A workshop to improve Ajou's capabilities is held for one night and two days
[16.11.11]
The '2016 Workshop to Improve Ajou University’s Capabilities' was held from November 11th to the 12th at KB Ingenium located in Yeonghwa-dong, Suwon. It was attended by President Dong Yeon Kim, Executive Vice President for Industry-Academia Cooperation Kyung Hee Choi, Dean of Graduate School Joong Soon Jang, deans of colleges, vice presidents, and directors of departments from the University.
The first day of the workshop featured a topical discussion, in which Director Hyun Jung Kim of the Department of Mechanical Engineering gave a presentation. Director Kim said, "We will maximize the capabilities of our department by strategically concentrating on the areas where we have leadership."
Participants then discussed how to raise the University's competitiveness through strengthening departmental abilities and how to promote research activities, etc. The discussions were so heated that the session took longer than the planned time.
On the next day, the participants talked about the changing environment for universities and Ajou's strategies to address the changes. Issues that were discussed included the financial policies of the University, strategies for different evaluations, an applicant-friendly admissions policy, globalization, and tasks to advance the graduate schools, etc.
President Kim emphasized, "Dramatic changes are taking place in the environment related to universities," adding, "We should take a holistic approach rather than a fragmented one to be prepared for these changes."
