Gyeongsang National University to Conduct Three Projects for 'Advanced Field Innovation Convergence University'

Newly Selected Fields: Aviation·Drone, Semiconductor Materials and Components

Gyeongsang National University has partnered with universities in the Seoul metropolitan area, local governments, and vocational colleges to foster innovative convergence talents in advanced fields.

Gyeongsang National University was selected as the lead university in the ‘Aviation and Drone’ field and as a participating university in the ‘Semiconductor Materials, Parts, and Equipment (SoBuJang)’ field in the ‘Advanced Field Innovative Convergence University Project’ announced by the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea on the 5th.

The Ministry of Education selected ‘local government participation-type’ consortiums on the condition that ‘metropolitan local governments’ with industrial bases in five advanced fields?▲Aviation and Drone ▲Semiconductor SoBuJang (Materials, Parts, and Equipment) ▲Secondary Batteries ▲Next-Generation Communications ▲Eco-Industry?participate.

In the Aviation and Drone field, for which Gyeongsang National University is the lead university, the ‘Gyeongsang National University CArDIo (Aviation Drone Innovative Convergence University Project Group)’ is in charge. Participating universities include Seoul National University, Konkuk University, Jeonbuk National University, and Jeonnam Provincial College. The participating local government is Gyeongsangnam-do.

The overall lead departments of this project group are the Department of Aerospace and Software Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Materials Convergence Engineering at Gyeongsang National University, with participation from the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, Control Robotics Engineering, Future Automotive Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, and Smart Energy Mechanical Engineering.

In the Semiconductor SoBuJang field, where Gyeongsang National University is a participating university, Sungkyunkwan University serves as the lead university, with participation from Gyeongsang National University (Gyeongnam), Dankook University (Seoul metropolitan area), Jeonbuk National University (Jeonbuk), and Yeungjin College (Gyeongbuk). The metropolitan local government involved is Jeollabuk-do. Gyeongsang National University’s project is led by the Department of Electrical Engineering, with participation from the Departments of Electronic Engineering, Semiconductor Engineering, Convergence Electronic Engineering, and Physics.

With three project groups finally selected for the Advanced Field Innovative Convergence University Project, Gyeongsang National University is taking the lead in nurturing national-level talents in advanced fields through convergence, openness, and cooperation among universities.

President Kwon Soon-gi stated, “As a national flagship university in Gyeongnam representing the Republic of Korea, Gyeongsang National University cultivates core talents who lead the region’s economy, industry, history, and culture. Based on our successful experience in operating regional innovation platform projects based on local government-university cooperation in higher education, we will also do our best to nurture advanced talents.”
