Social network analysis (SNA) specialist CYRAM Inc. and Hallym University’s Institute of Legal and Scientific Research signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on December 3 to foster industry-academia cooperation.

Through this agreement, the two parties will share CYRAM's expertise in social network analysis and big data technologies with the institute's knowledge in forensic and convergence sciences. This partnership aims to promote information and research capacity exchange in forensic science and public safety domains while contributing to workforce development.

Looking ahead, CYRAM plans to expand the application of social network and graph analysis in the public safety data science sector by offering expert lectures and fostering researcher exchanges. Meanwhile, the Institute of Legal and Scientific Research will actively utilize CYRAM's flagship SNA software, NetMiner4, and its graph data science platform, NetMiner365. The institute also commits to organizing lectures and academic events, furthering joint research and academic collaborations.
