During this conference, they discussed the future of global maritime education in the current scenario, in which the maritime industry navigates through a digital transformation and the development of advanced technology. Jin-chul Choi, the Dean of KMOU’s Office of International Affairs, joined as a speaker and presented on the topic of Paradigm Shift: Maritime Education Integrated with Humanities. Besides eco-friendliness and digitalization, he emphasized the significance of a shift toward human-centric maritime education, focusing on changes in the organizational culture in ships driven by the happiness of various crew members in their daily work and lives. After the conference, KMOU and DLMU held a ceremony to renew their international academic exchange agreement.

Choi stated, “This academic conference allowed us to recognize the Chinese government’s proactive investment and support in the marine field as well as its strong commitment to talent development. Since DLMU is a distinguished institution specializing in maritime education, we expect that our university will advance further with the collaboration and competition with DLMU.
