Soonchunhyang University Selected for Ministry of Education's Core Research Support Center Project

31 Billion KRW in Funding Secured Through 2031

Soonchunhyang University announced on June 5 that it has been finally selected in the field of basic science research capacity enhancement for the Ministry of Education's '2025 Core Research Support Center Project'.

This project aims to establish specialized analytical infrastructure within universities to facilitate smooth experimentation for researchers in the field of basic sciences, and to open this infrastructure to the local community in order to advance the research base.

Soonchunhyang University will receive a total of 2.5 billion KRW in government funding by February 2031 to establish and operate a next-generation energy and display materials analysis center.

The center, with Professor Jung Soonki of the Department of Energy Engineering as the director, plans to establish a specialized analytical system for the performance evaluation of key materials for electric vehicle batteries and displays, as well as for the analysis of degradation mechanisms.

Professor Jung Soonki said, "We hope to build a system that enables researchers to move quickly from idea generation to experimentation and analysis, thereby laying the foundation for strengthening the connection within the regional research ecosystem."
