WelcomeThe Global Collaborative Summer Program was established through an institutional
agreement between Kyung Hee University and University of Pennsylvania, which was later
joined by other prestigious universities as well as international organizations such as the
United Nations.
Under the theme “Humanity, Civilization, and Global Governance,” the Global
Collaborative Summer Program seeks to promote a better understanding of the East
Asian region and the world, in tandem with the current quests for “world peace” and
“global common good.” It also aims to provide a new paradigm of higher education for the
emerging global agenda by consciously integrating education, research and global service.
Through high-quality research and education on Humanity, Civilization, and Global
Governance, we hope this program will present an opportunity for students around the
world to share ideas and views with each other and to reflect on their emerging roles in the
global community. On behalf of Kyung Hee University, I would like to warmly welcome
you all to our Global Collaborative Summer Program.
