The 2025 Opening Ceremony for the SNU-CMU HCAI Research Center took place on February 13 at Seoul National University (SNU), marking a significant step forward in the collaboration between the two institutions in Human-Centered AI research.

For this special occasion, CMU faculty members visited SNU, where they were warmly welcomed by SNU faculty members. The event featured insightful discussions on the center’s vision, upcoming research initiatives, and opportunities for joint projects, reinforcing the strong partnership between CMU and SNU.

Through this center, both universities aim to pioneer innovative AI solutions that emphasize human-centered design, bridging academic expertise from diverse fields.

Faculty and students from Seoul National University (SNU) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) attended the CHI 2024 conference, held from May 11 to 16, 2024, in Honolulu, Hawaii. During the event, they listened to research presentations and engaged in discussions about future research directions. The event provided an opportunity for both institutions to share insights on the latest advancements in human-computer interaction (HCI) and explore potential areas for future collaboration.

The exchange included presentations on the latest HCI technologies and their real-world applications, followed by discussions on how to collaborate on future research and joint projects. This meeting served as an important moment for strengthening the partnership between SNU and CMU, setting the stage for future joint research efforts.

SNU and CMU plan to continue enhancing their partnership in HCI and other interdisciplinary fields, with a focus on advancing technology to address global challenges.

A collaborative workshop between Seoul National University (SNU) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) was held from July 31 to August 2, 2024, at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. The event brought together 47 participants, including 20 from SNU and 27 from CMU, for in-depth discussions and strategic planning.

The workshop's primary goal was to foster stronger collaboration between the two universities by exploring potential joint research projects, operational strategies, and opportunities for synergies in various academic fields. Through interactive sessions, participants shared insights on enhancing research cooperation, discussed the development of collaborative frameworks, and worked on identifying key areas for future joint initiatives.

This workshop marked an important milestone in further solidifying the relationship between SNU and CMU, with both institutions committed to expanding their collaborative efforts to tackle pressing global challenges.

Seoul National University (SNU) hosted the SNU-CMU Workshop from July 25 to 28, 2023, inviting 12 researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), renowned for its excellence in computer science and interdisciplinary research.

The workshop focused on future AI technologies across four key areas: personal life and health, ethics and society, culture and media, and education. Prominent CMU faculty, including Professors Robert Kraut, Scott Hudson, and John Zimmerman, collaborated with SNU faculty to share insights and explore directions for joint research.

SNU plans to support collaborative projects derived from this workshop and establish an international research hub with CMU by 2025, strengthening global partnerships and fostering innovation.
