Prior to the signing of MoU, both parties discussed and agreed on some possible collaborative activities, such as student and teacher exchanges, staff conferences, and cultural programs.

This MOU agreement between UNIST and FEFU will play a pivotal role in implementing the Northeast Oil Hub Project,” says Moo Je Cho.
