It aims to return the university’s capabilities to Seoul and its community, advancing as a global innovation university through AI research, global talent development, education innovation, and local problem-solving.
Selection of Hanyang RISE Unit Projects and Linkage to the Seoul RISE Project
- Selection Basis
Based on the Seoul RISE Master Plan and Hanyang University’s mid- to long-term development strategy, three strategic goals and twelve initiatives were identified by organically connecting the university’s global, education, research, startup, and industry-academia collaboration strengths. Through stakeholder consultations with internal and external members, local governments, and industries, eight CAI (Connect-Act-Innovation) based Seoul RISE unit projects were selected to drive tangible outcomes. - Hanyang’s Strength
A sustainable innovation platform unique to Hanyang University, differentiated from other universities in Seoul.
Project Implementation Structure
■ Dedicated Organization
Under the direct supervision of the Director, Hanyang University Institute for RISE and the RISE Team (established in September 2024) oversee the overall RISE Project. A system comprising the RISE Team, three Hub Centers, and eight offices has been established to strengthen each RISE Project.
■ Decision-Making Structure
To independently or collaboratively operate Hanyang RISE unit projects and to enable swift decision-making and strong partnerships with overseas universities and institutions, three committees and three subcommittees have been established.
