The Energy New Industry Innovation Convergence College Project Group at Kyungnam College of Information & Technology recently conducted the Energy Up! KIT-FIT (Field Innovation Trip and Training) overseas field exploration program in Taipei, Taiwan.

This four-day, three-night program was designed to enhance global understanding of the energy industry and strengthen practical skills. It is a hands-on international education course that allows participants to directly experience global trends and new technologies in the future energy industry. A total of 23 students majoring in related fields and faculty members from four consortium universities-Kyungnam College of Information & Technology, Korea University, Kangwon National University, and Pusan National University-participated in the program.

Delegation from four universities specializing in new energy industries visiting the Taiwan Energy Exhibition.

The participating students visited the 'Energy Taiwan & Net-Zero Taiwan 2025' exhibition, where they experienced the latest renewable energy technologies such as solar modules, offshore wind power, and smart energy storage systems. They also attended special lectures on carbon neutrality and energy transition policies at the Net-Zero Center of Academia Sinica, Taiwan, and toured the research facilities.

In addition, they visited Agrace Fuel Cell Technology Co. to observe the design and manufacturing processes of hydrogen fuel cell stacks and generator systems, and explored the industrial applicability of distributed hydrogen power supply technologies. The group also visited major cultural facilities such as the National Museum, broadening their international perspective.

The project group stated that this field trip provided students with the opportunity to directly experience the overseas energy new industry sector, thereby strengthening their global competencies and practical problem-solving skills.

Kim Bongsu, Director of the Energy New Industry Innovation Convergence College Project Group, said, "It was a meaningful experience for students to directly experience overseas energy research sites and international exhibitions through the KIT-FIT program. We will do our best to nurture professionals in the renewable energy sector with a global perspective."
