Our variety is thanks to the diverse numbers of countries, cultures, and academic environments from which our researchers come from. Despite this, young researchers do not have many opportunities to share their findings and enhance their expertise.</span></p>
<p align="left" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; text-align: left; line-height: 115%;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In response to this, Korea University’s Research Institute of Korean Studies (RIKS) worked in collaboration with the support of the Pony Chung Foundation to create such a platform in 2016, called the RIKS Academy. Since its founding in 1957, RIKS, a leader in the field of Korean Studies, has done its best to fulfill the long-term mission of enabling active interaction among young researchers and to broaden the reach of Korean Studies. This year, the fourth RIKS Academy will bring together scholars of philosophy, history, and literature for intensive courses designed to explore the context of Korean Studies as it relates to East Asia.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%; font-family: "맑은 고딕"; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>

We at RIKS encourage all participants’ research and cooperation, and look forward to working with you. </span></p>
