Twenty-eight students complete Ajou's BEC.AR Program entrusted by the Argentine government

2015-10-29


The graduation ceremony for the BEC.AR Program was held on October 29th in Ajou University's Yulgok Hall.


The Program, which is managed by Argentina’s Prime Minister’s Office, entrusts Argentine talents to overseas universities for training, and the Argentine government provides all the expenses for them. In 2013, Ajou University was appointed by the Argentine government as an educational institution for the Program for the first time in Korea, and it has been running the Program as the only operator in the country.


Over the last three months since the entrance ceremony on July 31st, the twenty-eight students have been trained in Information Technology (IT), Bio Technology (BT), Nano Technology (NT), and Energy Technology (ET), as well as South Korea's economic development and the Korean language. The Program completion ceremony was attended by Argentina’s Ambassador to the Republic of Korea Jorge Roballo and Dean Jay Ick Lim of the Graduate School of International Studies and other related officials who offered the graduates words of encouragement.


Dean Lim said, "I hope that what you have learned at Ajou will contribute to the development of the Argentine economy as well as yourselves."


Argentina’s Ambassador to the Republic of Korea Jorge Roballo stated, "I would like to thank all the officials who have operated the program successfully," adding his words of congratulation, "Despite the relatively short period of time, I hope that the education in South Korea's science and technology and history will benefit not only yourselves, but other Argentine people."
