RIKS Academy
The field of Korean Studies overseas has developed greatly and produced many researchers. However, to date no systematic academic exchanges have been established for young Korean and foreign researchers. The Research Institute of Korean Studies (RIKS), a leading research institute in this field since its establishment in 1957, runs the RIKS Young Korean Studies Academy every year to provide young Korean Studies researchers with an opportunity to interact and communicate with each other from the initial stages of their research, with the aim of developing long-term relationships. The purpose of this program is to help young Korean Studies researchers to build a productive network and to develop professionally.
