The Institute for Educational Development at Busan National University (President Choi Jaewon) held the orientation and entrance ceremony for the "2025 Gifted Nurturing Project" on May 10 in the university's main conference room. The event was attended by gifted elementary, middle, and high school students, along with their parents and teachers, from the Busan, Ulsan, Gyeongnam, Gyeongbuk, and Daegu regions.

The "Gifted Nurturing Project" is a customized gifted education support program hosted by the Ministry of Education and organized by the KAIST Center for Gifted Education Research. It is jointly operated by four regional universities nationwide (Busan National University, Incheon National University, Seoul National University, and Daejeon University). In the Gyeongsang region, centered on Busan National University, a total of 243 students have been selected this year to participate in the program.

Busan National University plans to provide these students with a variety of annual educational activities, including SW·AI Creative Convergence Camps, Expert Mentoring Days, visits to science high schools and gifted schools, and career and academic mentoring programs. In particular, the university will implement a one-on-one mentoring system for each student, focusing on discovering individual potential and strengthening career competencies.

The launch ceremony included a project briefing session, a special lecture on invention, a special lecture on understanding the mind, and meetings with mentor teachers, all of which received a positive response from participants.

Kim Jungseop, professor of education at Busan National University, stated, "Starting this year, third-grade elementary students are also eligible to participate, allowing us to identify even more potential gifted students at an earlier stage," adding, "We will actively operate the program to provide practical support for students to discover their potential and plan their future paths."

Busan National University plans to further strengthen its role as a hub for gifted education in the Gyeongsang region through ongoing program development and support for mentors.
