As part of Samhyo Group's corporate social responsibility initiatives, the Jung In-wook Academic Scholarship Foundation has donated over 5 million won to the Department of Forestry and Environmental Systems at Kookmin University, aligning its efforts with the university's goal of cultivating specialized talent in forest spatial information to address the challenges of the AI and digital transformation era. The funds will be specifically allocated to securing educational equipment aimed at enhancing capabilities in spatial information-based data analysis and AI technology utilization.

The Forestry and Environmental Systems Department is cultivating interdisciplinary talent capable of addressing the evolving challenges of forestry and environmental issues, including carbon sink experts, forest disaster experts, ecological environmental information analysts, and field-oriented green public officials. Recently, the department has expanded its education and practical training utilizing digital technologies such as GIS, remote sensing, and AI-based spatial data modeling. The foundation's support is expected to significantly contribute to the establishment of advanced educational infrastructure, including data-driven decision-making tools, spatial analysis tools, and mapping software licenses.

Professor Kang Wan-mo, Head of the Forest Environment Systems Department, expressed gratitude, stating, “Thanks to the support from the Jung In-wook Academic Scholarship Foundation, students now have the foundation to grow into future forestry experts equipped with practical skills centered on AI and spatial information technology.” He added, “We will continue to cultivate forestry talent with spatial thinking and digital analysis capabilities to proactively respond to the rapidly changing forest environment and industrial transformations.”
