To share professionals’ knowledge and experience in international collaboration projects, GDPC planned this special lecture and invited Professor Park Hyeon as the first special lecturer. 

Starting the lecture with an explanation about the trend and political issues of public investment management (PIM), Professor Park Hyeon presented the PIM development process and PIM’s availability in development cooperation. He wrapped up the lecture by explaining his dispatch experience in the Asian Development Bank and the present status of ISUS. The question-and-answer session and discussions were followed.
