SKKU has been designated as one of the Campus Towns in Seoul. This project has been driven by Seoul to promote communities near campuses. Seoul has designated neighborhoods near 13 universities as campus towns on 20th December 2016 and has supported start-up consulting services and local communities, spending up to 3 billion won.
Futhermore, Seoul will fund 600 million to 3 billion won on this project for 3 years down the road.
“Campus Towns” is a new growth model and designed to revitalize both 52 campus communities and their local neighborhoods by providing public support.
Seoul examined universities for 2 months and it selected SKKU for the project. For SKKU, grants will be given to youth startups and arts platform projects. This project is going to start next year after careful examination.
