Yonsei University School of Business has opened a lecture called "Social Contribution Project, uSEE" since 2015 to create a venue for co-prosperity between college students and local communities.Through the lecture, which was created in cooperation with Yonsei University's Business School, Seoul Metropolitan Self-Support Center, and Seodaemun-gu Social Economy Support Center, companies are provided with fresh ideas about marketing from students, and students have the opportunity to apply the knowledge they learned only in class in practice.

LearnUs, short for Learning Ubiquitous square, is an open knowledge channel to anyone, anytime, anywhere, as it means "learning square that exists everywhere." It aims to contribute to bridging the educational gap between the underprivileged and the local community by adding empathy and familiarity to expertise and reliability as the first online education platform to be opened to the general public. Yonsei university has supported the smooth operation of non-face-to-face classes by upgrading its existing server-based teaching and learning support system to a cloud-based innovative digital education platform earlier this year in response to rapid changes in educational media and paradigms accelerated by the 4th industrial revolution and prolonged COVID-19. Now, it is possible to share and experience high-quality knowledge and information created and verified by Yonsei University anytime, anywhere.There are a total of four courses offered by LearnUs: 'Professional Course', 'Open Course', 'International Course', and 'Degree Course'. LearnUs will continue to update high-quality content by reflecting social trends, demands, and learners' opinions. Yonsei University is expected to fully communicate with education consumers around the world and solidify its position once again as a pioneer in the global education market and the best private school leading higher education in Korea achieving SDG 4.5.
