If selected for the project, the consortium will receive approximately 2.9 billion won per year for three years.

Shin Yeol, Vice President for Academic Affairs at Mokwon University and head of the overall project group, stated, "This agreement will serve as an opportunity to expand the scope of inter-university cooperation in the humanities and social sciences. Based on this agreement, Mokwon University will do its utmost to foster convergence talents who can contribute to building an inclusive society through inter-university collaboration and joint education."
