- Daesoon Academy of Sciences Donates Scholarship Fund to Jeongeup Citizen Scholarship Foundation
On July 8, Daesoon Academy of Sciences at Daejin University donated 10 million KRW in scholarship funds to the Jeongeup Citizen Scholarship Foundation at Jeongeup City Hall. The Academy has consistently highlighted the region's spiritual and cultural heritage, such as holding a copper plaque unveiling ceremony last year to commemorate the designation of the birthplace of Jeungsan Sangjenim as a religious cultural heritage of Jeonbuk State. This donation expands that academic and cultural interest into practical action by fostering local talent, reflecting the Academy's intent to grow alongside the local community. Bae Gyu-han, Director of the Academy, expressed his hope that this scholarship, as a practice of Haewon Sangsaeng (resolution of grievances for mutual beneficence), would serve as a small contribution to helping young talents in Jeongeup focus on their studies and pursue their dreams without financial burden. The Jeongeup Citizen Scholarship Foundation expressed deep gratitude for the Academy's sincerity through a certificate of donation, stating that the funds would be used preciously to foster talent for the development of the Jeongeup region.

- Expanding the Outer Horizons of Daesoon Thought Studies: From Religious Reflections in the AI Era to the Globalization of Jeon-gyeong (the Canonical Scripture)
The Summer Academic Conference 2026 of the Daesoon Thought Research Institute was held on Friday, July 10, in a hybrid online and offline format at the International Conference Room of Daejin Education Hall at Daejin University. Prominent scholars in religious studies, including Professors Ryu Seong-min (Hanshin Univ.), Choi Jong-seong (Seoul National Univ.), Lee Jin-goo (Korea Institute for Religion and Culture), and Yun Yong-bok (Asia Religious Institute), chaired each session. Researchers from across the nation attended to exchange presentations and critiques, engaging in heated academic dialogues. In-depth interdisciplinary papers were presented, including "Power Hegemony Competition and Haewon Sangsaeng (Resolution of Grievances for Mutual Beneficence): Re-illuminating Daesoon Thought in the AI Era" (Prof. Kim Jin-young, Hankuk Univ. of Foreign Studies), "French Translation of Jeon-gyeong (the Canonical Scripture) for the Globalization of Daesoon Jinrihoe" (Prof. Na Jeong-won, Kangwon National Univ.), and "From 'Mud-Plastered Walls' to Artificial Intelligence: Religion-like Phenomena in the Digital Era Viewed Through Daesoon Jinrihoe's Pan-Spiritualism (萬物神+在論)" (Prof. Cha Seon-keun, Daejin Univ.). Discussions actively expanded the outer horizons of Daesoon Thought and multidisciplinary convergence research, ranging from the role of religion in artificial intelligence civilization to the globalization of Jeon-gyeong (the Canonical Scripture), Yihak (I Ching studies) and cultivation theory, and Korean religious history. Additionally, topics linked with social practice drew attention, such as research on Jeju 4·3 rituals and educational curriculum proposals for training 'religious conflict reconciliation experts.' In the closing remarks, the Director of the Institute emphasized that "In an era when artificial intelligence reshapes and changes human life, it is more essential than ever to academically elucidate the values of healing and reconciliation inherent in the teachings of Haewon Sangsaeng." He expressed expectation that "today's achievements will broaden the horizons of Daesoon Thought research and convergent academic research, leading to an intellectual asset that reflects upon the conflicts faced by our society."

- Daejin University Selected as Operating University for '2026 Youth Leap Talent Fostering Bootcamp'
Daejin University Selected for '2026 Youth Leap Talent Fostering Bootcamp' Sponsored by Ministry of Education and KIAT, Securing 700 Million KRW in Government Funding Daejin University was selected as an operating university for the "2026 Youth Leap Talent Fostering Bootcamp (hereinafter referred to as Bootcamp)," hosted by the Ministry of Education and the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT), securing 700 million KRW in government funding. The Bootcamp is a government-supported project that provides short-term intensive education and social advancement support to young adults outside the workforce through university-industry collaboration. The selected universities will focus on fostering practical talent based on "AI (Artificial Intelligence) and AX (AI Transformation)" for one year and six months. Daejin University plans to nurture practical talent through AX-based practical education, projects, field training, and employment linkage. The Bootcamp project offers two tracks: the "Advanced Talent Type" and the "Practical Talent Type." Daejin University belongs to the Practical Talent Type, supporting Daejin University graduates and discharged non-commissioned officers from local military units. Additionally, the project includes the construction of an advanced smart practice facility worth approximately 200 million KRW. The practice facility will not only be utilized for Bootcamp operations but also serve as an AI and AX education infrastructure for current students in the future, providing a foundation to enhance the university's educational competitiveness. As such, the selection for this project is expected to serve as an opportunity to advance Daejin University's future educational environment to the next level. In particular, considering that only four universities in the metropolitan area were selected for this project, Daejin University's selection as an operating university can be evaluated as a meaningful achievement beyond a simple project award, demonstrating external recognition of its educational competitiveness and project execution capabilities. Furthermore, when selecting operating universities for university financial support projects, the government comprehensively evaluates educational capabilities, project execution abilities, and operational experience. Therefore, operational performance in financial support projects serves as an important indicator proving a university's educational competitiveness and administrative capacity, and its significance becomes even greater as it can be recognized as a positive experience when participating in other government financial support projects in the future. Ryu Dong-woo, Dean of Planning and Director of the Bootcamp project, stated, "Through this project, we plan to recruit 150 trainees and do our utmost with the goal of 100% employment for all of them." He added, "It is not an easy goal, but it reflects Daejin University's strong commitment and sense of responsibility." He further presented Daejin University's future vision by saying, "Starting with this Bootcamp project, we will realize 'Daejin University, Opening the Future with AI and Adding Value Through Mutual Beneficence (Sangsaeng).'" In an era where AI technology drives innovation across industries, this project is expected to serve as an opportunity for Daejin University to take another step forward as an educational institution that fosters practical talent required by future society.
