Through this event, we were able to confirm once again the contributions of numerous members to the 70th anniversary. It was also a time to solidify our determination to make it an opportunity to take a new leap forward with the shipbuilding and marine industry until the day of the 70th, 80th, and 100th anniversaries. Academic Conference A two-day academic conference was held from November 10, the day after the 70th anniversary event, to November 11.

In the invited lecture, Ho-hwan Chun, President of Tongmyong University, gave a presentation titled “The future of the shipbuilding and maritime industry and human resource development.” The need for technology such as digitization and decarbonization of the shipbuilding and maritime industry and the current sense of crisis due to severe population decline were also emphasized. In addition, the usual educational philosophy on how to nurture talented people was expressed in the term, “Do-ing” university. As separate sessions, on the morning of Friday, November 11, two sessions for the Student Ship Design Contest and one session for the Autonomous Boat Competition were held. The teams that received an award for the Student Ship Design Contest participated, and presentations by nine teams for designated assignments and nine teams for free assignments were introduced. For the Autonomous Boat Competition, Korea Maritime and Ocean University, which won the comprehensive award, as well as Pukyong National University and Inha University, unveiled the various technologies and know-how they accumulated while participating in the competition. In addition, posters of the winners of the competition were exhibited in the lobby on the third floor and received a great response.
