On September 24, at the Main Administration Building, KMU concluded a business exchange agreement with DGIST (Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute Of Science and Technology) to cultivate people of talent in science by building a cooperative system to exchange researchers, do joint projects, exchange students, acknowledge credit exchange, and exchange curriculum, academic information, and facilities and equipment.

By sharing science and technology education and research that are DGIST's specialized areas and KMU’s competitiveness in the field of humanities, arts, and physical education, it is expected that there will be knock-on effects in training science and technology professionals and reviving the local economy.

President Synn said, “It is quite meaningful to share and gather the abilities of these two higher education institutions. I hope KMU’s improves in competitiveness and contributes to local economic development by training science and technology professionals.”
