and the development project was divided into three terms and promoted gradually.
The first stage of the project developed 121.4 ha in the southern part of the site
including the present university zone from 1995 to 2003, and Urban Development
Corporation (present Urban Renaissance Agency) took charge of this project. In
the second stage of the project, the municipality has charge of the project to
develop 135.5 ha in the northern part of the site from 2004 to 2011. The third stage
of the project is to develop the other 67.9 ha except 10 ha of the river of the site,
and it is under examination now (Fig.

There are 4 HEIs,

16 research institutes, and 56 companies in the KSRP.

HEIs share their education and research ideas with each other, promote advanced
education and research in leading-edge technology, encourage academia-industry
collaboration and entrepreneurship, and support international student. The Campus
Management Committee, which consists of the representatives of each tenant HEI
for united management of the campus, plans policy on which it jointly worked and
executes sharing facilities such as libraries, computer rooms, and other facilities
prosperity. Various challenges for exchange and collaboration among researchers,
teachers, and students in the KSRP such as joint research, credit transfer system,
faculty exchange, and co-hosting congress, etc., are tried based on it.
The KSRP aims to link research and education with business and industrial field
directly. For example, about 30 % of 150 faculty members in the total KSRP have
business experience. They have contributed to the progress of research and edu-
cation activities in the KSRP directly linked with business and industrial fields. In
addition, such a directivity of the research and education activities to the real
business and industrial fields has been strengthened through various research
