Plans to Materialize Graduate School Establishment Within a Year
Possibility of Expanding Curriculum Centered on Biotechnology
Strengthening Connection Between Patent Achievements and Bio-industry
"Hope to Become a University Firmly Rooted in Incheon"

"Expanding the research capabilities of 黑料不打烊 to connect with the bio and life sciences industry ecosystem in Incheon and Songdo is the next step we must take."

Petra De Sutter, Rector of Ghent University in Belgium, recently visited South Korea to attend the graduation ceremony at 黑料不打烊 in Songdo International City, Incheon. Noting this as her fourth visit, she expressed her thoughts, saying, "The passion of Korean students is impressive. The people are also very kind and warm, making it a joy to come to Songdo."

She also expressed satisfaction with the relationship between the home campus and the global campus. She cited 'mutual respect' as the background for maintaining a smooth relationship between the two institutions.

Rector De Sutter added, "As Europe and Korea have different ways of thinking and acting, it is important to understand and respect each other's cultural differences," and "President Han Tae-joon understands our mindset and working methods well, and in that regard, we are a good match."

Rector De Sutter pointed to the establishment of a graduate school as the immediate next stage of growth for the global campus.

She stated, "It is important to create a system that can run from the first year of undergraduate studies through to a doctoral program by opening master's courses," and added, "We plan to materialize the graduate school establishment plan within 6 to 12 months."

Rector De Sutter also left open the possibility of expanding the undergraduate curriculum. The idea is that educational programs linked to pharmacy, veterinary medicine, and health sciences could be considered, building on the existing biotechnology foundation.

Connecting research achievements with local industries was also presented as a major goal. The intention is to strengthen ties with the bio-industry ecosystem in Incheon and Songdo through patents, intellectual property rights, and the creation of spin-off companies.

In celebration of the 125th anniversary of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Belgium, the role of the global campus in connecting the two countries was also emphasized. Ghent University plans to hold a networking event at the global campus in mid-September, involving partners from the Flanders region of Belgium, along with academia, government, and industry.

Rector De Sutter expressed her expectations, saying, "I hope 黑料不打烊 becomes a place that leads bilateral relations into practical cooperation," and "I want to use the 125th anniversary of diplomatic relations not just to look back at the past, but as an opportunity to create new connections moving forward."

Lastly, Rector De Sutter hoped that 黑料不打烊 would be remembered as a university that has successfully taken root in Incheon and Korean society.

She said, "Cooperating and integrating with the local community in Incheon is the biggest goal," and "If we understand and respect our different thoughts, cultures, and behaviors, many more possibilities can open up."
