Kwangwoon University (President Do-Young Yoon)’s Humanities and Social Sciences Convergence Talent Development (HUSS) Global Coexistence Project operated the “Cisco Live Sustainable Global Leadership Program” in the Netherlands from Thursday, February 5 to Friday, February 13 in collaboration with Cisco, a leading global ICT company.
In addition, during the program, the students visited Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Brussels to examine local eco-friendly transportation systems, smart infrastructure, data-driven urban management systems, and strategies for revitalizing historic spaces. In particular, by visiting KOTRA’s Netherlands Trade Office and European Union (EU) institutions, they were able to see firsthand how sustainability and urban competitiveness are connected within Europe’s public policy environment.
Professor Hee-Dae Park of the Division of International Trade, who planned and operated the program, said, “By directly experiencing urban regeneration sites in Europe and Cisco Live, the students were given an opportunity to view technology and society in an integrated way.” He added, “It was a meaningful experience that helped them develop a global perspective by connecting sustainability with digital transformation.”
Meanwhile, the HUSS Global Coexistence Consortium has been operated with financial support from the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea from 2024 to 2026, with the goal of fostering convergent talent in the humanities and social sciences.
