Chosun University Gathers Regional and Member Capabilities for Glocal 30 Universities

Chosun University is carrying out various activities to be designated for the Glocal University 30 project by operating subcommittees by field within the university and holding meetings with invited experts, gathering the capabilities of university members and the local community.

On the 28th, according to Chosun University, the university, which launched the Glocal 30 Promotion Headquarters led by President Kim Chun-sung as the head, has started the race to be designated as a 2024 Glocal University and has proposed various measures to consolidate the capabilities of university members and encourage local participation.

Chosun University, preparing for the Glocal University 30 project, aims to nurture regional innovative talents who will contribute to the sustainable development of Gwangju by linking the 9th representative industries of Gwangju Metropolitan City's 8th elected administration with Chosun University's mid- to long-term development plan, and to lead regional development.

To this end, the Glocal 30 Promotion Headquarters has selected specialized fields that reflect Chosun University's unique strengths and formed subcommittees consisting of departments, colleges, and experts from each field to brainstorm and discuss promotion strategies.

In addition, advisory and policy meetings are being held with the Glocal Advisory Group, composed of key external figures, heads of related organizations, and representatives of local industries.

At the three meetings previously held by the Pan-Chosun University Glocal Promotion Team, diverse and in-depth opinions were expressed on university innovation, global system establishment, breaking down barriers inside and outside the university, and urban campuses linked with local governments.

President Kim Chun-sung said, "As a regional public university, we will succeed in building an 'urban campus' to solve pressing social issues such as low birthrate, aging population, population decline, and low growth," adding, "We will pursue a co-growth strategy with the region through campus expansion that fits the characteristics and development direction of the area."
