The WATEF members wish to express their heartfelt condolences to Professor Loet Leydesdorff’s family and friends on his passing. He was key to the establishment of the Asia Triple Helix Society, which transformed into the WATEF. His Korean academic colleagues will never forget the impact he had on our field. We believe he contributed immensely to the scientific field of scientometrics, which is now the foundation for big data analytics.
Here’s a link to his lecture from his trip to Korea.
Professor Han Woo PARK, YeungNam University, Korea

Congratulations! In-yong Nam, professor at Pukyong National University (Department of Journalism and Broadcasting, photography), was recently inaugurated as the president of the World Association for Triple Helix & Future Strategy Studies (WATEF). The term of office is two years, from June 28th to June 27th, 2023.
WATEF was established in 2009 to contribute to innovation communication through triple helix theory and methodological research on university-business-government relations.
WATEF pursues interdisciplinary cooperation that combines various academic approaches such as journalism, business administration, public administration, computer science, tourism, education, sociology, and futurology. It is co-publishing the open-access English-language journal, which is a SCOPUS-registered journal.
I do not want to start this speech with a cliché, to look back on the past years and thank those who helped, but I will live my life cherishing the memories of all of you who have been with me and the association during the past 10 years. Thank you always.
As the small group that started in a small corner of Korea grew into a full-fledged association, the slogan we chanted was: Globally Excellent, Locally Friendly. As the international event DISC expanded to Seoul and overseas, and interdisciplinary seminars continued, our voices spread like echoes.
The WATEF vision and ambitions will not end here today. I hope you will actively participate in the great history that the new president and executive will write in the future.

The World Association for Triple Helix & Future Strategy Studies (WATEF) is pleased to announce the inauguration of the annual “NodeXL Network Insight Award” for data-driven studies on social innovation as of September 2018. The WATEF has played an important role in introducing NodeXL, an easy-to-use data collection, social media network analysis and visualization tool, in East Asia in the past five years. A leader in IT infrastructure, as of September 2018, Korea became the third-largest user base country for NodeXL and actually surpassed the U.S. and the U.K. in terms of users per capita.
The WATEF was established to contribute to the development of the Triple Helix in Korean society with data as its foundation. Evolving into a “big-data society” is challenging. Dynamic and consistent cooperation is necessary between the academic community, as the main body of knowledge production, corporations that operate within the marketing economy, and the government in charge of coordination and regulation.
To further advance awareness of the value of social network analysis, promote the purpose of our annual conference, and encourage the aims of the Triple Helix Society, the NodeXL Network Insight Award has been established as a symbol of data research excellence. This award will be presented to a published or unpublished paper that utilizes NodeXL or social media network and content analysis as part of its core methodology and visualization. Other visualization tools may also be used. Unpublished award winners may submit their papers to the Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia after presentation by the WATEF.
We are grateful for the support of individuals and institutions in favor of the intent of this award. For further details, please contact the Committee at nodexl.award@gmail.com

(Summary) 人工知能が人間の知能を超える技術的特異点（technological singularity）を控え、多様な自然災害に関連した原始データと非構造化データを収集・分析し、不確実性の時代に近づく国家的危機を早期に検出して対応する必要がある。本セミナーでは、ビッグデータの時代とIoTを包む知能情報通信に基づいた科学的な災害安全と危機管理の方法を模索する。 In the face of the technological singularity that artificial intelligence goes beyond human intelligence, it is necessary to detect and respond at an early stage to national crises as soon as they during times of uncertainty. Doing so requires collecting and analyzing unstructured and source data related to various natural disasters. In this seminar, we will explore the scientific management of disasters and crises based on intelligence information communication systems that are comprised of big data and IoT.
(Purpose) 本セミナーが追求する自然災害の危険診断や予測モデルの開発及び土台に関する議論は、関わっている分野で進めているソリューションやシステムの開発に効果的で論理的な判断根拠を提示することができる。本セミナーを通じて。多量の知能情報データやアルゴリズムに基づいて、国家的な災害危機を予測して管理する時代の組織になろうとする。 Discussion on the development and foundations of a natural disaster risk assessment and prediction model, which this seminar pursues, provides an effective and logical basis to development of solutions and systems that relevant area is advancing. This seminar aims to become a cornerstone of the era when national disaster risks are predicted and managed based on a large amount of intelligent information data and its algorithms.
