Grants and Writing Resources for Hanyang University
Fixwing, an IV catheter securement device designed by four fourth-year Industrial Design students at Hanyang's ERICA campus, made the James Dyson Award 2026 Global Top 20. It was the only entry from Korea to get there. The device holds a catheter in place without a separate taping step.
The Writing Center
Any enrolled undergraduate can book 1:1 writing tutoring through the Hanyang University Writing Center, in Korean, English or Spanish. There are two formats: a live 50-minute session with a tutor over Zoom, or a submitted draft that comes back with detailed written feedback within five days, excluding public holidays. Course assignments, reports and presentation scripts all qualify. So do self-introductions, interview scripts and web novels.
The Center also runs essay contests. The 2026 AI English Essay Contest is a two-hour on-site essay for up to 100 Seoul Campus undergraduates, with some English-related majors excluded, on a topic revealed that day; writers may brainstorm with ChatGPT but must cite any AI-generated text in footnotes. Seven prizes total KRW 2.5 million, led by a Grand Prize of KRW 1,000,000. In 2025 the Center held the AI-assisted Hanyang Lens Essay Contest, with cash prizes and certificates in the president's name.
Competition Results
Three Industrial Engineering graduate students, two in integrated bachelor's-master's programs and one in an integrated master's-PhD program, won the Minister of Foreign Affairs Award at the 2026 Foreign Diplomacy Public Data and AI Utilization Competition, where 244 teams took part. Their AI system sorts aid-recipient countries into four clusters from 60 to 70 indicators to support decisions on official development assistance.
At ERICA, a team of four from the Department of Marine Convergence Engineering took the top prize at the 2026 Ocean Engineering CAE Competition for a smart seagrass restoration platform. The award came with KRW 1,000,000.
