- This academic conference is a domestic academic conference that has been held more than once a year under the theme of "Seaport Urban Cultural Interaction" since 2009: since the IMa launched its Humanities Korea Support Project in November 2008. In particular, this academic conference was held in-depth discussions with scholars studying the religion and ideas of maritime cities in Korea and Japan. 

First of all, the religion of the port city is the most basic mental and cultural style that greatly affects human internal life even today. In particular, people in the seaport city, who had to face the dangerous nature of the sea, wanted to find a god to protect their safety, and in this regard, religion could be a keyword to systematize the hybridity and dynamism of the seaport city. 

Also, the maritime city was a "ground of resonance space" where various aspects of ideas and knowledge were inherited in the historical process of gradually expanding cross-border regional negotiations, and innovative ideas and talents were formed as heterogeneous elements were dynamically mixed.

Therefore, this academic conference was created as a forum for a new understanding of maritime cities through the complex process of transmitting and accepting spiritual values such as religion and ideas, re-transmission and re-use. In addition, many experts who are interested in the topics of oceans, cities, religions and ideas participated.
