KIMS signed an MOU with Changwon National University

Tackling local problems through academic-research cooperation!



The Korea Institute of Materials Science, a government-funded research institute under the Ministry of Science and ICT, signed

an MOU with Changwon National University to promote academic-research cooperation. The two institutions are committed to

strengthening their mutual technology, contributing to industrial development, and promoting cooperative projects. The MOU was

signed on December 10 (Fri.) at the conference room on the 2nd floor of the Changwon National University headquarters in

Uichang-gu, Changwon.



Since its establishment in 1969, Changwon National University, one of the best educational, research, and industry-academia

cooperation institutions in the region, has been making steady efforts to develop the local economy by cultivating talented

individuals who contribute to the development of the local community and leading the advancement of the Changwon National

Industrial Complex, the mecca of the Korean machinery industry. Recently, the university conducted a youth project to solve

regional problems with Mondragon University in Spain to provide opportunities for young people to take an interest in local

problems on their own and to actively solve problems of the local community.



The two institutions will engage in academic research and exchanges (joint projects, seminars, workshops, etc.); occupational

training and recruitment promotion to expand local talent employment; data sharing for university (graduate) student field training

and experiential cooperation and job creation, cooperation through exchange of technical information and mutual technical advice,

and mutual use of facilities and equipment and mutual exchange of human and material resources, etc.



Jung-hwan Lee, the President of KIMS said, “As KIMS is located in the local area, we always feel the responsibility to develop 

Changwon National Industrial Complex.” “The two institutions pledge to spare no effort to lay the foundation for academic-research

cooperation, continue the development of Changwon National Industrial Complex, ”he added.
