- 25.12.05 / 전윤실
The ‘2025 2nd Global Coexistence Joint Academic Festival’, hosted by Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul)'s HUSS Global Coexistence Project Team, was successfully held on Friday, November 28th at the College of Business Administration. This academic festival was organized under the main theme of ‘Designing New Social Systems for Global Coexistence and a Sustainable Society,’ serving as a platform where students from diverse academic backgrounds competed with creative ideas to solve social problems.
The core purpose of the festival is to strengthen global Coexistence capabilities by having students from various majors collaborate to plan and present actionable solutions to social problems from a multidisciplinary perspective, addressing complex global issues that threaten a sustainable future.
Judging was conducted by professors from Kookmin University's Global Coexistence Project Team based on five criteria: ▲ relevance to the theme ▲ creativity and originality ▲ depth ▲ feasibility ▲ presentation skills. Each team was evaluated through a 10-minute presentation and a 5-minute Q&A session.

A total of 10 teams (37 participants) competed in the finals. The Grand Prize was awarded to the ‘Malsuni’ team (Choi Min Jeong and 3 others) for proposing ‘MALSUNI’, an elderly-friendly smart mobility IoT system. The Best Excellence Award went to the ‘Bungle’ team (Park Chae Ryeon and 1 other) for proposing the caregiving assistance badge ‘Singre’. The Excellence Awards were selected for the ‘Separate Water GO!’ team (Nam Kyung In and 3 others) and the ‘(C)ITY DIVERS’ team (Park Yi Jin and 3 others).
Professor Lee Hyung Jin (KMU International Business School), who oversaw the academic festival, stated, “The process itself, where students directly explore social issues and derive creative solutions, is a crucial educational experience.” He added, “Going forward, the Global Coexistence Project Team will expand student-led research and activities in the fields of sustainability and Coexistence.”
Meanwhile, the HUSS Global Coexistence Consortium, operating through collaboration between Kwangwoon University, Kookmin University, Sunmoon University, Yeungnam University, and Honam University, is receiving a total of 9 billion won in support over three years starting in 2024 from the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea. The consortium contributes to global coexistence by aiming to cultivate 2,500 core convergence talents equipped with sustainable resource responsiveness, sustainable industry understanding, and sustainable international society inclusiveness.
