Ulsan Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) is planning to build an artificial intelligence (AI) hub that encompasses Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam (Buulgyeong).
The Ulsan Science and Technology Institute held a “Ulsan Science and Technology Science Institute 2050 Vision Declaration Ceremony” on the college headquarters on the twenty third and declared that it’ll leap ahead as a world “hub of innovation” by establishing a cooperative relationship with the most important industries of Boolean Gyeongnam primarily based on research-oriented universities.
Kim Dong-joon, head of the Ministry of Science and ICT, Ahn Hyo-dae, deputy mayor of Ulsan City, Kim Bong-cheol, head of the Busan Digital Economy Office, Lim Ki-chul, vice chairman of KAIST, Lee Kyu-min, vice chairman of Pukyong National University, and Yoon Sung-taek, vice chairman of Korea University, attended the declaration ceremony. An official from the Ulsan Science and Technology Institute stated, “This declaration ceremony is the starting point not only for a university to declare its vision, but also for the government, local governments, and the science community to draw new coordinates of national science and technology together.”
The implementation plan of “Vision 2050” introduced on the identical day drew consideration because it included a technique for artificial intelligence cooperation between Boolean and Gyeongsang Province. The Ulsan Science and Technology Institute plans to set up an “ultra-large industrial artificial intelligence research center” centered on main industries in Buulgyeong, reminiscent of manufacturing and power. The analysis heart serves as a base for creating and commercializing artificial intelligence know-how in shut contact with industrial websites.
According to the Ulsan Science and Technology Institute plan, the analysis heart will develop world-class industrial artificial intelligence fashions for 5 years from 2026 to 2030 and prepare a complete of 2,000 professionals within the industrial artificial intelligence subject within the Bhuulgyeong space.
Park Jong-rae, president of the Ulsan Science and Technology Institute, stated, “Buulgyeong is a key axis of Korea’s manufacturing industry and a region at the forefront of industrial transformation. We will implement an ultra-innovative economy through manufacturing AX (artificial intelligence conversion) centered on the ultra-large industry artificial intelligence research center and cultivate high-quality artificial intelligence talents.” “With the current education system, we cannot prepare for the era of innovation that artificial intelligence will bring,” President Park stated. “Ulsan Science and Technology Institute will constantly innovate and challenge to produce future talents with creativity, insight, and convergent connection.”
This is the second time that Ulsan Science and Technology has declared a imaginative and prescient. When Ulsan Science and Technology Institute declared ‘Vision 2030’ in 2011, it aimed to enter the world’s prime 10 universities. Since then, it has ranked fourth on this planet within the 2024 THE Small University Evaluation, and has achieved No. 1 rating in Korea for eight consecutive years within the Raydon Rankings, which evaluates the highest 10% of cited papers.
