Glocal University 30 is a Ministry of Education project that selects and intensively supports 30 universities by 2026, which break down internal and external university barriers and lead co-growth between universities and local industries based on partnerships with local and industrial sectors.

On the 29th at 10:30 a.m., Ulsan City announced that it will hold a joint business agreement and declaration ceremony for the official designation of Ulsan University as a Glocal University 30 at the Citizens' Hall on the first floor of the City Council.

The event is expected to be attended by about 30 people, including Ulsan Mayor Kim Doo-gyeom, Ulsan City Council Chairman Kim Ki-hwan, Ulsan University President Oh Yeon-cheon, and representatives from 24 institutions and city council members.

This declaration ceremony is the first to be held among the 15 preliminary designated institutions nationwide.

According to the business agreement signed that day, the joint promotion institutions?Ulsan City, Ulsan University, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), and HD Hyundai?agreed to establish an inter-institutional exchange system and cooperate with each other.

The main contents of the agreement include ▲ project linkage and cooperation for promoting Glocal University 30 ▲ establishment and operation of graduate schools for future new industries ▲ operation of innovative personnel systems such as human resource exchanges between institutions ▲ and fund creation for fostering local industries.

Following the business agreement, 24 joint cooperation institutions including Ulsan City, joint promotion institutions, local universities, Seoul Asan Medical Center, Ulsan University Hospital, Ulsan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, relocated public institutions, and innovation support institutions will declare joint cooperation for the official designation of the Glocal University.
