Inha University and Incheon Office of Education Sign Agreement to Build Life-Cycle AI Education System

Inha University and the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education will work together to develop an Incheon-style artificial intelligence (AI) education model to foster talent.

On the 10th, Inha University announced that it plans to establish and operate an AI education system tailored to each stage of the life cycle for elementary, middle, and high school students in cooperation with the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education.

The two institutions agreed to gradually expand the AI education environment with the goal of nurturing 300,000 AI-based creative and convergent talents. They plan to pool their efforts to broaden the foundation of AI education throughout the local community by strengthening teachers' capabilities in AI convergence education and by operating education programs for parents and citizens.

This Incheon-style AI education system is also significant in that it is linked to the "Recreating the Value of the Old Downtown in Connection with the Jemulpo Renaissance" project, one of the Incheon RISE (Regional Innovation-led University Support System) initiatives, and will contribute to recreating the value of the old downtown.

To this end, the two institutions also signed an "addendum agreement for the establishment and operation of the Incheon-style AI Open Campus." The Incheon-style AI Open Campus will be created within the Jemulpo AI Convergence Education Center and is scheduled to be operated as an AI education hub at the center of regional innovation in Incheon by connecting Inha University's educational and research capabilities with the educational infrastructure of the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education's AI Convergence Education Institute.

Incheon Superintendent of Education Do Seonghun said, "This year, we have set 'completing educational innovation through Incheon-style AI education' as the core direction of our education policy," adding, "By cooperating with universities, we will realize innovation in public education and expand the Incheon-style AI education model throughout the entire region."

Inha University President Cho Myoungwoo said, "We will actively share Inha University's educational and research capabilities to help the original downtown area of Jemulpo be reborn as a space of learning and innovation."
