An industry-academic cooperation leading university (LINC+) project team of six universities in Busan, including Pukyong National University, jointly runs an online entrepreneurship education program to respond to COVID-19.

LINC+ project teams from six universities, including Pukyong National University, Tongmyong University, Dongseo University, Dong-A University, Dong-Eui University, and Korea Maritime & Oceans University, held the 'Agreement Ceremony for Real-Time Online Start-Up Education for Busan Corresponding to COVID-19' at the International Industry-Academic Cooperation Center at Tongmyong University on the 21st.

This agreement has been prepared to promote entrepreneurship by co-developing and operating new programs in the field of entrepreneurship education, as untact online classes are spreading due to COVID-19.

Under the agreement, the LINC+ project team in Busan decided to cooperate with each other in the development and operation of an online entrepreneurship education program, including the operation of a untact online start-up camp.

Accordingly, the LINC+ project team in Busan decided to open a joint start-up camp for 4 months until September after selecting 30 excellent start-up club students for each university. In addition, it provides an opportunity to discover related business start-up ideas such as artificial intelligence (AI), smart city, and COVID-19 response by using a real-time remote video lecture program, and to obtain a certificate of start-up expert certification.

Along with this, the project team plans to build a standardized real-time online entrepreneurship education model, cooperate with the spread of new entrepreneurship education models, and maximize the support effect for entrepreneurship.

Seo Yong-cheol, the leader of LINC+ of Pukyong National University, said, "We gathered the power of universities with the idea of cultivating the local entrepreneurship ecosystem through cooperation rather than competition. With this agreement, we will strengthen the cooperation system between each university's LINC + business team and develop Busan as a center for entrepreneurship education." <Pukyong Today>
