On September 29, Gyeonggi Province signed a multilateral memorandum of understanding (MOU) with seven universities—including Gachon University, Kangnam University, Kyonggi University, Kyung Hee University, Daejin University, Myongji University, and Ajou University—to promote the "Off-Campus (Public Campus)" initiative.

The "Off-Campus" project connects public resources of Gyeonggi Provincial Library with the educational and research capabilities of universities, aiming to resolve issues faced by the local community and the library together with local residents. It is a collaborative public laboratory (Living Lab) jointly operated by universities and the Gyeonggi Provincial Library.

Under the agreement, each university will identify local and library issues relevant to their curricula and develop a "problem-solving library model" with Gyeonggi Province that ties these issues to learning and research assignments. Outstanding outcomes will be reflected in actual library operations and policy.

Ha Jongmok, First Vice Governor of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "This agreement will serve as a turning point where universities' outstanding intellectual assets and educational achievements permeate the lives of residents through the public space provided by the Gyeonggi Provincial Library. As a hub that discusses and addresses diverse local issues and as an open public Living Lab, we will successfully lead the 'Off-Campus' project."
