2021 Next-Generation Policy Experts Network Active
in Six
Countries and Regions
From April through November of this year, the KF, along with think
tanks and research institutes in six countries and regions, is
co-hosting the 2021 Next-Generation Policy Experts’ Network, targeting
policy experts interested in Korea-related issues.
The Next-Generation Policy Experts’ Network was first launched in 2015
to foster young policy experts on Korean affairs and promote research
on Korea-related issues. The program was initially introduced in three
countries, but has now expanded to six countries and regions around
the world: in ASEAN via the Institute of Security and International
Studies in Thailand, in Europe via Chatham House, in China via the
Institute of International and Strategic Studies (IISS) and Beijing
University, in Japan via the Center for Contemporary Korean Studies at
Keio University, in Oceania via the Australia Institute of
International Affairs (AIIA), and in Russia via the Russian
International Council.
This year’s activities include working group meetings in which Korean
experts deliver lectures on the latest international issues involving
Korea and East Asia; mentor-mentee programs that provide opportunities
to explore careers in academia, diplomacy, mass media, and government;
and online tours to Korean institutes that allow participants to get a
glimpse into the initiatives of leading Korean government and research
institutes.
