The TCS co-organized ‘2018 Young Professionals Consortium on Trilateral Cooperation’ with the Institute of East and West Studies of Yonsei University and its distinguished partners, Waseda and Tsinghua University. The program was designed with an aim to encourage young professionals (including graduate students and post-doctoral fellows) from the three countries to strengthen trilateral partnership, conduct research on the common subjects of interest, and to come up with innovative suggestions for trilateral cooperation. This year's program for young professionals was held as part of the '2018 Joint Symposium on Trilateral Cooperation,' under the theme of "Future, Connected: Seeking New Opportunities for Trilateral Cooperation through Emerging Trans-border Issues."
The Symposium began with the Experts' Forum held at Yonsei University where renowned professors from the three countries have gathered together to discuss the pressing trans-border issues requiring joint responses and cooperation among the three countries. TCS Secretary-General Lee Jong-heon delivered a welcoming remarks as the co-host of this program and addressed the current issues of common concern and highlighted the significance of further promoting trilateral cooperation particularly in the areas of non-traditional security issues.
The Symposium was followed by 'Young Professionals Consortium on Trilateral Cooperation' organized at the TCS International Auditorium (15Fl. S-Tower) in the afternoon. The program invited young professionals from the three countries to deliver presentations on the issues in such areas as energy, science and technology, social welfare and innovation, and cultural diplomacy. The participants, including the professors who attended as moderators and discussants, spoke highly of the purpose and goals behind this program and encouraged the TCS to continue its efforts in developing the program to build and empower a young professionals’ network among the three countries.
