Pukyong National University to Solely Challenge 'Glocal University 30'

"Making Busan a Global Advanced City"
Cultivating Talent Tailored to Strategic Industries

National Pukyong National University (President Bae Sang-hoon) has decided to challenge the 100 billion won-scale Glocal University project independently.

On the 3rd, National Pukyong National University announced that it will apply for this year's Glocal University 30 project as a standalone model without forming an alliance with other universities.

The university held the 2nd Glocal Communication Council meeting on the afternoon of the 31st of last month on the first floor of Dongwon Jangbogwan to discuss the strategy for promoting the Glocal University 30 project.

Having faced disappointment last year when applying with an integrated model for the Glocal University 30 project, National Pukyong National University plans to focus all efforts on being selected this year with a standalone model.

National Pukyong National University is challenging the Glocal University 30 project through innovation that transcends internal and external university boundaries. Under the title “PKNU B.R.I.D.G.E. (Knowledge Bridge),” it plans to cultivate customized high-level talent to contribute to the revitalization of Busan’s strategic industries. Through this, the university aims to play a key role in helping Busan leap beyond the region to become a global advanced city.

Earlier, since November last year, National Pukyong National University established the Glocal Project Headquarters to strategically promote the Glocal University 30 project and formed the Glocal Communication Council to facilitate communication among members. It has also maximized participation and feedback from members by consecutively conducting surveys, holding university innovation policy seminars, and organizing project idea contests.

In January, the university expanded communication and cooperation with the local community by holding a meeting with the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education to discuss cooperation plans and policy directions for regional education innovation.

Lee Min-hee, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Head of the Glocal Project Headquarters at National Pukyong National University, emphasized, “Through this year’s Glocal University 30 project, we will devote all efforts to nurturing globally competitive talent, contributing to regional development, and advancing as a national university that coexists with Busan City.”
