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.
