Gyeongnam Jeongbo University Holds Launch Ceremony for This Year's 'Energy New Industry Supporters'

Gyeongnam Information University (President Kim Tae-sang) recently held the inauguration ceremony for the 2nd Energy New Industry Innovation Convergence University Project Supporters at the Rash Memorial Hall on campus and has begun full-scale activities.

Gyeongnam Information University held the 2024 Energy New Industry Supporters Launch Ceremony.

The university selected 10 students from the Department of Chemical and Energy Engineering, which participates in the project, as the '2nd Energy New Industry Supporters' through document screening and interviews, aiming to promote and disseminate the achievements of the advanced field innovation convergence university project in the energy new industry sector.

The supporters will introduce energy new industries such as hydrogen energy and secondary batteries, and be responsible for promoting and guiding the curricular and extracurricular programs conducted by the project team both online and offline.

They will also support the project team’s event operations to inform middle and high school students, university students, workers, and the general public about the energy new industry sector and its achievements, encouraging participation.

Project Director Heo Kwang-seon said, “This is a great opportunity to promote the energy new industry sector centered on hydrogen energy in the era of carbon neutrality,” adding, “We hope this project becomes accessible to everyone through tailored promotion and support activities.”

The advanced field innovation convergence university project is led by the National Research Foundation of Korea and the Ministry of Education. It is a talent cultivation initiative that breaks down boundaries between universities and departments, allowing any student to take courses in new technology fields regardless of their major.

Gyeongnam Information University is currently conducting the 4th year of the 2nd phase of the project in the energy new industry sector.
