Kookmin University has partnered with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) to launch a doctoral fellowship program aimed at training Palestinian researchers in artificial intelligence (AI).
The university said Monday that the doctoral program is a key component of the talent development efforts under a KOICA project designed to strengthen Palestine’s research and development (R&D) capabilities in innovative technologies for digital transformation.
The university-affiliated Industry-Academia Cooperation Foundation and Global Development Cooperation Institute will work with KOICA to train researchers capable of addressing challenges facing Palestine and help them lead local R&D and industrial innovation.
Thirty promising Palestinian candidates will be recruited for the long-term fellowship program, which supports their doctoral studies and AI research in Korea.
