HUFS, as the chair of the Silk-road Universities Network (SUN), held the Silk-road Zone opening ceremony in the Cyber Building of the Seoul Campus on Jan. 16.

The ceremony was hosted by the president of the United Students of SUN (USSUN), which is an affiliated organization under SUN. HUFS president Kim In-chul, SUN secretary general Hwang Sung-don, professors related with the Silk-road and about 50 officials attended.

During the ceremony, SUN and HUFS displayed the school and national flags that were donated from 27 universities and arranged a rest area and facilities for international students at HUFS, who are from the Silk-road area.

SUN is a joint organization with universities in various countries that are around the Silk-road. It was founded in Aug. 2015 in Gyeongju, in order to contribute to the development of human civilization and regain ‘the spirit of the Silk-road,’ which is the symbol of eastern and western civilization, through the exchange of academics, education, and culture about the Silk-road.
