-JNU College of Engineering has achieved top rankings in international thesis performance among the KNU 10 over the past three years
-The college's research funding is also anticipated to increase annually, which is expected to support the development of the ‘RISE’ system.

The performance of papers at JNU College of Engineering has remained at the highest level for the past three consecutive years. This outstanding achievement is not only bolstering the training of future talent but also attracting significant research funds for various projects in related fields.
According to analyzed university information disclosure data released on September 6, JNU College of Engineering ranked the highest among the KNU 10 (10 Korean National Universities) with an average of 1.12 papers per full-time faculty member in international academic journals over the past three years (2021-2023).
These accomplishments are contributing to JNU's growing ability to attract research funds. Over the past three years, the university has secured a total of KRW 58.3 billion in engineering research funds, with annual amounts increasing from KRW 18.5 billion in 2021 to KRW 19.6 billion in 2022, and KRW 20.1 billion in 2023.
In particular, the JNU Green Hydrogen Glocal Research Center, directed by Prof. Kim Sang-jae from the Department of Mechanical System Engineering, has received a total of KRW 14.5 billion in subsidies over approximately seven years. It has been selected as the Green Hydrogen Glocal Lead Research Center for the 2024 Global Lead Research Center (RLRC), organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Research Foundation.
JNU President Kim Eel-hwan said, "JNU is currently pursuing a transition to a regional innovation-oriented support system (RISE) in alignment with our management vision of 'creating the future together and leaping toward newness.' JNU expects that the excellent thesis performance of JNU College of Engineering will serve as a strong foundation for the development of the RISE system."
