Daejeon Technopark (Daejeon TP) has begun a full-scale transition to the Anchor system, a regional growth talent development framework aimed at cultivating locally rooted talent.
Daejeon TP held a meeting on the 17th at D-Station, attended by Daejeon City officials and heads of RISE project teams from 13 local universities, to share the Ministry of Education's Anchor initiative direction and project restructuring plans.
As the existing RISE project is being redesigned into an Anchor system that drives regional settlement and talent development, Daejeon TP detailed a Daejeon-style implementation strategy aligned with government policy.
Based on Ministry of Education guidelines, Daejeon TP explained the direction of the system transition and presented plans for operating shared universities and mega-regional talent development strategies in response to the 5 Mega-Regions and 3 Special Zones framework and the mega-regional system. The organization also announced plans to enhance its performance management system and strengthen student growth-centered operations based on "selection and concentration."
Participating universities recommended flexible application of indicators that consider each university's characteristics and conditions, reduction of administrative burdens, and continued financial support to expand corporate participation.
"We will actively reflect the opinions presented in the field in future basic plans and performance evaluation systems," said Kim Woo-yeon, president of Daejeon TP. "We will work closely with local universities to further enhance the Daejeon-style talent development ecosystem."
