The Academy of Korean Studies (AKS) runs this program to improve the quality of Korean studies and extend its reach internationally. It supports researchers affiliated with institutions outside Korea across four strands: individual or collaborative academic research on Korea-related subjects; international, national, or thematic conferences and workshops; scholarly journals and books that disseminate original research; and lectures, educational programs, and cultural activities that share knowledge of Korean studies.
The strands connect the production of research with opportunities to discuss, publish, teach, and present it. Each has its own eligibility requirements and application guidelines.
