Dong-Eui University was recently selected for the '2nd Cycle University Lifelong Education System Support Project (LiFE2.0)' organized by the Ministry of Education and the National Institute for Lifelong Education.

With the selection for the LiFE2.0 project, Dong-Eui University will receive a total of 2 billion KRW in national funding over two years, 1 billion KRW annually starting this year, and will establish the College of Future Convergence as a new college to expand and support higher lifelong education opportunities for adult learners.

Based on an analysis of regional industrial conditions and demand, the university has designated real estate asset management, entrepreneurship, beauty, and well-being life as the four specialized lifelong education fields. It plans to support the physical, intellectual, and cultural growth of adult learners through life-learning centered open lifelong education and work-learning centered residential lifelong education programs.
