Sejong University achieves high rankings in 2025 THE
Sejong University demonstrated its global competitiveness by achieving strong results in the 2025 Times Higher Education (THE) World University Subject Rankings.
In the latest rankings, Sejong University placed between 151st and 175th in the category of business and economics, 176-200th in engineering and computer science, 201-250th in natural sciences, and 251-300th in social sciences and life sciences.
Within South Korea, it ranked fourth in social sciences, fifth in business and economics, eighth in computer science, natural sciences, and life sciences, and ninth in engineering.
Notably, Sejong's School of Business ranked fifth in South Korea, following Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Sungkyunkwan University and Korea University. The school has also received accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business for a fourth consecutive time, an achievement attained by fewer than 5 percent of business schools worldwide.
The university's strong performance in engineering and computer science, ranking in the global top 200, highlights its research excellence and educational strength, the school explained. Sejong University attributed its success to strategic investments in engineering curricula, faculty recruitment and improvements in research facilities, marking a significant shift since the 1990s toward innovation in science and technology.
'These rankings reflect Sejong University's commitment to becoming a globally competitive institution. We will continue to enhance our research capabilities, improve educational quality, and expand international research collaborations to solidify our position as a world-class university," President Eom Jong-hwa said.

Bank rate transparency, sinkhole accident prevention
The Korea Herald republishes a weekly legislative report by local law firm DR & AJU LLC to provide the latest information on bills approved, proposed, pending and set to be promulgated. — Ed. Proposed Bill: Partial Amendment to the Banking Act Proposed by Rep. Kim Jang-kyom (People Power Party) ● This bill would require banks to disclose their current deposit rates, lending rates and interest rate spreads on a monthly basis via their websites. It would also authorize the Financial Services Commission to review the fairness and reasonableness of how these rates are determined, particularly when interest rate spreads widen, and to recommend improvements, if necessary. Proposed Bill: Partial Amendment to the Special Act on Underground Safety Management Proposed by Rep. Kim Jung-jae (People Power Party) ● This bill aims to prevent sinkhole accidents by enabling the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport or local government heads to directly carry out emergency repairs in areas at risk of ground subsidence. Pending Bill: Partial Amendment to the Equal Employment Opportunity and Work-Family Balance Assistance Act Proposed by Rep. Shin Chang-sik (Rebuilding Korea Party) ● This bill would require the Minister of Employment and Labor to conduct an annual survey and analysis of the gender pay gap based on factors such as occupation type, position, duties, length of service and employment type, and to develop an improvement plan in response to the findings. Promulgated Bill: Enforcement Rule of the Aviation Safety Act Competent Authority: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport ● This bill introduces a certification system for unmanned vertical takeoff and landing aerial vehicles, a new type of uncrewed aerial vehicle capable of long-range flight. ● This bill will raise the deposit insurance limit from 50 million won to 100 million won ($36,300 to $72,500) as of September 1, 2025.

Posco opens minerals lab in Australia
Posco Holdings, the holding company of Korean steel giant Posco Group, said Friday it has opened a key minerals research center in Australia to secure a technological edge in advanced materials, spanning steelmaking, battery materials and rare earths. According to the group, the new launch underscores its commitment to localization strategies, designed to not only secure raw materials cost-effectively, but also advance low-carbon processing technologies. Located in Perth, the center will focus on developing low-carbon steelmaking and cost-reduction technologies for lithium and nickel. It will also pursue rare earths supply chain development and high-efficiency refining technologies. This marks the first time a Korean company has established an on-site resources facility at a site sourcing raw materials, the company explained. 'Since 1971, when Posco first imported Australian iron ore, the company has built strong trust and collaboration with the Australian government and industry, emerging as a global top-tier materials company in steelmaking and battery materials,' said Chair Chang In-hwa at the opening ceremony in Perth on Friday, which was attended by executives from Australian resource companies, as well as representatives from local academic and research institutions. 'This center, combining Australia's rich resources with the group's materials technology expertise, will serve as a hub for advancing mineral processing technologies and securing critical minerals,' Chang added. The new facility brings the group a step closer to the Chang's goal of integrating technology and business strategy across the full spectrum of operations, from research and development to production and sales. The group said it will continue exploring next-generation minerals and pursuing local mining investments through partnerships. Since the early 1980s, Posco has worked closely with Australian partners to build supply chains for key minerals. The company has participated in the development of the Roy Hill iron ore mine and currently operates a joint venture with Australian lithium mining company PLS to produce lithium hydroxide for secondary battery materials.

Posco accelerates digital transformation to tackle global headwinds
Posco Group is accelerating its digital transformation efforts in a bid to overcome challenges posed by global oversupply and sluggish demand. The initiative aligns with Chair Chang In-hwa's designation of 'Rebuilding steelmaking competitiveness' as one of the group's seven key future innovation goals. According to the group on Wednesday, its Pohang Steelworks production facility recently developed an AI-based Coil Car Material Jam Detection System, designed to improve operational efficiency and reduce downtime. The Coil Car is a specialized vehicle used to transport wire rod coils. In the past, improper loading of coils onto these vehicles required time-consuming and labor-intensive recovery processes. With the new system, real-time monitoring and automatic alerts are now possible, significantly reducing such disruptions. The detection system combines object recognition algorithms with CCTV footage. During the early stages of development, Posco collected over 3,000 images to train the model, followed by system tuning and the implementation of a notification mechanism. As a result, the facility can now detect anomalies in real time, achieving a substantial reduction in line stoppages. Meanwhile, at its Gwangyang Steelworks, Posco has installed Lidar-based barriers and AI-powered CCTV systems in the traffic zones of the steelmaking plant's slab finishing facility. This is part of its Smart Fool Proof System, developed to enhance worker safety. The system is an advanced safety solution designed in-house to prevent equipment failures and workplace accidents caused by human error. The Lidar-equipped barriers remain closed under normal conditions. When crane or vehicle movement is detected in the designated zone, the barrier opens to allow safe passage. Conversely, if crane movement is ongoing, the barrier stays shut to ensure safety. The key lies in the system's ability to accurately distinguish between workers, cranes and vehicles. Posco said it plans to continue leveraging its accumulated field experience and know-how, integrating technologies such as AI and big data to create an optimized and intelligent production environment.
