[Title] 2012 International Field Research and Study

 

Dear Korean Students,

 

During the summer break KDI School organizes the International Field Research and Study (IFRS) program for Korean students. As a fine tradition from 1998, IFRS aims to develop international experiences and perspectives of Korean students through visiting global companies and overseas universities.

 

IFRS this year assumes an even greater significance, in that it will be the first time to organize the event in cooperation with the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS), Japan. GRIPS is not only an esteemed graduate school educating domestic and international students in the field of public policy, but our Japanese partner in the CAMPUS Asia Program. We therefore believe this visit will make a unique experience that can help your study and further broaden your global perspective.

 

Moreover, we have decided to support 60% of the participation fee for general students (those who are not affiliated with any company or government). Please see below for details.
