The book, IFEZ Success Story, is published to share information on support for entrepreneurs operating in the IFEZ, successful cases, various management strategies, and major achievements. A total of 20 excellent institutions are selected, and their achievements are collected and published as promotional materials. The criteria for selecting excellent institutions include the management philosophy and major activities (vision and strategy), the institution’s growth, and the contribution to the local community. Ghent University Global Campus has consistently achieved excellent scores in the evaluations of the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy and the Ministry of Education for the past seven years since it opened. It was the first university in IGC to fill the quota for new students and that for full-time faculty in 2019 and has proven the success of their education as 93% of the graduates entered the world’s prestigious graduate schools or found employment in multinational companies as of 2020. Also, the university has contributed to the cultural life of local residents through the Belgian Culture Festival and to the local community by cleaning and disinfecting parks around the university and promoting the hat-knitting event for newborns with Save the Children for children of difficult families. The university was recognized for its contribution to the local community and was selected as a successful case.
Ghent University Global Campus will continue to foster global talents, develop national science and technology, hold Belgian cultural events, and contribute to the local community, establishing itself as a successful model for foreign educational institution representing Incheon Metropolitan City.
