Ajou University ranked No. 1 among Korean universities in the Young University Rankings 2022 announced by the Times Higher Education (THE), a UK university evaluation institute. In Young University Rankings, THE conducts annual evaluations on universities established less than 50 years ago.THE Young University Rankings 2022 enjoyed the participation of 539 universities around the world. Evaluations were based on education, research, paper citations, globalization, and university-industry cooperation.Ajou University climbed to the No. 1 spot for Korean universities in this year’s evaluation. UNIST, POSTECH, and GIST, universities centering on specific affiliations, ranked in the top 1-3 in Korea, while Ajou University ranked 4th place. Its world ranking jumped 14 spots from last year to 138.The school scored higher across all evaluation items while particularly excelling in research and paper citations.Ajou University has made significant efforts to secure excellent teachers and strengthen its research capabilities. An Excellent Thesis Award has been set up which reflects quality evaluations, and settlement research funds awarded to new teachers have been revamped and increased. Newly appointed researchers can receive up to KRW 100 million if they are engaged in science and engineering, and up to KRW 50 million in humanities and social sciences. The period from the funding grant to submission of related outcomes has also been increased from three years to four, reflecting the university’s desire to help young, strong researchers devote themselves more to more challenging research goals. Financing research for postdoctoral researchers and actively inviting outstanding researchers through participation in overseas academic conferences are also another dimension of the school’s efforts to strengthen its research capabilities.The commitment of talented researchers and support from the university have boosted the school’s revenue from technology transfers to KRW 3.35 billion. This is the 7th largest for universities in Korea. Earnings from technology transfers amount to more than simply major financial outcomes of university and industry cooperation—they are also an indicator of the school’s research abilities. Ajou University has recorded year-on-year growth for five consecutive years in terms of the volume of technology transferred. Technology transfer revenue refers to the amount received by the university from companies seeking to utilize the research and development outcomes of researchers at the university to acquire related intellectual property rights.THE has announced the Young University Rankings since 2010, basing them on educational conditions (30%), research performance (30%), paper citations (30%), globalization (7.5%), and university-industry cooperation (2.5%). In this year’s Young University Rankings, PSL Research University in Paris topped the global ranking while Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Erasmus University Rotterdam, and Hong Kong Polytech University also scored very highly.

Choi Kee-choo, a professor in the Department of Transportation Systems Engineering at Ajou University, has been inaugurated as the university’s 17th President. The inauguration ceremony was held at Ajou’s Yeonam Hall on January 7, 2022 at 10:00 AM.Kwon Soon-jung, head of General Affairs, and announcer[KHTC1] Ha Ji-young served as masters of ceremony. Starting with an address by Daewoo Educational Foundation Chairman of the Board Choo Ho-suk, the ceremony proceeded with an introduction of the new president (by Han Ho, head of Academic Affairs), an inauguration speech by the new president, congratulatory addresses by distinguished guests from the university and from outside it, and singing of the school song (Park Sun-young, soprano).The ceremony was attended by members of the Ajou University community, representing its students and faculty, Chairman Choo, Standing Director Kim Sun-yong, and other related staff from the Daewoo Educational Foundation, as well as distinguished guests from academia, politics, and industry. Given the COVID-19 situation, the ceremony was also streamed live via Ajou University’s YouTube channel.In his address, Chairman Choo said, “In the almost 50 years since its foundation, Ajou University has achieved continuous growth, strengthening its position as a prestigious private institution.” He added, “This feat is because of the passion and devotion of every member of the Ajou family.”“The world is changing so quickly that if we don’t walk today, we will have to run tomorrow. We can no longer do things alone but need to work together with others,” continuing, “I hope 2022 will go down as the year we began building the foundation for new growth and advancement under the leadership of our new president and the commitment of all members of the university community. We ask for your warm encouragement and support for the new president, on whose shoulders lies this colossal task.”Congratulatory addresses were presented by Park Kwang-on (the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea member, Suwon 4th district), Chairman of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea Land, Infrastructure, and Transport Committee Lee Hun-seung, Vice Chairman for the Ruling Party Cho Eung-cheon, Suwon City Mayor Yeom Tae-young, Kyungpook National University President Hong Won-hwa, Chairman of the Metropolitan Transport Commission Baek Seung-geun, and President of the Ajou University Alumni Association Choi Joong-won[KHTC2]. Congratulatory video messages were also delivered from Ajou University President Choi’s students who have advanced into academia at home and abroad. In his inauguration address, President Choi remarked, “As an expert in the transportation field who has paved the way for roads, railroads, skyways, and waterways throughout his life, I intend to spend the rest of my tenure blazing the path forward