After the briefing, commemorative photos and networking followed.

The 그린바이오산업학과 is a retraining-type 계약학과 designed to enhance the expertise and on-site responsiveness of employees at related companies. Its goal is to cultivate practice-oriented professionals in connection with industry, building on the educational and research foundations of the 생명자원과학과 and the 응용생명과학부.

Starting with this recruitment and orientation of new students, the 경상국립대 그린바이오산업학과 plans to train practice-oriented talent to solve pressing technical challenges in the field, such as discovering agro-life resources and developing bio-materials.
