Dear KDIS Students, 

 

Make plans to attend the Student Forum program during the Fall semester. In order to foster a liberal research environment, as well as to maximize the human resources available at KDI School, we have produced promotions for the student forums. Through the student forum, the school was able to reach its aims regarding the bigger picture of political and international development

 

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

Student Forum application for 2019 Fall Semester is now open, there is only one slot to create a new forum for this semester.

 

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