Jim Dator, a political science professor at the University of Hawaii and a global leader in futures studies, will join a new graduate program at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.
The top science and engineering university in Korea said Tuesday it would open a master’s program for future strategy in the spring to cultivate talent with future-oriented insight and strategic planning.
Dator, director of the Hawaii Research Center for Futures Studies, is among its over 20 faculty members, including bio-and brain engineering professors Lee Kwang-hyung and Jeong Jae-seung, and nuclear and quantum electronics professor Rim Chun-taek.
Kim Jin-hyun, former minister of science and technology; Yu Myeong-hee, presidential secretary for future strategy planning; and other experts have also been invited. Classes will be held both at its main campus in Daejeon and the government building in Sejong City, KAIST said.
