On the 12th, Dong-Eui University Busan IT Convergence Parts Research Institute held a 'GS Certification Standards Briefing' at the 9th-floor training center of the Korea Information and Communication Technology Association (TTA) in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do.
About 270 people who pre-registered participated in the briefing, which was conducted both online and offline.
