Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung-ryul) will hold a “Quantum Campus Proclamation Ceremony” on Wednesday, July 9, at the Academic Conference Hall on the first floor of the Main Building. This event was planned to present Kookmin University's future vision of becoming a quantum technology hub through cooperation between the government, industry, and academia by establishing a quantum campus to become the first university in Korea to leap forward as a future hub in the field of quantum technology.

Quantum technology is a next-generation core technology that will bring innovation to various fields such as new drug development, bio technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and information security. It has the potential to quickly solve problems that would take a long time or be difficult to solve using existing computing methods, and is attracting attention as a new paradigm in science and technology.

This declaration ceremony is expected to mark the start of a platform campus that connects research, education, and commercialization of quantum technology in Korea, based on Kookmin University's competitive strengths in cutting-edge fields such as information security, AI, next-generation communications, and future automobiles. In addition, leading domestic and international quantum-related companies such as IBM, IQM, AWS, and Orientum are scheduled to participate in the event to share their vision for cooperation, drawing considerable attention from the industry.

The event will begin with the announcement of Kookmin University's quantum campus vision, followed by demonstrations of quantum security technology and lectures by domestic and international experts. Notably, in addition to representatives from global quantum technology companies, government and parliamentary officials, including Choi Min-hee, Chair of the National Assembly's Science and Technology, Information and Broadcasting Committee (Democratic Party, Namyangju City, Gyeonggi Province), Roh Jong-myun, Member of the National Assembly (Democratic Party, Bupyeong District, Incheon), and Min Hyung-bae, Member of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee (Democratic Party, Gwangju City), are scheduled to attend and deliver speeches, discussing efforts to establish a domestic quantum technology ecosystem.

Kookmin University President Jeong Seung-ryul said, “Quantum technology is not just advanced research, but a key area that will determine national competitiveness in the future. With this declaration ceremony, Kookmin University will become a global quantum campus that builds a convergence ecosystem based on quantum technology through collaboration with the government, academia, local communities, and industry.”

A representative from Kookmin University said, “We have a mid- to long-term plan to complete a platform equipped with quantum computing demonstration infrastructure alongside security technology and expand it domestically and internationally. We will progressively realize this through specialized quantum-related education programs, global industry-academia projects, and the expansion of demonstration research spaces within the campus.”
