As the second part of his lecture and fifteenth session of the overall summer course, Professor Sae Won Chung from Pukyoung National University covered the EU’s digital partnership. He focused on the EU's efforts to promote a human-centric approach to digitalization and to foster digital partnerships across the globe. He began by telling the risks associated with digitalization, such as the potential for job displacement, the impact on privacy and security, and the digital divide. He then outlined the EU's approach to mitigate those risks, which includes investing in digital skills and education, promoting digital innovation, and ensuring that digitalization benefits all citizens.

Next, he gave an overview of the EU's digital strategy, which is based on three pillars: creating a digital single market, promoting a human-centric approach to digitalization, and fostering global digital partnerships. There are the various initiatives and policies that the EU has implemented to achieve these goals, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Digital Services Act (DSA), and the Digital Europe Programme. One of the main topics covered in the lecture is the EU's digital partnerships with other countries and regions. Professor provided detailed information on the EU's partnerships with Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and ASEAN, including the objectives of these partnerships, the areas of cooperation, and the progress made so far. He also discussed the EU's efforts to promote digital connectivity with other regions, such as Africa and Latin America. Another important topic covered is the Digital4Development Hub (D4D), which is a platform established by the EU to promote digital partnerships with developing countries. The file discusses the objectives of the D4D, the initiatives it has launched, and the partnerships it has established with various stakeholders.

Overall, this PDF file provides a comprehensive overview of the EU's approach to digitalisation and its efforts to foster digital partnerships across the globe. It covers a wide range of topics related to digitalisation, including the challenges and opportunities it presents, the EU's digital strategy, and its partnerships with other countries and regions.
