International Academic Exchange Now Enters the 'Online Era'

Pukyong National University to Hold Next-Generation Graduate Student Forum via Video Conference on the 17th
Graduate Students from 9 Universities in 4 Countries to Present Research and Discuss on YouTube

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] In the era of COVID-19, international academic exchange events have now moved online. An academic exchange event where graduate students from four countries present and discuss their research online is attracting attention.

The Humanities Korea Plus (HK+) Project Group at Pukyong National University will hold the 3rd Next-Generation Graduate Student Forum on the 17th at the Convention Hall on the 4th floor of the Miraegwan building on campus, under the theme "Development and Exchange of Modern Northeast Asian Maritime Humanities Network."

This forum, attended by graduate students from Korea, China, Japan, and Taiwan, is an international academic event hosted by the Pukyong National University HK+ Project Group, which is conducting research on "Northeast Asian Maritime Humanities Network and Dynamism," to foster next-generation researchers in the field of Northeast Asian maritime humanities.

Since 2018, the Pukyong National University HK+ Project Group has held forums where graduate students from four countries gather in one place to present and discuss, but due to the spread of COVID-19, this year's event will be held online.

On this day, graduate students from Pukyong National University, Mokpo National University, China Ocean University, Shanghai Normal University, Kagoshima University, Kanagawa University, Kansai University, Taiwan Ocean University, and Xiamen University will deliver 11 presentations across three sessions covering historical materials and the Northeast Asian maritime area, the development of empires and the Northeast Asian maritime area, and locality and exchange in the Northeast Asian maritime area.

The presentations will be simultaneously interpreted in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese and will be provided in real-time through the HK+ Project Group's YouTube channel.

Son Dong-joo, head of the HK+ Project Group, said, "Through this forum, we hope that graduate students from Korea, China, Taiwan, and Japan will not only share research results on the knowledge, people, and cultural dynamism of modern and contemporary Northeast Asian maritime areas but also create an opportunity to continue academic exchanges beyond time and space in the future."
