Global Knowledge Exchange and Development Center (GKEDC)
2020 Summer Program for International University Scholars
GKEDC is launching its third summer program for international university scholars seeking policy insights and knowledge sharing in international development. During this four-week program, we will meet to explore specific cases from Korea’s development history, outline key lessons and share relevant knowledge from your country’s experience. We will focus on one of Korea’s key educational policies, the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), which largely contributed to Korea’s industrial development. The theme for this summer program will be grounded in Korea as a ‘Knowledge-Based Economy’, which will provide the insights and a perspective about the development where participants from various countries may apply to their country case studies. The program will also provide opportunities to meet and engage with practitioners from many other countries. As a final output, you will submit an original knowledge product linked to education strategies supporting the industrial development policies in your country. At the closing ceremony, you will give a presentation to your peers as well as KDI-affiliated development experts. A certificate will be awarded to the participants who attend 80% of the program and submit the final knowledge product.
