Pusan National University (PNU) and Hanwha Aerospace Co., a defense unit of South Korea’s Hanwha Group, will conduct joint research on advanced defense industry technologies.

PNU announced on Monday that it has opened Hanwha Aerospace Hub, or Hub-University Global R&D, on the third floor of its Mechanical Technology Research Building.

The university and Hanwha Aerospace signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) and a joint research agreement in May 2023, which laid the foundation for collaborative research aimed at developing cutting-edge technologies for the country’s defense industry.

The Hanwha Aerospace Hub will serve as a global research and development center, leading collaborative research between the university and the company on future defense industry technologies and fostering skilled talent in the field.
