Fastpong and Korean University Research Teams Sign Collaboration MOU

Fastpong joined research teams from three Korean universities in a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to advance collaboration in table tennis education, training and sports science.

The participating university laboratories and institutes were:

• Pukyong National University — Biomechanics Lab.
• Hanyang University — Sports Innovation and Dynamics Lab.
• Keimyung University — Research Institute of Sport and Sustainability.

The agreement aimed to strengthen academic and cultural exchange through joint teaching, training programmes and research. Supporting International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) programmes was also among the intended areas of collaboration.

During the Busan World Team Championships, Fastpong CEO Amir Kamandi and researchers from the three universities met with the ITTF Sports Science and Medical Committee at Pukyong National University. They discussed scientific approaches to table tennis training and opportunities for joint research, including studies using Fastpong. Read the ITTF’s coverage of the visit.

For Fastpong, the MOU established a foundation for connecting practical training technology with university expertise and developing projects focused on table tennis learning and performance.

Special thanks go to Professor Siddhartha Bikram Pande for organising the agreement, alongside Professor Angelita Bautista Cruz, Professor Jongchul Park and Dr. Jeong Hwan Kim for helping establish the collaboration.

The collaboration followed our education and research agreement with Hanyang University.
