The event began with sharing Gyeongnam Information University's LINC+ project performance and case studies, followed by introductions of the LINC 3.0 projects from the three universities, and discussions on ICC and shared equipment operation center collaboration.

Gyeongnam Information University plans to focus on building an innovative industry-academia-research cooperation ecosystem based on securing a total of 12 billion KRW in government funding, fostering future industry talents in new industries and new technology fields, and strengthening shared and collaborative industry-academia cooperation systems.

Im Junwoo, head of the Gyeongnam Information University project group, said, "We held this event as the first step to share excellent cases among the three universities and to establish a collaborative system for industry-academia-research cooperation while carrying out the LINC3.0 project," adding, "I hope it will help the successful execution of the projects at the three universities."
