On Yeungnam University’s side, Ms. Lee Chun Young, Director of the Institute of International Cooperation, and other members of the delegation were present
The meeting marked an important step forward in the partnership established in 2017 through agreements on training and research. In 2023, during a working trip to Korea, HUTECH signed a Memorandum of Academic Agreement (MoA) with Yeungnam University. This agreement provided a stronger foundation for student exchange programs to gradually take shape, while also expanding opportunities for collaboration in training, research, and academic exchange.
At the meeting, representatives from both institutions shared their development strategies for the next phase. The partner also highly valued HUTECH’s progress in internationalization and improving training quality.
