“Research Competitiveness = CBNU” - This is a statement that will now become synonymous with our university.
The Ministry of Education recently gathered data from the Center for Higher Education Information Disclosure and published their findings in “total research funds” and “research fund per faculty member.” CBNU came out on top among regional universities for both categories.
Our university also surpassed numerous distinguished universities in the capital area and other regional core universities to finish 8th nationally in research funding, validating our status as one of the strongest research universities in the nation.
According to information published by the Higher Education Information in Korea (heik.academyinfo.go.kr), our university accumulated approximately 117.5 billion won in research funds and outshined schools like Pusan National University, Kyungpook National University and Chonnam National University.
In the category of research fund granted per faculty member, our university’s 1,016 professors were provided on average of 15.64 million won per person, which, once again, was 1st among universities in the region.
Our university was also first among the regional core universities to surpass 100 billion won in research contracts and this year, research grants increased by 20 billion won from last year, demonstrating the avid research activity of our university professors.
Even with universities located in bigger economies like Daegu (Gyeongsangbuk-Do), Daejeon (Chungcheongnam-Do) and Gwangju (Jeollanam-Do), our university surpassed all other regional core universities by a large margin and lived up to its reputable track record in research.
After CBNU became first to surpass 100 billion won in research funds, our university has been frequently acknowledged for its research program strength. This is attributable to a combination of tireless efforts to increase research competitiveness by our university staff, the equally diligent dedication of professors, and the thorough communication between members of our university.
Since President Geo-Suk Suh’s appointment in 2006, our university implemented a strategic plan to increase university competitiveness through research competitiveness. Our school’s research programs have received full-fledged support ever since.
Our university expanded its research support system through the years. Requirement for job advancement have become twice as much meticulous, but professors now receive 100 million won if any of their research papers are published in one of the “Big Three” academic Journals (Science, Nature, Cells). Professors conducting research are also given some relief from teaching classes and assigned with student research assistants to provide help in their research.
Starting in 2007, our university has also been active in promoting research activity and providing a research environment that is suitable even for outside institutions and corporations
President Suh said, “We faced some challenges in the beginning, but with our staff’s positive attitude and our professors’ ardent efforts we have been able to enjoy great accolades from our research programs. We will continue to work harder so that the term ‘research competitiveness’ becomes synonymous with CBNU.”
