This year’s Manhae Peace Prize goes to Professor Emeritus Haruki Wada of the University of Tokyo. The Manhae Practice Prize is awarded to the National Emergency Medical Center, part of the National Medical Center. The Manhae Literature Prize has been awarded jointly to theatrical director Im Young-woong and Professor Emeritus Kim Uchang of Korea University. The prizes are worth KRW 100 million in each category. Manhae Prizes are awarded to individuals who have made a significant worldwide impact in three areas: Peace, Practice, and Literature.

Professor Emeritus Haruki Wada of the University of Tokyo, this year’s Manhae Peace Prize winner, is a distinguished progressive intellectual in Japan; he led efforts to resolve the deep-seated issues of colonization and reconciliation that continue to divide Korea and Japan. Processor Wada initiated a joint statement, signed by 214 Korean and Japanese intellectuals in May 2010, to mark the 100th anniversary of Japan’s annexation of Korea. The statement declared that the Japan-Korea Treaty of 1910 was unjust, unreasonable, and invalid from the very beginning. Signed by intellectuals from both countries, this joint statement was unprecedented. Manhae Practice Prize winner, the National Emergency Medical Center (NEMC), part of the National Medical Center (NMC President & CEO Chung, Ki-Hyun and NEMC President Moon, Sung-woo) was highlighted for its contribution at the time when former President Yoon, Han-deok (1968–2019), whose presence was as essential and ubiquitous as air or water for the Korean public, suddenly passed away earlier this year, during the Korean New Year holiday. At this very moment, the NEMC is working tirelessly to honor former President Yoon’s commitment: “We must make Korea a country where anyone can survive, even in the smallest hospital emergency room.” Manhae Literature Prize co-winner Im Young-woong, a theatrical director, has produced many successful theatrical works during the past half-century, demonstrating his love for theater and resilience on stage. An orthodox director who never compromised or changed even a single word of an original work, Im has produced countless theatrical stars. He served as Chair of the Korea Theater Directors Association and the Korea Theater Association and was awarded the Korean Culture and Arts Award, the Dongrang Theater Prize, the Lee Hae-rang Theater Prize, and the Paradise Award. In 2016, he was awarded the Gold Crown Order of Culture Merit for his contributions to culture and the arts. The other Manhae Literature Prize co-winner, Kim Uchang, Korea University Professor Emeritus, has also worked as a literary critic. Since the 1977 publication of Poet in Times of Need, his first collection of critical reviews, he has published a series of critical reviews of literary works. Praised for their sensitive exploration and elegant literary style, his works of critical theory span the humanities, leading the way for literary criticism in Korea. He attracted particular attention for his in-depth, profound critical review of Manhae’s life and literature. The four-day Manhae Festival, which honors Manhae (pen name) Han Yong-un (1879–1944), is held from August 11 to 14 is held in Manhae Village and around Inje-gun; the theme is “Freedom and Peace.” Starting with events and performances on August 11, the night before the Manhae Festival, which celebrates the 23rd anniversary of the Manhae Prize, the festival includes various culture and art contests including the 21st National High Schooler Contest, the 17th Silence of Love Calligraphy Contest, and the 8th Silence of Love National Contest; it also includes academic seminars and local college events, including performances, exhibitions, and field day activities.

To reflect fast-changing trends, the curriculums will be reorganized through general consumer surveys. The university will also develop Buddhist courses to cater to a growing number of international students. Another notable project is to develop fusion and convergence Buddhist courses, such as the fusion of Buddhism and information technology.Our university also has a plan to actively seek business development based on Buddhism by establishing the Buddhist Industry Promotion Foundation. We will pursue commercialization in various areas based on our competences and contents related to Buddhist culture. For example, the government budget in the Buddhist cultural heritage repair and maintenance market is around 150 to 160 billion KRW. Cultivation of Hwajaeng-Style Talents and Global Top 100 DepartmentsThe type of the talent that our university wants to cultivate is “hawjaeng-style talent.” Our goal is to educate fusion and convergence-style people who possess the talent demanded by society and industry in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and have problem-solving abilities to resolve conflicts. To that end, our university will reorganize the curriculums by department and college into practical convergence curriculums to respond to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The departments for pilot application of the Fourth Industrial Revolution curriculum will be selected from each college, and curriculums that apply the software study method will be developed for each selected department.An education innovation organization will also be established to meet the demand for change in the paradigm of university education. We plan to develop a proactive disciplinary model to cultivate hawjaeng-style talent and make our academic systems more flexible. To that end, we will prepare an autonomous curriculum base for each department reflecting the characteristics of each department and course, test-run the new academic system, and expand the applied departments step by step. Furthermore, goal-presenting curriculums will be developed, and an education quality and student competence guarantee system will be operated as well.The university will focus its competences to develop global top 100 departments. Our university aims to identify academic units that have the ability and determination to lead the academic fields of universities and develop departments that have world-class education and research competences through the selection and concentration of resources.Regular Invitation of Core Faculty and Acquisition of Global Research CompetitivenessOur university plans to gather the full research capacity of the university and prepare the research foundation to create new values. The Vice President of Research dedicated to the research area will be introduced, and the academic research and industry-university cooperation function will be systematized.In particular, a Core Faculty Talent Pool System will be established for regular recommendation and management of excellent faculty members. To motivate research achievements, the introduction of a system that allows faculty members to receive early retirement guarantee examination will also be reviewed.Start-up Incubation One-Stop Support System and World-Class Research CompetitivenessOur university is actively nurturing start-ups in the school and plans to provide students with one-stop support for start-ups by integrating start-up-related functions, such as start-up education, promotion, and incubation. To that end, the Business Start-up Institute will be newly established under the Vice President of Research with the Young Entrepreneurs Center, Start-up Promotion Center, Start-up Incubation Center, and BMC Start-up Incubation Center.It is also notable that a technology-based start-up activate system will be constructed in connection with the Research Office and the Industry–University Cooperation Center under the Vice President of Research.Sustainable University Management System, Fund Raising, and Reinforcement of Communication FunctionsOur university has constructed an agile administrative organization for autonomous responsible management. In addition to the introduction of the Vice President of Research and Education Innovation Office, we have established the Institutional Research (IR) Team to support policy decision making by collecting, analyzing, and processing the total data of the university. Furthermore, we will concentrate the capabilities of all members on the development of the university by focusing on building bonds and empathy through bidirectional communication channels among members.In addition, our university will raise funds to expand financial resources and build education and research facilities, such as the Lotus Building, from over 300,000 alumni, the Buddhist community, and general companies. To that end, we are planning various fundraising programs.President Sung Yee Yoon said, “We are keenly aware that four years from now is a critical period for the future of our university, and many people have worked hard to plan out the Energize Dongguk Project. I will communicate with all members of our university for the successful implementation of this project based on the opinions of the members considering the internal and external environments.” Our university selected “communication and harmony”, “respect and inclusion”, and “contribution and participation” as the core values of this project. It started from the perception that creating the circumstances in which every member of our university, including students, professors, employees, alumni, and the Buddhist community, can work together and maximize their competences. From the time when he was a presidential candidate, President Yoon has shown that he would make “communication and harmony” the most important value for the development of 91看片网.
