SLW Lab (CEO Yong-seok Lee) announced on the 7th that it signed a "MOU for Mutual Cooperation and Development for Improving Barrier-Free Tourism Environment and Promoting Community-Based Empirical Research" with the Daegu University Gyeongsan Education Special Zone Project Team (Director Sang-soo Baek) at Seongsan Hall at Daegu University on the 5th. This agreement was established to foster a community-centered barrier-free tourism environment through collaboration between universities and private research institutes and to establish an empirical research model in which citizens and students participate together.
Through this agreement, the two organizations agreed to collaborate on a variety of areas, including: operating a Living Lab to improve accessibility and tourism environments; joint research on barrier-free tourism content and service design; providing disability awareness training for prospective teachers and college students; and establishing a data-driven accessibility diagnostic and analysis system. The goal is to substantially improve accessibility and build an inclusive tourism infrastructure in local communities.
Baek Sang-soo, head of the Gyeongsan Education Special Zone Project at Daegu University, said, “This agreement is the first step toward the university growing together with the local community and creating an inclusive and sustainable tourism environment,” adding, “We will strengthen our social role by going beyond academic research and solving real-world problems in the region.”
Lee Yong-seok, CEO of SLW Lab, said, “The combination of Daegu University’s educational infrastructure and regional network, and SLW Lab’s data-driven research capabilities, can lead to real changes in accessible tourism. I hope that this educational model, where students directly explore problems in the field and grow together with the local community, will spread.”
