National Research Centers

Project Outline

The purpose of the major research projects is to cultivate outstanding research centers to transform Kyung Hee University into a research-oriented university. The current government is conducting a research-based growth policy by supporting a balanced system of top-down/planned large-scale basic research and bottom-up/voluntary large-scale research. Kyung Hee University is affirming its status as a world-class institution in basic and combined sciences with 14 major projects (five on the Seoul Campus and nine on the Global Campus).
