The first Hongneung Hakdang lecture series event took place on the KIST campus with the theme, “Convergence of Humanity, Science and Art.”
Hongneung Hakdang is a special lecture program where speakers from universities and research institutes in Hongneung share important ideas in the humanities, arts and sciences with the public in an easy-to-understand way. Since Hakdang was historically a local education center that cultivated talented individuals and shared knowledge within the community, Hongneung Hakdang was developed to play a similar role in Hongneung and its surrounding area.
Lecturers in the First Hongneung Hakdang included Seong Wook Hong, Fellow at the Korea Institute of Advanced Study (Sciences: Rationality and Imagination, Its History and Variations), Jong Hoe Kim, Professor at Kyunghee University (Humanities: Creative Imagination and Humanistic Cognition), and In Soo Cho, Professor at the Korea National University of Arts (Arts: Visual Joy of Endless Imagination). They made their respective presentations as keynote speakers on why convergence is so important today.
