Pukyong National University (President Jang Young-soo) signed cooperation agreement with Dongnam Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences (Abbr. DIRAMS, President Park Sang-il), which is the core base of domestic medical radiology and is promoting research in the field of radiological & medical sciences and training of professionals in earnest.

On the morning of 10th, February, Pukyong National University and Dongnam Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences signed agreement on Co-ordination for joint research and development and training of professionals in the field of medical radiology and medical sciences at the university president's office on the 3rd floor of the Administration building of Pukyong National University. At the ceremony, Park Jae-ho from the Democratic Party of Korea, Jeong Dong-mahn from the People Power Party, and Busan New Growth Industry Bureau, Nam Jeong-eun, section chief of the New Growth Engine Industry Bureau of Busan Metropolitan City, attended the agreement ceremony.

Pukyong National University is promoting the establishment of a College of Medical Radiology specializing in radiological medical care in the 'Southern East Area Radiology Medical & Science Industrial Complex' in Jangan-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan, where the Dongnam Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences is located, and if the Dongnam Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences is designated as an affiliated hospital, the synergy between these two is expected to be great. Pukyong National University signed an MOU with Busan Metropolitan City and Gijang-gun in June of last year to establish the College of Medical Radiology. Subsequently, by signing agreement on Co-ordination with the Dongnam Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences, which can develop jointly as an affiliated hospital, Pukyong National University has set up a regional promotion system for the establishment of the College of Medical Radiology.

At the agreement ceremony on the day, both organizations announced that Busan will promote research and development cooperation as well as nurturing human resources in the radiological science and medical fields to lead the future precision medicine and high-tech industry, radiology science. For this plan, in the future, both organizations plan to promote research and exchange instructor, train regional-based innovative medical scientists, operate professional manpower training courses, internships, mentoring, and field training for related manpower. In addition, agreement on Co-ordination will be strengthened through joint use of facilities and equipment, including the operation of an open laboratory, as well as medical treatment and medical examination convenience for students and faculty members.

With the joint agreement between Pukyong National University and the Dongnam Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences, R&D and exchange of human resources in the Southern east Area Radiology Medical & Science Industrial Complex which are currently under construction, are expected to be active. The complex includes Medical Heavy lon Accelerator (260.6 billion won), which is a state-of-the-art cancer treatment equipment, a new research furnace (438.9 billion won), a core facility in radiology science, and a power semiconductor commercialization center using radiation technology (194 billion won), and fusion R&D infrastructure facilities for isotope (31.3 billion won) will be built, and related companies will move in. In addition, it is expected that the foundation to grow into a world-class radiology medical science cluster will be established if the innovative network of industry-academia-research centered on the Pukyong National University and the Dongnam Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences with 300 beds with medical professionals.

President Jang Young-soo said, "We agreed that exchange and cooperation between the two organizations is essential for joint research and training of specialists in the field of medical radiology, so we decided to make the agreement," he added, "This agreement is expected to be an important step toward making Busan City as a global center for medical science, which is a convergence industry and the medical radiology. We look forward to your active support in establishing the College of Medical Radiology of Pukyong National University."

President Park Sang-il said, "The Southern east Area Radiology Medical & Science Industrial Complex is a place that we are paying attention to in many ways, including a new research furnace followed by the Southeast Atomic Energy Academy."

Park Jae-ho from the Democratic Party of Korea, said, "I think it is important to secure jobs for young people and lead the 4th industry for the future of Busan. In the future, we will actively take care of the establishment of the College of Medical Radiology at Pukyong National University so that we can continue to research and be interested in the development of the radiological science field and help Busan to develop."

Followed by Jeong Dong-mahn from the People Power Party, said, "The Southern east Area Radiology Medical & Science Industrial Complex in Gijang is a world-class complex of radiological medical science industries such as Dongnam Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences, Medical Heavy lon Accelerator, and power semiconductor commercialization center. We will do our best to support establish a Radiology Medical & Science Complex of Pukyong National University so that this place can be the center of talent training as well as creating jobs in the field of radiology."
