IBM Korea and SKKU Have Teamed up to Cultivate Software Specialists

Sungkyunkwan University and IBM Korea signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for academic-industrial cooperation and exchange on Feb. 5.

"In accordance with the MOU, our university will actively cooperate with IBM Korea to conduct research on internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence software," said Sungkyunkwan University President Chung Kyu Sang, "We will make concerted efforts to foster IT specialists." IBM Korea will provide Sungkyunkwan with the IBM Bluemix, a cloud platform supporting several programming languages and services. "We will work together with Sungkyunkwan to help students develop new software programs," a company manager said.

IBM, an America-based multinational technology and consulting corporation, has partnered with more than 6,000 universities and colleges throughout the world. More than 3 million students have benefited from its partnership programs. "Apart from Sungkyunkwan, we will expand academic-industrial cooperation with more local universities," said IBM Korea Vice President Kim Won-jong, "I believe our technical support will contribute to the development of the nation's software industry."

IBM runs a global program called the 'IBM Academic Initiative' for college and university students and professors to promote academic-industrial collaboration. The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning selected Sungkyunkwan as a software-focused university last year for its efforts to nurture software experts.
