This Resource Development Academy, held at the International Geo-Resources Human Resources Development Center, was organized in accordance with the 'Business Agreement for the Domestic Continental Shelf Resource Development Industry-Academia-Research Cooperation Platform' signed last year by public enterprises and research institutes related to resource development and 11 domestic universities. About 20 students from the partner universities and research institutes completed the program.

The curriculum consisted of lectures on resource development by professors from partner universities such as Pusan National University and Kyungpook National University, as well as practical courses based on the expertise of public enterprises (Korea National Oil Corporation, Korea Gas Corporation) and research institutes (Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources).

In particular, Korea National Oil Corporation provided practical courses that could enhance applicability in the field by linking basic knowledge of upstream petroleum development, including oil exploration, development, and production, as well as unconventional oil, with actual work sites.

A representative from Korea National Oil Corporation stated, "Through the Resource Development Academy, students were given the opportunity to learn both theory and practical knowledge, which must have been of real help to them," adding, "We will continue to further develop our educational programs to foster talent in resource development."
