Dear KDIS Students,  

？ ？   

Student Forum application for 2017 Fall Semester is now open! There is two more slots to create new forums for this semester.

To foster a liberal research environment and to maximize the human resources of KDI School, we have made promotion of the student forums.

“KDI School Student forum” is a student-driven gathering for academic research. It is a sort of a student club with academic features.

Registered forums will receive financial support from the School. Please read the instructions below for details.  

 

  

1. What is Student Forum?

• Students team up to form a research group by the REGION or POLICY area of interest
• Each research group will discuss and choose a thematic issue
• Perform various research activities – interview, seminar, conference, case study, literature review, data analysis, and so on.

 

 

1. How many forums can be approved?  

- 2 forum will be chosen after we review your application package. Below are the lists of the forums that will be likely to be opened in 2017 summer/spring semester. HOWEVER, these forums need to be “re-registered” with the forum registration form to continue your forum. But, the Student Affairs Division will give you the priority and save the spot until the deadline of by Sep.15.
