The University Basic Research Institute Support Project is a flagship government initiative to bolster academic research infrastructure. Over the next five years, it will provide a total of 25 billion KRW (approximately 19 million USD) in research funding to promote innovation in basic sciences and foster university research institutes as world-class research hubs.

Through this project, Soongsil University will focus on the "Mathematical, Statistical Science, and Artificial Intelligence" sector, undertaking major initiatives such as AI-based medical big data analysis, AI-based multi-omics analysis, and the development of AI algorithms and hardware. The university aims to achieve results in the field of digital health data analysis and utilization, a national strategic technology, and to realize social value by connecting with industry and medical sites.

Soongsil University plans to enable young researchers-including undergraduate research interns, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers-to take a leading role in the research. The goal is to support students not just as learners but as agents of innovation, thereby establishing an academic ecosystem where research and education create a virtuous cycle.

Lee Yoonjae, President of Soongsil University, stated, "We will actively expand international joint research and industry-academia cooperation to ensure that research outcomes lead to tangible results in industry and society."
