The two universities agreed to exchange education and research on the energy sector in general including efficient use of oil, gas, and other energy resources, climate change, and other environmental issues. Dr. SUH said that this agreement would be the starting point of exchange and cooperation in the energy sector between Korea and Russia.

Ajou University established a degree program (both master’s and Ph.D.’s) in energy and climate change and established the university-affiliated energy institute in 1986 for the first time in Korea in order to cultivate professionals in energy and climate change-related areas. Since 2003, it has been providing training for energy-related public and private sectors and has been conducting research in accordance with the governmental (Ministry of Knowledge Energy formerly known as Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Energy) plan for the cultivation of experts in energy.
