The Significance of Busan Kyungsung University as the Final Selection in 2025 Glocal University
Located in Busan, Kyungsung University has been selected as a standalone model in the Ministry of Education's "2025 Glocal University 30" evaluation.
This achievement enables Kyungsung University to contribute to the innovation of local universities and enhance Busan's international competitiveness with the goal of becoming a 'K-Culture Global Innovation Leading University.'
Kyungsung University, Vision as a Leader in K-Culture Global Innovation
Kyungsung University proposed a model for an ultra-immersive convergence campus based on the MEGA (Media/Movie, Entertainment, Gala/Mice, Arts) industry.
The key of this model is to nurture talent in K-culture. It operates on a free course and yearless system, providing an ultra-immersive learning environment and establishing a free learning system through collaboration with world-renowned masters.
In addition, it operates creative and research modules centered on movie, media, performance, and arts through the MEGA Lab, and has established the K-MEGA Alliance to conduct joint productions and global summits and festivals.
This approach transcends simple theoretical research and positions the university as a participant in creative activities and profit generation, establishing a convergence-based innovation model.
Busan Secures Three Glocal University Models
Busan is promoting various university integration models from 2023 to 2025. First, the integration model of Busan National University and Busan National University of Education will begin, followed by the union model of Dong-a University and Dongseo University in 2024. Finally, Kyungsung University's standalone model will be added in 2025.
Through these five universities and three glocal innovation strategies, they aim to enhance regional university innovation and strengthen global competitiveness by 2029. This goes beyond simply overcoming the crisis of local universities to develop Busan as a center for education, culture, and industrial innovation as part of a long-term plan.
Glocal University 30: The Bigger Picture of Local University Innovation
‘Glocal University 30’ is a national project that supports local universities in enhancing their international competitiveness with a maximum government funding of 100 billion won over five years.
From 2023, 10 models will be selected annually, culminating in a final total of 27 models in 2025. This year, a total of 81 universities submitted 55 applications, with 25 universities selected for preliminary designation, and finally, 7 models confirmed.
The participation of Busan Kyungsung University can be seen as a successful fruition of the collaboration model between local governments, universities, and the industry, which has been continuously promoted by Busan. This is considered an important achievement in Busan's university innovation.
Results of Other Universities' Selection
This year, 81 universities participated and through rigorous competition, a total of 7 models were selected.
In the Chungcheong region, Suncheon National University, Hanseo University, and the integration model of Chungnam National University and Kongju National University were included. In the Jeolla region, the integration model between Jeonnam National University and Chosun University - Chosun University of Nursing was adopted, and Jeju National University was chosen in the Jeju region. In the Gyeongsang region, Busan Kyungsung University was included.
In particular, the integration models of Chungnam National University and Kongju National University and Chosun University and Chosun University of Nursing suggest that cooperation between national and private universities is being achieved. This well demonstrates that the Glocal University project is developing in various forms.
Conclusion: Future Innovation with Busan-style RISE
The recent achievement of Kyungsung University is interpreted as a signal that Busan is actively promoting region-centered university innovation in collaboration with the Ministry of Education's RISE project.
The selected universities will submit revised plans reflecting the improvements identified during the evaluation process and will immediately start the project from the second half of the year. The city of Busan will spare no administrative and financial support, actively participating in the dissemination and evaluation of results to build a sustainable university innovation model.
Ultimately, the promotion of glocal universities in Busan will not be limited to mere university transformation but will solidify its position as a strategic project closely connected to Busan's future growth drivers.
