Abstract: Efforts at the Chungbuk National University, Korea, to encourage amateur astronomers to participate in astronomical observation are presented. The Chungbuk National University Observatory opened the Jincheon station with 1.0-m and 0.6-m optical telescopes for research and education. The observatory is equipped with a fully automated observation and control system. Since its opening in 2008, the observatory has developed amateur astronomer programs and provided training in astronomical observation. The observatory also aims at stimulating other observatories in Korea to engage in reserach and education. We summarize our programs and future plans regarding professional-amateur collaborations in Korea.
