HRCap Spearheads UKC 2018 Public Session Planning
with KSEA (재미한인과학기술자협회)
HRCap’s President and CEO, Mr. Andrew Sungsoo Kim, was in attendance at this year’s US-Korea Conference on Science, Technology and Entrepreneurship – 한미과학기술학술대회. UKC is organized annually by KSEA (Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association –
재미한인과학기술자협회) and KOFST (Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies - 한국과학기술단체총연합회).
UKC 2017 was held in Washington D.C with the theme of “Engagement Opportunities for Global Challenges: Convergence and Innovation through Cooperation.” The conference included symposiums, forums, and workshops that brought together broad areas of science and technology, and provided meaningful opportunities for scientists, engineers, and business leaders to interact and strategize for the advancement of technology and science.
UKC 2018 will be held in New York and is already being planned by the KSEA and KOFST leadership. Every year, UKC organizes one Public Lecture Session prior to the Plenary Sessions, to offer the general public a unique opportunity to attend Nobel Laureate Speaker Lectures. As an active partner and sponsor for KSEA and its affiliates for over the past 17 years, HRCap has partnered with KSEA to redesign and transform UKC’s Public Session Programs. In 2018, this one lecture session will be expanded to a comprehensive three-day immersive program, all open to the general public.
The Public Session will support KSEA’s mission to further the collaboration between US and Korea, the advancement of scientific disciplines, and the outreach to the public community. The new three-day program will include job fairs, career seminars, panel discussions and lecture series that encompass themes on strengthening US-Korea relations, deepening Korean-American roots, and leading the next Industrial Revolution. HRCap will engage the government, industry, and academia to reflect on the impact of the 4th industrial revolution, and invite distinguished speakers to share cross-cultural and cross-generational success testimonials. Since the public sessions will be held parallel to the symposium, they will provide an outlet and mode of inspiration for the public community to experience first-hand what the world of disciplinary science may have to offer.
