The University of the Visayas (UV), led by President Conrado E. Iñigo, Jr., and Tongmyong University of Busan, South Korea, represented by President Dr. Sang Chun Lee, formalized their partnership through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed during the WURI Global Conference on September 25, 2025, to promote academic collaboration and global learning opportunities.
The MOU supports Korea’s RISE (Regional Innovation System for Education) program under the Ministry of Education, focusing on student and faculty exchange, joint academic and RISE projects, and language education and training. This agreement reflects both institutions’ shared vision of international cooperation and innovation in higher education.
Through this partnership, UV continues to expand its global network, enhancing the educational experience of Visayanians while strengthening research, cultural understanding, and cross-border collaboration.
Padayon, Visayanians!
