[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Seoul Women’s University is conducting a public-private-academic cooperation social innovation project to improve the housing conditions of residents in vulnerable areas and create a community where people live together harmoniously.

On the 28th, Seoul Women’s University announced that it signed a business agreement for the public-private-academic cooperation social innovation project with Jeonju City in Jeollabuk-do, Jeonbuk National University, Habitat for Humanity Korea, and POSCO Construction. Representatives in charge attended the signing ceremony held online.

They united their intentions to carry out the ‘Public-Private-Academic Cooperation Community Social Innovation Project’ aimed at improving the quality of life for residents in urban vulnerable areas and fostering a community where people live together. Each institution will provide administrative and financial support as well as academic and technical advice.
