Korea Friendship
The Next Generation Conference was held at the Kukdo Hotel on 7th October as a part of the KF-EAI Korea Friendship Project “Communicus”. The four conference presenters were chosen from among this year’s Korea Friendship participants after rigorous evaluation of their research proposals by renowned scholars from EAI’s knowledge network. Professor Jae Hyeok Shin of Korea University moderated the conference, which included presentations of the selected theses and a discussion panel made up of undergraduate and graduate students who are former EAI interns.
Ms. Huyen Nguyen Thi (Korea University) received the grand award for her presentation, “Population aging and economic growth in Korea,” and Ms. An Xuanxi (Yonsei University) received the second place prize for her presentation, “Why do Korean university students place importance on specs and grades?”
