The Content One Campus project is a program that supports the cultivation of creative talents in the content field through industry-academia-research-government collaboration projects, providing education and practical project experience centered on future content industries. This project is supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency.

Seoul Women’s University plans to focus on ‘training talents in XR content based on spatial platforms’ through an ‘experiential XR e-sports project’ targeting students from key content talent cultivation departments, including the Department of Metaverse Convergence Content in the Global ICT Humanities Convergence Division, the Department of Digital Media, and the Department of Advanced Media Design.

This project will receive approximately 240 million KRW in funding and will run for 10 months, offering not only regular curricula but also extracurricular courses taught by instructors specialized in XR content production. After conducting on-site training and practical projects with Newjak Co., Ltd., a participating institution with excellent capabilities in the XR field, the projects will be exhibited domestically and internationally.

Go Hye-young, professor of the Department of Metaverse Convergence Content at Seoul Women’s University and project leader, stated, “Education related to convergence content in the XR content field, which is rapidly increasing in demand at exhibition halls and experience centers, and the e-sports field, which is attracting attention for its high market potential, is expected to greatly contribute to the employment and entrepreneurship competitiveness of participating students.” She added, “In particular, students with commercialized portfolios will have a leading competitive edge as new employees with practical experience.”
