[Interview with an Expert on Research Dissemination] The Future Envisioned by Hanyang University’s Europe-Africa Institute, the Hub of African Studies “Africa is no longer a target for aid, but an equal partner seeking technological cooperation and capacity development.” On January 29, we met Professor Kim Sung-soo of Hanyang University’s Europe-Africa Institute at the ‘Solidarity of Knowledge and Expansion of Values ​​in Humanities and Social Sciences’ exchange event held at Chungnam National University. Through this interview, the Professor shared profound insights on why we need *‘convergent research’* now, moving beyond existing fragmentary regional studies, and on the true image of Korea as seen by local African elites. Watch the video now to see the future of practical humanities and social sciences—not confined to academic papers, but one that supports corporate expansion and serves as the foundation for national public diplomacy! 📌 Key Interview Contents Paradigm Shift in African Studies: From Humanities to Social Science Convergence Model for Disseminating Research Results through the CSI (Capacity, Survey, Incubating) System Customized Public Diplomacy Strategies Based on Field Surveys in Nigeria, Algeria, and Other Countries Importance of Horizontal Partnerships for Sustainable Cooperation #HanyangUniversity #ProfessorKimSungsoo #AfricanStudies #ConvergenceResearch #HumanitiesAndSocialSciences #PublicDiplomacy #ChungnamNationalUniversity #CenterForHumanitiesAndSocialSciencesIntegrationAndDissemination #HUSOP #RegionalStudies #KnowledgeSolidarity ======================================================= This video was produced as part of the ‘Research Results Exchange Meeting by Group Research Type’ organized by the Center for Humanities and Social Sciences Integration and Dissemination (HUSOP) at Chungnam National University.
