The Korea-Europe Center at the Institute of Korean Studies/Freie Universität Berlin is pleased to announce the 2022 Workshop Series <Korea Competence Week> for graduate students and PhD candidates intending to enhance the academic and political competence of those involved in Korea-related research and politics.

Date and Time: 4th -9th  September 2022 (Mon.-Fri.)
Venue: Berlin
The Korea-Europe Center will provide roundtrip airfare (economy class) within Europe, accommodations, and meals for the duration of the workshop for five selected applicants.

Application Deadline: 25th June 2022 (6 pm CEST)
The workshop series comprises four parts:
1. Methodology Workshop
   Monday, 4th September 2022, 9am - 6:20pm
Facilitators: Prof. Dr. Lee, Eun-Jeung, Dr. Choe, Hyondok
This workshop is designed to invite Ph.D. students and scholars researching themes related to Korea to meta-analysis and self-reflection of their research. Over the course of this workshop, participants will gain greater awareness of implicit presuppositions, guiding perspectives and values, and blind spots of their own research design. This type of training will enable participants to a more conscious and reflective handling of research methods and the theoretical baggage that comes with them. It will also enhance participants intercultural competence in an increasingly globalizing academic context, and especially that of area studies.
Process of Workshop:
(1) Each participant is expected to give a presentation (20 min.) of their research based on a meta-reflection. A list of guiding questions will be provided to participants prior to the workshop.
(2) Each presentation will be followed by a round of comments and discussion with the possibility to focus in-depth on key issues in participants research designs.

2. Publication Writing Workshop
   Tuesday, 5th September 2022, 10am - 4pm
Instructor: Dr. Christoph M. Michael
This workshop focuses on the dos and don'ts of academic research paper writing and publication. Participants will enhance their ability to write academic papers and how to clearly structure them, focusing on key components such as abstract writing and preparing the finished paper for submission to a journal. Participants will also learn about publication processes. With the help of an experienced journal editor, they will learn how to choose the right journal for their paper, navigate peer review, and think strategically about building visibility for their expertise.
Participants will be expected to bring a short sample of their writing, preferably a paper there are currently working on. This workshop will employ a set of peer-tutoring methods among a variety of other techniques.

3. Policy Paper Writing Workshop
   Wednesday, 6th September 2022, 10am  - 4 pm,  followed by a group work session
   Thursday, 7th September 2022, 10am - 12pm, group report and evaluation
Instructor: tba
This workshop teaches basic techniques and strategies of writing policy papers. Participants have the opportunity to gain knowledge, skills and first-hand insight from people, who are engaged in policy paper writing. The workshop intends to illuminate the context in which policy papers are produced, why they are written, and how they potentially influence decision making processes. The workshop will consist of interactive training sessions, group work and practical exercise.

4. Strategic Dialogue Workshop
   Thursday, 7th September 2022, 2pm - 6pm
   Friday, 8th September 2022, 10 am - 12pm,  Group work, 2 pm - 4 pm Presentation
Instructors: tba
Strategic dialogue has been a term used with increasing frequency, both in private and public sectors. It is generally understood as denoting a processual development among groups or teams intending to reach a common understanding concerning goals, concepts or projects in view of a future. Nevertheless, what does "strategic dialogue" exactly mean? How does it differ from a regular "bilateral" or "multilateral" meeting? Is it a formal or informal process? How does it compare and contrast with 1.5 and 2-track discussions? Can academics participate in strategic dialogues, or is it a format limited to practitioners, mostly from the field of politics? Who sets the strategic agenda and how is strategic dialogue organized in practice?
The workshop will examine these and other questions providing a comprehensive overview of the instrument of strategic dialogue. The seminar will host speakers with rich experience and a proven track record in conducting such strategic dialogues with partners in Asia and, in particular, in both Koreas. The guest speakers will share their expertise and provide hands-on experiences. This workshop will also include a model-strategic dialogue in which participants will have the opportunity to prepare and simulate a strategic dialogue under the guidance of experienced practitioners in the field.
