 YU (President Sur Gil-soo) received the highest grade, ‘A’, in the first annual evaluation of the ‘University Innovation Support Project’ supported by the Ministry of Education and National Research Foundation.
 
  The University Innovation Support Project aims at improving the basic capacities of universities and support strategic specialization to respond to changes in the future society, while constructing a future-oriented creative personnel incubation system based on national innovative growth through the autonomous innovation of universities. The project period is from 2019 to 2021. The second year (2020) and third year (2021) project cost distribution will be supported in connection with the previous year’s annual evaluation results.
 
  Universities participating in the project are categorized into type 1 (autonomous agreement type) and type 2 (empowerment type). For type 1, 131 autonomous improvement universities based on the ‘2018 University Basic Capacity Diagnosis and Faculty Fostering Institute Diagnosis’ results participated in five regions (capital area/Daegu-Gyeongbuk-Gangwon/Chungcheong/Honam-Jeju/Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam regions). For type 2, 12 universities that passes the selection evaluation among 30 empowerment universities according to the ‘2018 University Basic Capacity Diagnosis’ results were selected.
 
  YU, which is under the type 1 Daegu-Gyeongbuk-Gangwon region, received the highest ranking in the 2019 annual evaluation with an ‘A’, and will thus receive about 7.8 billion KRW for the second year project funds. YU received approximately 6.5 billion KRW in the project cost for the first year last year.
 
  The University Innovation Support Project annual evaluation that the Ministry of Education notified to each university is the result of qualitative and quantitative evaluations for the first year project pursuance performance. In this evaluation, YU was assessed to have systematic internal and external analysis and diagnosis, and therefore, the University Innovation Support Project judged that YU had outstanding long-term development plans and consistency. Furthermore, it received good evaluations as its project goal was set in detail and reasonably, and for its first year project goal achievement and program operation performance.
 
  YU President Sur Gil-soo said “By receiving the top ranking in the first year of the University Innovation Support Project, the competitiveness and performance of the university innovation project being pursued by YU has been proven.” He added, “As we have procured more project funding by receiving the A rating, we will provide full support to achieve the goal of the University Innovation Support Project.”
