2025 Ewha-Harvard International Exchange Program Held
2025 Ewha-Harvard International Exchange Program Held The 2025 Ewha-HUAP (Harvard Undergraduates in Asia Program) Conference was successfully held under joint organization by students from Ewha Womans University and Harvard University in the United States, featuring a range of academic lectures and cultural exchange activities. The HUAP is an academic and cultural exchange program designed to build international networks and foster future Asian leaders by bringing together students from Harvard University and prestigious universities across eight Asian countries. HUAP conferences are held annually in two parts: the first, the Boston Conference, in which selected students from the Asian partner universities including Ewha visit Harvard; and the second, a series of conferences where Harvard students visit each of the partner universities in Asia. Ewha has been participating in the program since 2007 as Harvard’s first and only Korean partner university. The Seoul Conference, hosted by Ewha, is consistently regarded by Harvard students as the most rewarding experience of the program each year. Ten current students from Ewha attended the 2025 HUAP Boston Conference, held at Harvard University over seven days from January 19 (Sun.) to 25 (Sat.), 2025. HUAP conferences are characterized by student-led planning and operation of the entire program, typically consisting of both academic and cultural exchange components, including a range of academic lectures and cultural activities. Held under the theme of “Connected by Compassion: Bridging Cultures to Reimagine Tomorrow,” the 2025 conference welcomed students from seven Asian universities, including the University of Tokyo, the University of Hong Kong, and National Taiwan University. From March 15 (Sat.) to 22 (Sat.), 2025, students from Harvard University visited the Ewha campus to participate in the Ewha-HUAP Seoul Conference. Following the Boston Conference held in January, the Seoul Conference was organized under the overarching theme of “Connected by Compassion,” featuring a wide range of programs, including lectures, a mock investment competition, and cultural exchange activities centered on topics such as the Korean Peninsula, global crisis response, and startups. Through the academic exchange program with global leaders and experts, Ewha and Harvard students deepened their understanding of the division of the Korean Peninsula and explored pathways for international cooperation in response to global crises such as COVID-19 and environmental disasters. Building on these discussions, they further developed a global perspective on social issues and gained valuable insights into the importance of empathy and collaboration. In addition to the HUAP Conference, Ewha has been jointly operating the only Harvard-affiliated summer school program in Korea since 2006 and hosted the Harvard Model Congress Asia on its campus in 2023. Through these initiatives, the university has continued to strengthen its global network as a partner institution of Harvard.
Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital Selected as a First-term Certified Research-driven Hospital for 2025
Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital Selected as a First-term Certified Research-driven Hospital for 2025 Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital Selected as a First-term Certified Research-driven Hospital for 2025 Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital, affiliated with the College of Medicine, has been selected as a First-term Certified Research-driven Hospital for 2025 by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, as announced on Wednesday, March 26, 2025. The certification will remain valid for three years, until March 31, 2028. Introduced in 2013, the Research-driven Hospital program designates hospitals to lead research and development as well as technology commercialization based on their clinical expertise. Following a revision of the relevant law in July last year, the program was restructured from a “designation-based system” to a “certification-based system,” under which certification is granted only to hospitals with proven research capabilities. In the recent certification evaluation, Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital was recognized for its strong research capabilities, along with the following achievements: a global standard of research systems and personnel; sustainable research support governance; proven capacity to conduct translational and clinical research; competitiveness in specialized, priority research areas; and the establishment of an industry-academia-research-hospital network linked to M-Valley and G-Valley. As a result, Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital is now eligible to apply for the Research-driven Hospital R&D Project and expected to play a leading role at the center of the bio-health research ecosystem. Since 2021, Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital has laid the groundwork for its research-driven hospital certification by successfully securing a series of major national projects from the Ministry of Science and ICT, the National Research Foundation of Korea, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and the Korea Health Industry Development Institute. In 2022, the hospital was selected for the ER Bio Core Facility Establishment Project led by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Research Foundation of Korea. This was followed by its designation as the host institution for the UroGyn Efficacy Evaluation Center in 2023, the National Bio Integrated Big Data Establishment Project in 2024, and the Open Lab Operation Project in 2025, all sponsored by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Health Industry Development Institute. Based on these achievements, the hospital successfully obtained the research-driven hospital certification this year. Building on the outstanding capabilities of Ewha Womans University Medical Center, including the Mokdong Hospital, the university is committed to further strengthening its efforts to establish a world-class research environment, enhance its competitiveness, and realize the vision of “Ewha leading the era of great transformation through inclusive innovation.”
