Digital technology opens new pathways for distributing knowledge beyond national borders and promotes the explosive growth of the international information-based economy. Surely we are in the midst of a grand educational transition, a movement beyond knowledge building alone and toward supporting flows of knowledge innovatively and effectively. This is a development that holds tremendous challenges and opportunities for universities. To adapt and remain relevant in this era of dynamic change, especially in science and technology, research universities and industry must cooperate. Together, they can contribute constructively and powerfully to the growth and development of the larger global society in which all take part. Under the theme “Effective Education and Innovative Learning,” this forum will serve as an opportunity for participants to seek and examine methods of moving education forward in new and productive ways. Institutions must invent radical and innovative methods of educating today’s students because the way in which they learn differs from the learning patterns of past generations. We must search for an interface of collective intelligence and the mass customization of education that fits the aptitude of each individual student. Reliable and accessible academic resources should be made readily available, so that everyone has the intellectual resources to tackle problems in his or her surrounding environment. In traditional education, professors have taught at their own pace and expected their students to learn at that rate as well, but this methodology is inefficient. In its place, an interactive student-centric approach must be developed, fostering the growth of future leaders who are competent in solving global problems. This educational innovation will, in turn, create new growth engines through the convergence of science and technology with business, making it possible to contribute further to the enhancement of the quality of life for all of humanity. Since 2008, KAIST has been the proud host of the International Presidential Forum on Global Research Universities, focusing on pertinent issues that permeate all sectors of society. Representatives of leading global research universities from around the world gather in Seoul to share their ideas and expertise toward the ultimate goal of serving human needs through the advancement of science and technology. I would like to thank all of you for joining us at this year’s forum and look forward to hearing about your ideas and insights in creating a world that utilizes effective education and innovative learning. Nam Pyo Suh President KAIST PREFACE • Ⅰ 2012 INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENTIAL FORUM ON GLOBAL RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES: Effective Education and Innovative Learning Acknowledgments The 5th International Presidential Forum on Global Research Universities would not have been possible without the support of participants from academia, government, and industry from all over the world. I would like to send my heartfelt appreciation to all of you. For the past five years, we have gathered annually here in Seoul to examine pertinent problems faced by higher educational institutions around the world, to consider plausible solutions, and to discuss the future direction of research universities. The aim of the 2012 IPFGRU themed ‘Effective Education and Creative Learning’ is to identify the crucial elements in creating an innovative academic infrastructure and formulating a reliable collaborative network for institutions all around the world. Our goal is to devise new and effective education models, utilizing innovative and creative learning methods. It is the responsibility of global research-oriented institutions of higher education to strive continuously to enhance the quality of life. Accordingly, it is our obligation to distribute equal educational opportunities to all of humanity and to achieve innovation in education through close collaboration between industry and academia. As scientific and technological advancements transform our world, higher education institutions have been evolving rapidly, working to keep pace in the new information society. Now we need to take the next step. We must make education more effective by utilizing technology in fundamentally new ways. Institutions around the world are already reinventing education, but these efforts must penetrate geographical borders, allowing higher learning to be accessible to all. Thanks to your immense support, we have more than 80 participants from about 60 institutions in 27 countries. I’d like to express my heartfelt appreciation to all the guests, both from Korea and from abroad, representing academia, industry, and government, for sacrificing their time to come and share their expertise and insights. I would also like to thank all the sponsors: the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST), S-Oil, Samsung Heavy Industries, the Korea Foundation of Advanced Studies, and Elsevier Korea.

Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

  • Recreation, Sport and the Arts
    367 Chapter 19 Recreation, Sport and the Arts Hong Kong is well known for its hard- working people, but it is not an all-work- no-play city. People spend time in a wide variety of recreational, sport and cultural activities, ranging from ‘tai chi’ to yoga, football to rugby, and international arts festivals to home-grown performances. Hong Kong offers many opportunities for people to unwind. Recreation, sport and the arts provide an opportunity for people in Hong Kong to improve their quality of life. The Government helps to nurture an environment in which creative freedom, a pluralist approach to the development of the arts, sporting excellence and recreation can thrive. Government policies on matters concerning sport, recreation, culture and heritage are coordinated by the Home Affairs Bureau. Organisations that help to draw up these policies include the Hong Kong Sports Commission, the Hong Kong Sports Institute, the former Culture and Heritage Commission, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and the Antiquities Advisory Board. The Hong Kong Sports Institute Limited was set up as a delivery agent to help develop sports in Hong Kong with special emphasis on training athletes for high- performance sports. In January 2005, the Government established the Sports Commission to advise on all matters related to sports development. The commission oversees the Elite Sports Committee, the Major Sports Events Committee and the Community Sports Committee which give advice on different aspects of sporting activities. The new advisory structure is a milestone for sports development in Hong Kong. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), an executive arm of the Home Affairs Bureau, provides leisure and cultural services to the community, preserves its cultural heritage, beautifies its physical environment, and fosters synergy among sports, cultural and community organisations.

  • SOE in France: an Account of the Work of the British Special Operations Executive in France: 1940–1944
    ii SOE IN FRANCE WHITEHALL HISTORIES: GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL HISTORY SERIES ISSN: 1474-8398 The Government Official History series began in 1919 with wartime histories, and the peace- time series was inaugurated in 1966 by Harold Wilson. The aim of the series is to produce major histories in their own right, compiled by historians eminent in the field, who are afforded free access to all relevant material in the official archives. The Histories also provide a trusted secondary source for other historians and researchers while the official records are still closed under the 30-year rule laid down in the Public Records Act (PRA). The main criteria for selection of topics are that the histories should record important episodes or themes of British history while the official records can still be supplemented by the recollections of key players; and that they should be of general interest, and, preferably, involve the records of more than one government department.
