Background

Vitalization of Industry-Academia-Research Cooperation

To discover new growth drivers with the enhancement of industry-academia-research cooperation,
thereby enhancing national competitiveness and vitalizing the knowledge-based economy, the government allows
the establishment of the “Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation” (IACF) as the governing body exclusively
responsible for the university to systematically manage and support industry-academic cooperation,
covering research-based development, technology transfer, and start-ups.

Accordingly, the “IACF Accounting Rules (2003)” was enacted to prepare the basis for the establishment and operation of IACF.
As stipulated in the “Budget Planning and Financial Operations for IACF (2004)”, government grants should be controlled by IACF.

Seoul Venture University established its IACF as the legal entity to activate industry-academic joint research
and commercialize research outcomes. In addition to the existing strategy of developing the university with its academic reputation,
we, as a research-oriented university, intend to increase SVU’s share in contributing to national competitiveness
through the vitalization of industry-academic cooperation.

Character

  • University subdivision under the direction and supervision of the university president
  • Responsible for management of all IA cooperation and R&D support projects as the special cooperation
  • Signing and executing contracts related to all IA cooperation and R&D support projects
  • Having a legal status as the subject of contract as the (special) legal entity

Goals

Under the “Industrial Education Enhancement Act and Industry-Academia-Research Cooperation Promotion Act”, SVU IACF aims to supervise and control various IAC projects such as government grant management, fundraising, winning project orders and research cooperation with companies; to share the knowledge related to basic research and development that we have accumulated for a long period of time and the experience of developing various technologies with industries; and to build an industry-academia-research network in cooperation with the central and local governments.
