Professor Oh Pil-geon of Pukyong National University will conduct a course to nurture convergence talents in the secondary battery field, which is gaining attention as a next-generation industry, following the selection for this project.

Through this course, the plan is to produce field-oriented talents with comprehensive capabilities in applied fields such as nanomaterials, electricity, electronics, optics, life sciences, and chemistry, thereby supporting the development of advanced regional industries.

Professor Ham Hye-hyun will conduct a course based on criminal psychology to explore the actual conditions, causes, motives, and countermeasures of ‘random crimes,’ which have recently emerged as a social issue.

The plan is to operate a joint research project involving the police, prosecution, citizens, and students to find causes from the individual and community base, including investigation research, special lectures, seminars, and campaigns.
