This agreement aims to apply Naver Cloud's AI infrastructure to educational settings and, by leveraging the educational capabilities of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, support the university's transformation into an AI-focused institution through the establishment of a future-oriented smart campus and the cultivation of AI expertise.

To this end, Naver Cloud will provide GPUs optimized for the university research environment based on its AI infrastructure and solutions, and will build AI administrative and learning services powered by its HyperCLOVA X platform. In addition, it plans to launch multilingual administrative services that combine the university's language capabilities with Naver Cloud's AI solutions, thereby supporting the introduction of AI to the university's education and research environments.

Furthermore, the two parties will work to realize an integrated online and offline future-oriented smart campus. This includes advancing entry and payment systems through facial recognition technology and creating a smart administrative and learning environment based on Naver Works, the company's AI collaboration platform.

The two institutions will also cooperate in nurturing AI talent. Naver Cloud Academy and Naver Cloud Platform training courses will be incorporated into the university's regular curriculum, and opportunities such as internships, job fairs, and technical mentoring will be provided to expand recruitment connections and joint research initiatives.

Kang Ki-hoon, President of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, stated, "Our partnership with Naver Cloud will be an important starting point for building an AI-based smart campus and a future-oriented education and research environment. By combining global knowledge based on language, region, and the humanities with AI technology, we hope to develop a model university-industry collaboration that creates new value across various fields."
