The research subsidy per full-time faculty ranked 1st in Busan, 40% of KIOST recruits are from PKNU

- The status of PKNU as shown in various data is attracting attention

Pukyong National University's status stands out in recent media reports covering university-related data, attracting public attention.

 

Veritas-α, a university media, published an article on September 22, 'Seoul national university ranked first in research funding with 685.4 billion won, Yonsei, Sungkyunkwan, KAIST and Korea university in the top 5'.

 

The article, which analyzed research grant performance data for 2022 published in University information last August, stated that Seoul national university (685.4 billion won) ranked first in research subsidy nationwide last year, Yonsei university (528.5 billion won) ranked second, and Sungkyunkwan university (512 billion won) ranked third.

 

Pusan national university had the most (192.5 billion won) in Busan, followed by Pukyong National University (93 billion won).

 

This is compared to the total research budget of the university. However, the actual competitiveness of each university can be derived by considering the amount of research funding received per full-time faculty member, rather than the total research budget.

 

When calculating the total research expenses per full-time faculty member, the ranking changes to POSTECH (785.51 million won) in first place, KAIST (702.47 million won) in second place, and GIST (528.86 million won) in third place. The rankings within the Busan region are also reversed, with Pukyong National University (151.28 million won) ranked 1st and Pusan National University (KRW 135.15 million) ranked 2nd.

 

Pukyong National University receives a lot of overall research funds, but because Pukyong National University has 615 full-time faculty members and Pukyong National University has 1,425 full-time faculty members, the research expenses per one person are higher at Pukyong National University. This means achieving greater results with a smaller number of people.

 

In addition, on September 20th, an article was published in <JoongAng Ilbo> titled '89% of successful applicants graduated from one university, too much focus on 'local talent in public enterprises’.

 

This article points out that the concentration of certain universities in public institutions is deepening due to the recruitment of local talent to utilize local talent, which means that specific universities produce many successful applicants to public institutions.

 

The article analyzed the local talent recruitment status of local public institutions with more than 500 employees from 2020 to 2023 by region, and in Busan, data from Pusan national university and Pukyong National University were released.

 

According to the data, 52% of the successful applicants to the Korea asset management corporation were from Pusan national University, and 40% of the successful applicants to the Korea institute of ocean science & technology (KIOST) were from Pukyong National University.

 

This can be analyzed as a reflection of Pukyong National University's competence of fostering many talented people in related researchers and public institutions based on its specialization in the marine and fisheries field. <Pukyong Today>
