The primary aim of the National Association of Foreign Scholars in Korea (NAFSIK) is to become a professional platform for non-Korean scholars teaching and conducting research at various universities in Korea. At present, there are approximately 1000-3000 foreign academics including PhD candidates in Korea (20~50 scholarsx203 universities). The results of their research works are significant in the concept of K-academia for the development of global Korea. However, the academic conditions of foreign scholars are not often visual and recognised. The fact that they are usually isolated with the lack of support from universities, causes the discontinuation of research in Korean universities. It also affects the long term plan of Korean government for the global influence.

 

The new National Association (NAFSIK) is composed by a group of scholars, researchers and PhD students interested in any subject area, including Korean Studies, Humanities, Social Sciences, Arts, Science, Engineering, and Medicine. The NAFSIK, as a multidisciplinary academic organisation, is also open to Korean scholars who are able to exercise their research in English. One of the roles of the NAFSIK, therefore, is to become a professional bridge between the foreign scholars working in Korea and the Korean government (the state agencies), in order to communicate and develop the practical strategies for the globalisation of Korean Studies or research from Korea.
