Kyungpook National University has decided to expand its research and educational exchanges with Sweden's University of Gothenburg and China's South China University of Technology, following recent visits by delegations from both universities. KNU President Heo Yeong-Woo has taken active steps to promote such international exchange opportunities since the beginning of his term.

The delegation from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, which included Deputy Vice-Chancellor Mette Sandoff, visited Kyungpook National University on November 15th and discussed ways to strengthen cooperation with KNU President Heo Yeong-Woo. The two universities agreed to further strengthen their existing cooperative relationship while also exploring concrete plans for joint research and educational programs.

Since 2022, Kyungpook National University has been actively involved in international exchanges as a global partner university of EUTOPIA, a European university alliance. The University of Gothenburg, a founding member of EUTOPIA, signed an international academic exchange agreement with KNU on November 6th.

On this day, the two universities shared KNU’s plans for its Global University Project and pledged to actively pursue various educational and research collaborations, including exchange student programs and joint international research. Notably, the delegation from the University of Gothenburg proposed that KNU visit the EAIE (European Association for International Education) conference in Gothenburg, Sweden, next year, demonstrating a strong commitment to expanding cooperation between the two universities. Founded in 1891, the University of Gothenburg is a leading public university in Northern Europe, comprising 8 colleges and 38 departments. It recently ranked 194th in the QS World University Rankings.

On November 18th, the delegation from South China University of Technology, which included Vice President Xi Guojing, visited KNU to discuss collaborative projects between the two universities. South China University of Technology, a comprehensive public university established in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, in 1952, is a prestigious Chinese university ranked 23rd in the Chinese Alumni Association University Rankings. The two universities are scheduled to sign an international academic exchange agreement this month, formalizing their partnership.