for Ajou University.” He added, “We will build a path for the University’s next 100 years upon the history of its past 50 years.”The new president asked three questions before revealing the direction forward and future plans. First, are we doing our best to build the foundation for future Ajou University students over the next 50 years? Second, are we sufficiently maximizing our potential? Third, are we sufficiently developing our founding philosophy?He continued his address by highlighting “convergence,” “connection,” “innovation,” “culture,” and other keywords, revealing his ambitions to set up a convergence education program, strengthen platform education, vitalize convergence research between departments, attract large-scale convergence research projects, expand connection with local, regional, and specialized universities and colleges, establish a specialized research center, improve infrastructure for the school and outside of it, bring innovation to the organizational culture, and construct cultural assets, among others.Near the end of his speech, he showed a video of how passengers worked together to save a person who had fallen between a subway train and platform. He emphasized the power of “togetherness” through “The Rule of Three”: As long as there are three people - one to propose pushing the train and two people to follow that person’s orders - the situation can be turned around in a second.He advised students, “Dream big, imagine big, and don’t be afraid of failure.”President Choi graduated from the Department of Civil Engineering (Urban Engineering) at Seoul National University, received a master's degree in transportation engineering from the same school, and acquired a doctorate in transportation planning from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign [KHTC3]in the United States. Before becoming a professor in the Department of Transportation Systems Engineering at Ajou University in 1994, he worked as a senior researcher in the Urban Transportation Research Department at The Seoul Institute from 1992.[KHTC4]President Choi has been using his expertise in transportation engineering to engage actively in education and research as well as advising various institutions and local governments. He served as finance project evaluation member for the Ministry of Economy and Finance, member of the Central Urban Planning Committee[KHTC5] for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, chairman of the Bus Industry Development Council [KHTC6]for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, chairman of the Korean Committee of the WRA (World Road Association), and president of the Korean Society of Transportation. In 2019, he served as the first chairman (deputy minister level) of the Metropolitan Transport Commission for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, helping to lay the foundation for the committee’s organization.The new president’s term of office will be for the four years of February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2026. <Academic procession to the inauguration ceremony> <Address by Daewoo Educational Foundation Chairman of the Board Choo Ho-suk > <Ajou University’s New President Choi Kee-choo revealing his plans and ambitions through his inauguration address> < Congratulatory Addresses: (From top left) National Assembly of the Republic of Korea Member Park Kwang-on, Suwon City Mayor Yeom Tae-young, National Assembly of the Republic of Korea Members Lee Hun-seung and Cho Eung-cheon >< Congratulatory Addresses: (Top photo) Ajou University Alumni Association President Choi Joong-won[KHTC1] (Bottom left) Kyungpook National University President Hong Won-hwa and Metropolitan Transport Commission Chairman Baek Seung-geun >

A research team from Ajou University’s Polymer Biomaterials Laboratory exhibited their research outcomes at the 2021 Korea Science & Technology Fair.Occurring December 22—24, 2021 at KINTEX, the Fair comprised an exhibition and forum on the latest developments in science and technology, including in the fields of quantum technology, future defense, AI semiconductors, space, and advanced materials.The research team’s exhibit at the Fair was entitled, “Development of a multifunctional cardio conduit and monitoring system”[KHTC1] conducted in the Polymer Biomaterials Lab, headed by Professor Park Ki-dong (Department of Applied Chemistry and Biological Engineering, Graduate School Department of Molecular Science and Technology). The exhibit was presented and explained by Lee Si-min and Oh Dong-hwan[KHTC2], Ph.D. students in the Department of Molecular Science and Technology, who conducted the research.The incidence of cardiovascular disease among adults is increasing rapidly due to more countries becoming aged and aging societies and changes in diet and living environment. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death worldwide, directly or indirectly responsible for 31% of deaths around the globe. As a result, cardiovascular medical devices account for about 30% of the overall medical device market.The research team collaborated with a number of organizations to develop the first cardio conduit to monitor cardiac function in Korea, a nation currently dependent on imports. In order to control the side effects of thrombus and bacteria during long-term insertion into the body, a cardio conduit developed with antibacterial/antithrombotic properties applies the proprietary medical device surface immobilization technology of the Polymer Biomaterials Lab.In the course of its development, the Polymer Biomaterials Lab obtained a number of papers and patents and completed clinical trials, developing two prototypes and four technology transfers.Led by Professor Park Ki-dong, the Polymer Biomaterials Laboratory is developing functional biomaterials for the treatment of a variety of diseases, with research funded by the National Research Foundation of Korea.

