I hope to learn more about AI in medical image recognition at CNU.” Dean of External Relations Cho Jin-hyoung said in his welcome speech, “Gwangju is a city that symbolizes democracy, peace, and human rights. I hope your time becomes an opportunity to develop into global citizens and for personal growth beyond just academic achievement.
