Outline

The origin of Seoul National University (SNU) dates back to the late nineteenth century when Korean Emperor Gojong established modern higher education institutions which later became part of SNU.

In 1895 Emperor Gojong issued Imperial Order 49 and established the Legal Training School as the first modern higher education institution in Korea. It turned out 209 graduates including the Martyr Yi Jun.

The Seoul (Hanseong) Normal School, the first modern teacher training school was established in the same year and later became the SNU College of Education.

The Convergence Research Center for Disaster-Hazard Resilience (CRC-DHR) aims at developing a sustainable research infrastructure that will provide cutting-edge solutions for each stage of natural/man-made disasters and hazards in order to maximize the society's disaster-hazard resilience, and producing high-quality human resources for the next-generation convergence research.
