From April 23 to 25, 2025, at Brno University of Technology (BUT) in the Czech Republic, Professor Soojin Park, Head of the Department of Energy Policy & Engineering at KINGS, delivered a finance lecture as the first official class of the Czech Nuclear Cooperation Center (NCC), which is being jointly established by KINGS and BUT.

This marks the beginning of full-fledged cooperation between the two universities for the development of nuclear professionals, and we look forward to even more active collaboration in the future. 

KEPCO International Nuclear Graduate School (KINGS), under the leadership of Acting President Hak-Kyu Lim, has been designated as an IEQAS (International Education Quality Assurance System) certified institute in the Ministry of Education's 2024 assessment for 8 consecutive years.

KINGS has undertaken an effective approach to improving spaces and securing new areas by enhancing space utilization efficiency. In particular, new conference rooms and seminar rooms have been established in the main building, playing a crucial role not only in academic activities but also in external collaborations.

The newly installed conference and seminar rooms will be used for various purposes, including meetings with external participants, faculty and student seminars, and more. These spaces will effectively support the school's research, education, and networking objectives while also being highly useful for on-campus events, academic conferences, and industry collaboration programs.

This space improvement initiative is expected to enhance the operational efficiency of the university while significantly contributing to the advancement of the research and educational environment for both students and faculty.

On March 10, 2025, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power and the International Nuclear Nonproliferation and Cooperation Center signed the "Industry-Academic Cooperation Group-Sponsored Project Business Agreement." Through this agreement, both parties recognized the need for a specialized research organization to support the smooth promotion of South Korea's nuclear power plant exports and agreed to collaborate on strengthening the research and development capabilities of the "KINGS Nuclear Nonproliferation and Cooperation Center."

On March 4, 2025, the KINGS Matriculation Ceremony for the 2025 academic year was held. This year, KINGS welcomed 113 master's students and 10 doctoral students. In addition to Korean students affiliated with energy and nuclear-related institutions, students from 15 countries, including the Czech Republic, Ghana, Indonesia, and Kazakhstan, are set to enhance their capabilities as nuclear professionals.
