Institute for Adaptable Interdisciplinary Education
The Institute for Adaptable Interdisciplinary Education (“IAIE”) supports and nurtures CNU students 
to acquire the interdisciplinary talents needed for promising jobs. It guides the students to plan their 
futures, offers job information, and operates job placement programs. The IAIE has three centers to pursue 
these objectives: the Center for Career Development, the Center for Future Planning, and the Center for 
Gender Equality.
The Center for Career Development offers job counseling and recommendation, distributes job information, 
and operates industry convergence programs such as internship and externship programs. The Center for 
Future Planning performs career counseling, supports future planning, and offers job-related curriculum 
and competitiveness enhancement programs. The Center for Gender Equality develops and operates job 
programs based on gender-specific needs. 
Center for Research Facilities 
The education and research activities for science and technology of the university require well-managed 
high performance facilities and equipment. To satisfy the needs of the university members, two organizations, 
the Educational Equipment Service Center (established in 1993) and Public Experiment Center (established 
in 1997), were merged to form the Chonnam National University Center for Research Facilities (CCRF) 
in 2001. Currently, the CCRF is located both at Gwangju and Yeosu campuses to provide specialized 
services to researchers of each campus. More than 80 kinds of the expensive and sophisticated equipment 
in the CCRF is operated and maintained by highly-trained staff, and the output of the analyses is supplied 
to the researchers. The CCRF also provides maintenance services for the educational equipment in individual 
laboratories.

The Chonnam National University Library (CNUL) was established in 1953 with the aim of building 
comprehensive collections in all research areas. Having established the digital library system in 1991, 
the Library provides support to university members and local residents. 
Today, the CNUL comprises the main Yongbong campus library, the annex library, the Yeosu campus 
library, and three branch libraries (Legal, Dental, & medical). The entire combined floor space of the 
library facilities totals an area of 34,097
㎡

and 87,000 journals and periodicals. In addition to its strong domestic and overseas multimedia resources, 
online databases, e-journals and eBooks, CNUL also provides access to other organizations’ resources
