CNU's Graduate School and Research and Business Development Foundation hosted the 2025 Yongbong Academic Festival from Nov. 4 to 6 at Minjumaru and Yongji Hall. The event provided an opportunity for graduate students and early-career researchers to share their research findings and exchange ideas. This year’s festival featured more than 30 programs across diverse fields. It served as a convergence festival that showcased CNU’s research outcomes and the extension of their impact into industry, technology, and culture. Researchers, business professionals, students and members of the public participated in this event. Kim Sang-min (Freshman, School of Polymer Science and Engineering), one of the participants in this event, said, “Through the Yongbong Academic Festival, I was able to broaden my perspective by experiencing academic activities in diverse fields. It was a meaningful experience that allowed me to take a step forward toward becoming a well-rounded and convergent talent.”
