HITS Expands Indo-Korean Ties with MoU Renewal with South Korea's GCU

Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science (HITS) has strengthened its international ties by signing a renewed and extended MoU with the Global Cyber University (GCU) of South Korea. The signing ceremony took place recently, at the prestigious Apgujeong Seoul Learning Centre. While the original collaboration focused on credit exchange for "Brain Education Meditation" courses, the new three-year agreement encompasses broader cultural exchanges and the establishment of a global brain education centre in India.

The agreement, signed by Gong Byeong-yeong, GCU President and Anand Jacob Verghese, HITS Chancellor, builds upon a successful partnership initiated in December 2020, marking a significant milestone in Indo-Korean educational collaboration. 

This enhanced partnership comes at a crucial time when K-culture's popularity is surging in India. The collaboration has already demonstrated its strength through various initiatives, including joint international conferences addressing future education during the COVID-19 pandemic and humanitarian support during India's second wave of COVID-19 in 2021.

The HITS delegation also visited the K-pop promotion centre 'POP-KON' and the historic Ilchi Art Hall, famous for hosting BTS' debut showcase, highlighting the cultural dimension of this partnership. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in international academic partnerships and cultural exchange between India and South Korea.
