- 글로벌자율전공학부 주관 … 전국 4년제 대학 중 1개 대학 선정
- 2027년까지 일본·태국·미국 국제 공동연구 및 학생교류 활동 추진


국립부경대학교(총장 배상훈)가 교육부와 아시아태평양경제협력체(APEC) 국제교육협력원이 추진하는 ‘2026년 APEC 학술교류 프로그램 사업’ 수행 기관으로 선정됐다. 

이 프로그램은 APEC 역내 대학 간 공동연구와 학생 교류를 통해 고등교육 분야의 국제협력 기반을 강화하는 사업으로, 전국 4년제 대학 가운데 1곳을 선정해 지원한다. 사업은 2027년 12월까지 2개년에 걸쳐 추진되며 연간 사업비는 1억 원 규모다.

국립부경대는 글로벌자율전공학부 주관으로 사업 수행에 나선다. 이 학부 홍창유 교수가 연구책임을 맡아 ‘청년 인적자원개발과 미래 일자리 역량 강화’를 주제로 해양·항만도시 부산의 특성과 국립부경대의 교육·연구 역량을 결합한 ‘Blue Economy 연계 청년 미래 일자리 모델’을 제시한다는 계획이다. 이를 위해 국내외 학생들로 국제 혼합 연구팀을 구성해 청년 일자리와 지역 창업, 청년 이동성 등을 공동 조사하는 등 공동연구와 현장 프로젝트를 수행한다.

사업에는 글로벌자율전공학부 학생 등 국립부경대 학생 40여 명과 해외 협력대학 학생 60여 명 등 100명 이상의 국내외 학생이 참여한다. 일본 후쿠오카대학교와 스마트항만 등을 주제로 대학생 해커톤을 운영하고, 태국 탐마삿대학교와는 아세안 지역 기후변화 적응 및 녹색 전환 문제를 공동 조사한다. 또한 미국 아이오와주립대학교와 청년 정주 전략을 연구하는 등 부산을 거점으로 한국·일본·태국·미국을 연결하는 국제 공동연구 및 학생교류 네트워크를 구축할 계획이다.

국립부경대 글로벌자율전공학부는 그동안 국제학생 교육과 국내외 대학 교류를 통해 축적해 온 국제교류 경험과 글로벌 교육 역량을 APEC 차원의 다자간 학술 협력으로 확장에 나선다. 이 사업을 계기로 기존 학생 교류 중심의 국제화를 넘어 공동연구, 국제 혼합 연구팀, 글로벌 현장조사, 해커톤 등을 연계한 국제협력 모델을 구축한다는 전략이다.

연구책임자인 홍창유 교수는 “APEC이라는 더 넓은 국제협력 플랫폼을 무대로 부산의 해양·항만도시 강점을 활용해 APEC 지역 청년들이 함께 미래 일자리와 지역혁신의 해법을 모색하는 국제 학술교류 모델을 만들어가겠다”고 밝혔다. <부경투데이>

 

Pukyong National University Selected for Ministry of Education’s ‘APEC Academic Exchange Program’

- School of Global and Interdisciplinary Studies to Lead the Program … Pukyong National University Selected as the Sole Institution among Four-Year Universities Nationwide

- International Joint Research and Student Exchange Activities with Japan, Thailand, and the United States to Continue through 2027

 

Pukyong National University (President Sang-Hoon Bae) has been selected as an implementing institution for the 2026 APEC Academic Exchange Program, jointly promoted by the Ministry of Education and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Institute for International Education.

 

The program aims to strengthen the foundation for international cooperation in higher education through joint research and student exchanges among universities across APEC economies. One four-year university nationwide is selected to receive support under the program. The project will run for two years through December 2027, with an annual budget of approximately KRW 100 million.

 

Pukyong National University will carry out the project under the leadership of the School of Global and Interdisciplinary Studies. Professor Chang-Yu Hong of the school will serve as the principal investigator and lead the project under the theme of “Youth Human Resource Development and Strengthening Future Employment Competencies.” By combining Busan’s strengths as a maritime and port city with Pukyong National University’s educational and research capabilities, the project aims to propose a “Blue Economy-Linked Future Employment Model for Youth.” To this end, international mixed research teams comprising Korean and international students will conduct joint research and field projects on topics such as youth employment, regional entrepreneurship, and youth mobility.

 

More than 100 students from Korea and abroad will participate in the project, including approximately 40 Pukyong National University students, such as those from the School of Global and Interdisciplinary Studies, and around 60 students from overseas partner universities. The university will organize a student hackathon with Fukuoka University in Japan on topics including smart ports, conduct joint research with Thammasat University in Thailand on climate change adaptation and green transition in the ASEAN region, and study strategies for encouraging young people to settle in local communities with Iowa State University in the United States. Through these activities, the university plans to establish an international joint research and student exchange network connecting Korea, Japan, Thailand, and the United States, with Busan serving as the hub.

 

The School of Global and Interdisciplinary Studies at Pukyong National University plans to build on its experience in international exchange and global education, accumulated through the education of international students and exchanges with universities in Korea and abroad, and expand these capabilities into multilateral academic cooperation across Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) economies. Through the project, the school aims to move beyond internationalization centered primarily on student exchanges and establish a new model of international cooperation that integrates joint research, international mixed research teams, global field studies, hackathons, and other activities.

 

Professor Chang-Yu Hong, the principal investigator, said, “Using APEC as a broader platform for international cooperation, we will leverage Busan’s strengths as a maritime and port city to develop an international academic exchange model in which young people across APEC economies can work together to explore solutions for future employment and regional innovation.” <Pukyong Today>
