The Glocal College Promotion Team at National Kyungguk University, led by Director Lim Jaehwan, visited Hanoi Medical University on November 12 and signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the operation of global joint education programs and international collaborative research. This agreement is a strategic measure to enhance educational and research cooperation with leading overseas universities and to elevate the region-based innovation ecosystem to a global level.

The signing ceremony was attended by Jeon Yongho, Head of the Industry-Academia Innovation Headquarters, Yoon Sunwoo, Director of the Vaccine Convergence Innovation Center, and Choi Hyungwoo, Director of the Bio Convergence Innovation Center, who discussed the direction of joint cooperation between the two institutions. Both sides agreed to pursue substantial international collaboration in key healthcare fields such as preventive medicine, vaccine biotechnology, and public health.

In particular, through this MOU, the two institutions will officially launch collaborative projects such as advancing joint research in preventive medicine and public health, expanding global internship-based capstone design programs, and regularizing joint academic programs and international symposiums. In December, they plan to jointly operate a PRE-internship-based global capstone design program to strengthen students' practical experience in overseas settings.

Starting with this agreement, National Kyungguk University aims to expand its industry-academia-research network with universities in Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, and to raise the region-based healthcare innovation capacity to an international level. In particular, the university will systematize global internships and field-oriented education to focus on developing students' international practical skills.
