Ewha College of Social Sciences Celebrates 30th Anniversary
Ewha College of Social Sciences Celebrates 30th Anniversary The Ewha College of Social Sciences marked its 30th anniversary on May 27 at Lee Sam-bong Hall in the Ewha Campus Complex, reflecting on its achievements in education and research over the past 30 years and sharing the social sciences’ future role and vision for leading society. The occasion was celebrated by over 225 guests, including Eun Mee Kim, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of Ewha Womans University; Ewha President Hyang-Sook Lee; Chung Young-ai, former Minister of Gender Equality and Family; Lee Yoon-hee, news anchor at KBS; faculty members, current students, and alumnae. Since its launch in 1996, the College of Social Sciences has operated eight departments, one division, four graduate programs, and five interdisciplinary majors, dedicating itself to convergence education and research with the goal of training capable minds who can navigate societal changes. In her commemorative remarks, Dean Eun-Young Chah noted that the College of Social Sciences dates back to the 1940s and affirmed that the college will continue to nurture promising intellects as it builds upon its 30-year mission of convergence education designed to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of humanity and society. President Hyang-Sook Lee weighed in on the growing importance of the social sciences in the era of great transformation, characterized by AI, the digital transformation, the climate crisis, and polarization in society, expressing her expectation that the College of Social Sciences will serve as a hub for promoting a human-centered future and inclusive innovation. Chung Young-ai, former Minister of Gender Equality and Family, and alumnae representatives delivered commemorative remarks afterward, which were followed by the screening of a well-received 30th anniversary video produced by DAQ, a student club from the Division of Communication & Media. In the second session, Se-ung Kim, Vice President of AI Communications and AI Synergy at Kakao, delivered a special lecture about ideal talent in the age of AI, emphasizing that problem-defining skills, outcome-oriented AI proficiency, and domain expertise are the key competencies for future competitiveness. The event served as an opportunity for the College of Social Sciences to further expand its commitment to nurturing the convergence talent needed to navigate future societal changes and to promoting innovative research going forward.
Ewha Chosen for Institutional Recruitment Program under Brain Pool+ Project
Ewha Chosen for Institutional Recruitment Program under Brain Pool+ Project Ewha Womans University was selected for the Institutional Recruitment Program under the Brain Pool+ Program organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Research Foundation of Korea, laying the groundwork for establishing a global hub for innovative bio-quantum convergence research. The Institutional Recruitment Program, newly introduced this year, only selects about five institutional fellows across the nation. The university will receive a grant of KRW 13.5 billion in total funding over the next four and a half years, from this July to the end of 2030, to launch full-fledged transdisciplinary convergence research and global collaborative research projects. Significantly, Ewha will leverage its institutional capacities by establishing a university-wide system that places its major departments under the President’s leadership as principal investigator. Ewha has established a convergence research platform centering on the four strategic fields of pharmaceutical sciences, brain and cognitive sciences, chemistry and nanoscience, and physics (quantum science) that will be joined by Distinguished Professor Lyoo In Kyoon, Professor Sang Beom Jun, Professor Yu Jinha, Professor Hwang Inah, Professor So-Jung Park, Professor Saehyun Choi, Professor Seokhyun Yoon, Professor Dong-Wook Kim, and others. The university plans to recruit world-class international scholars for research collaboration that is expected to be a milestone in Ewha’s drive to become a global hub for innovative bio-quantum convergence research. Ewha has attracted outstanding international researchers through initiatives such as the Ewha Frontier 10-10 Project and Ewha Global Excellence Program, launched in 2022 and 2025 respectively, under which 31 convergence and interdisciplinary research groups have been created and 32 scholars and researchers have joined collaborative research projects to date. Thus far, Ewha has been selected for 16 Brain Pool projects, enhancing its capacity for attracting international talent. Following the completion of the project, Ewha will establish the Ewha Bio-Quantum Convergence Center (tentative name) to build a financially independent research ecosystem by securing large-scale global research projects with institutions such as Horizon Europe and the National Institutes of Health in the United States and creating a startup ecosystem based on original technologies. Ewha will strengthen its leadership in bio-quantum research based on its world-class research infrastructure, including the IBS Center for Quantum Nanoscience, Ewha Brain Institute, and Ewha Biomedical-Healthcare Cluster.
