointly by Daegu Catholic University and the Gyeongsan Industry-Academia Convergence Center in Gyeongbuk. The project involves a total budget of approximately 30.1 billion KRW, including national funds, Gyeongbuk Province, and Gyeongsan City support.

Located in Hayang-eup, Gyeongsan City, Gyeongbuk, within the Gyeongsan Knowledge Industry District, the campus will include a campus building, corporate research building, and culture and welfare building with a total floor area of 8,228㎡.

The campus building will consist of 42 rooms including lecture rooms, experimental practice rooms, professor research offices, student council rooms, seminar rooms, and computer practice rooms. The corporate research building will have 51 rooms including corporate research rooms, corporate support rooms, meeting rooms, business labs, industry-academia convergence R&D rooms, and equipment support centers. The culture and welfare building will include 7 rooms such as a fitness room, meeting rooms, and a cafeteria. The completion is scheduled for September 2023.

Daegu Catholic University plans to relocate the Departments of Electrical Engineering, Semiconductor Electronic Engineering, and AI Automation Robotics to the ‘Industry-Academia Convergence Semiconductor Robot Campus’ upon its completion, and actively promote the training of specialized personnel in the semiconductor and robotics industries for the Fourth Industrial Revolution era.

Kim Bong-hwan, Director of the Gyeongbuk Gyeongsan Industry-Academia Convergence Center, stated, “We will do our best to create an industry-academia convergence, customized hub space for companies and youth, making it a campus where universities and companies research together and prepare for the future, serving as a foundation to nurture excellent young talent and support corporate growth.”
