이어 “부산 공유대학의 플랫폼에서 공유대학의 특성화된 융합전공을 만들고, 학생들이 자유롭게 수강하는 것은 물론, 미 참여 대학 교원과 학생들에게도 플랫폼을 개방해야 할 것이다.”라며, “이를 통해 대학이 혁신하고, 지역이 혁신하며, 우수 인재가 지역에 정주하는 선순환 구조를 가지게 될 것으로 기대한다.”라고 밝혔다. <부경투데이>

The ‘Strategy Forum on Innovation of Joint Universities in Busan’ was held on October 20 in the Capri Room on the 2nd floor of Paradise Busan to present the shared university model for Busan.

This forum, supervised by the Busan Institute for University Innovation (BIUI) and hosted jointly by the Busan National University Innovation Network (BNU 4 NET), including Pukyong National University, Pusan National University, Pusan National University of Education, and Korea Maritime & Ocean University, was held on & offline under the theme of 'Exploring a sharing university model of Busan to build a regional innovative platform'.

This forum is an event to lay the groundwork for promoting the regional innovation platform project, which is the main project of the Ministry of Education, and to present a sharing university model of Busan.

The opening address was given by Kim Seok-Soo, Director of Planning at Pusan National University, followed by welcoming speech by Cha Jeong-In, President of Pusan National University, congratulatory messages by President Jang Young-Soo and Busan Mayor Park Heong-Joon, and Jang In-Hwa, Chairman of Busan Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

President Jang Young-Soo said in his congratulatory speech, "I believe that we are standing at a very important point where local governments, universities, and local institutions must cooperate to build a regional-bespoke university model that consolidates the strengths of each university," he continued, "With the belief that the specialized fields of the university are the basis of the regional innovation platform, our university will also actively contribute with the recognition that opening up and sharing the university's assets and capabilities is not a loss, but a development engine for innovation."

Then, Kim Seok-Soo, Director of Planning at Pusan National University, and Lee Hyeon-Gyu, Director of Planning at Pukyong National University, gave presentations, and Seo Dong-Hwan, Director of Planning at Korea Maritime & Ocean University, took the chair and held a discussion on the topic of 'Plans for Busan Regional RIS Project and Sharing University’.

Through a presentation under the theme of 'Development of Sharing University Model of Busan', Lee Hyeon-Gyu, Director of Planning and Coordination Office, said, "A sharing university is a regional-specific higher education model in which local governments, universities, regional innovation organizations, and local businesses cooperate to gather their strengths," he added, "I think that by combining the characteristics of local industry with this, we can have the strength of sharing universities tailored to the Busan area. We must think about the keywords of specialization and regional specialization."

He continued, "In my opinion, the platform of the sharing university in Busan should be created with a specialized convergence major for the sharing university, and the students can freely take the course, and the platform should be opened to teachers and students of non-participating universities as well," said, "I believe that this will create a virtuous cycle in which universities innovate, regions innovate, and excellent talents settle in the region." <Pukyong Today>