Ajou University President Park Hyung-ju attended the “Presentation on General Outline of the 2022 Revised Curriculum.”Hosted by the Ministry of Education on November 24, 2021, this event was attended not only by Ajou University President Park but also by Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Yoo Eun-hae and other dignitaries.President Park delivered a presentation entitled, “Progress on Revision of the Curriculum and Major Challenges.” Appointed as Chairman of the Committee on Revision of the National Curriculum by the Ministry of Education in April, President Park has since held 13 meetings on the direction of and challenges in a revision of the curriculum.During the presentation, he talked about the opinions that had been gathered through various channels to come up with an amendment and comprehensive discussions on and review of related research results, and how intense discussion occurred within the Committee on the questions, “Is it a sustainable alternative that can support the lives and growth of our children in the future?” and “Is it is an unbiased alternative that is balanced and reasonable?”During the Q&A session with reporters, a question was asked regarding how deficiencies could be prevented in basic academic skills as a result of a reduction in the amount of learning. President Park began answering by explaining that designing a curriculum is similar to designing a four-story building with common courses, general elective courses, career-related elective courses, and convergence elective courses for each floor, from bottom to top. Therefore, if there is too much time spent in the common and general elective courses, students will burn out before taking courses in the higher floors—the career-related and convergence elective courses. “It is important to keep students from becoming fatigued through the use of a suitable amount of study on the 1st and 2nd floors. […] The high school credit system should go together with class diversity as well as a diversity of levels.” He added, “It is important to find ways to encourage students to move on to the third and fourth floors. […] The university entrance exam system should be designed so students intensively studying, through elective courses in their area of interest, will be advantaged rather than disadvantaged.”The 2022 revised curriculum will be finalized and announced around November 2022 and will reflect major issues announced during this “Presentation on General Outline of the 2022 Revised Curriculum.” The revised curriculum will be applied to elementary first and second graders in 2024 and first graders of middle and high schools in 2025.

Ajou University has hosted a forum on the theme of student success. Internal experts from the university were joined by external experts in a hybrid format to deliver presentations and share cases of innovation in education and results.The “Forum to Disseminate Achievements of the University Innovation Support Program – Education Innovation for Student Success” was held at Ajou’s Yeonam Hall on December 10, 2021, and broadcast live via Ajou University Center for University Education Innovation’s YouTube channel. The forum consisted of two sessions and began with an opening address by Chang Woo-jin, Director of the Center for University Education Innovation, and encouraging words by Ajou University’s President Park Hyungju.The first session commenced with a keynote lecture by Bae Sang-hoon, Sungkyunkwan University Dean of Student Affairs and Chief of Student Success Center, and was entitled, “Vision for Student Success and Its Implementation: Achievements of the Past Three Years and Future Challenges.” Dean Bae emphasized that education, talented human resources, and student success were the core mission and zeitgeist of universities. He introduced the Student Success Center launched by Sungkyunkwan University and delivered a presentation on the achievements of various projects carried out by the Center and the challenges that lay ahead.This was followed by a presentation by Professor Choi Jung-hee of Dankook University’s Education Center for Academic Performance Evaluation on the theme, “Application and Achievements of CQI (Continuous Quality Improvement) for Ability-centered University Education,” in which she elaborated on such innovation using the keyword “skills.” In other words, universities need to become more competitive by ensuring the education they offer reflects their capacities, as well as those of their professors and students. Professor Choi introduced the application, and achievements of a system using feedback to connect professors and learning developed to continuously improve university lectures and the CQI system.The second session was a presentation on the attempts and achievements of Ajou University to innovate education. Ajou University Center for Teaching and Learning Director Shin Jong-ho delivered a presentation on “Data Utilizing Education and Support System Assisting Student Success in Learning.”Director Shin provided information on “ATLAS” (the Ajou Teaching & Learning Analytics System), a data utilizing teaching and learning support system developed and adopted by Ajou University in 2014. The school has since analyzed data on learners and learning environments and supported the optimization of learning programs and environments. Director Shin also introduced “PASS” (Pathway to Ajou Student Success) which offers data utilizing curricular and extracurricular learning pathways tailored to the attributes students need. In addition, the session offered information on the AI-based adaptive learning platform recently developed and researched by Ajou University, known as “ALEKS.” The Aju University has gone on to develop this global platform further to support learning designed for individual students.“There is a meaningful correlation between lessons utilizing the AI platform and academic achievement,” said Director Shin. “Subjects that facilitate greater interaction in lessons using this system had a higher correlation index with academic achievement.”He added that thorough preparation and implementation by instructors and practical support from and the establishment of goals and vision on the utilization of AI by the university, as well as cooperation between the university and its departments, among other things, were vital to tailoring the speed and level of education for each student and to expand interaction in a course designed around individualized learning.This was followed by a lecture entitled, “A Model for High-intensity Interaction-centered General Education and Cases of Its Operation[KHTC6]” by Professor Ahn Ji-youn from Dasan University College, and a presentation by Han Gwang-hee, a student in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, on participating in the University Innovation Support Program.
