Dankook University was selected as the top university in the first-year evaluation of the 'Science and Technology Commercialization Project' led by the Ministry of Science and ICT.

This project was introduced to ensure that advanced technologies are supplied appropriately in the market without being wasted, thereby enhancing corporate competitiveness while promoting the dissemination of research outcomes.

The Dankook University Science and Technology Commercialization Project Group established the Department of Science and Technology Policy Convergence in the Graduate School and selected 50 new students to lead the commercialization of technologies in digital healthcare and AI-based advanced machinery fields. They will receive 6.8 billion KRW in national funding by 2027 to train 40 to 50 master's and doctoral students annually.

Along with training specialized personnel, the project group is also building a related ecosystem by publishing science and technology commercialization policy reports, establishing the Korean Society for Science and Technology Commercialization, publishing the journal 'Science and Technology Convergence Research,' establishing cooperative systems with related organizations such as the Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency, and hosting STAR Academy conferences and seminars.

Im Seong-han, head of the Dankook University Science and Technology Commercialization Project Group, stated, "In the first year of operation, we achieved 100% of the performance standards set by the government," and expressed his ambition, saying, "We will continue to strengthen advanced theory and practical education systems to revitalize the regional industry and share achievements in the science and technology field."
