-The 4th regular meeting of the Presidential Council of Korea NU 10 in 2024
-Discussing measures to ensure continuity of work in the event of a computer failure

The National University Presidents' Council has agreed to establish a national university information system disaster recovery center. This agreement aims to ensure business continuity for national university information systems in the event of future disasters.

The "2024 4th Regular Meeting" of the National University Presidents' Council, chaired by Kim Ee-hwan, JNU President, was held at the KAL Hotel on Oct. 4.

At the meeting, discussions focused on establishing the National University Information System Disaster Recovery Center. The council noted that most national universities' current disaster recovery systems are limited to distributed storage of data backups, with insufficient preparation for system and data recovery through remote computer centers in case of a disaster.

Moreover, establishing individual disaster recovery systems for each university is challenging due to poor financial situations resulting from declining student numbers and tuition freezes.

The council formed a consensus on the need for a National University Information System Disaster Recovery Center. They agreed to propose including a disaster recovery system for national university information systems when the Ministry of Education promotes the Information Strategy Plan (ISP) for establishing an integrated national university disaster recovery center and next-generation system.

Additionally, the meeting discussed proposals for expanding autonomy in university research fund operations and common proposals for national universities based on the 2024 National Audit (Education Committee).

JNU President Kim Eel-hwan said, "Through active exchange of opinions, today's meeting has yielded meaningful results," adding, "It will serve as an opportunity to gather wisdom and capabilities so that Korea NU 10 can play a role as agents of change and innovation for balanced national development in the future.“
