Professor David William Kim, Director of the Korea Institute of Future Astronauts (KIFA), a Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland and founder and former president of the National Association of Foreign Scholars in Korea (NAFSIK), along with NAFSIK executive member Doruk İriş (Sogang University), Alena Kulinich (Seoul National University), Olga Shvetsova (Korea University of Technology and Education), and Angelita Cruz (Keimyung University), to organize and host the “2nd NAFSIK International Interdisciplinary Academic Conference 2026.” This conference was organized to share the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) International Exchange Division’s strategy for the globalization of Korean research and to explore ways to strengthen the competitiveness of Korean higher education and research in the era of QS and THE world university rankings.
Approximately 100 international faculty members from 45 universities across the country, including Yonsei University, Korea University, KAIST, Seoul National University, POSTECH, Pusan National University, Kookmin University, Sogang University, Sungkyunkwan University, Incheon National University, Kangwon National University, and DGIST, attended this international academic conference.
Participants presented and discussed international research findings across a wide range of academic fields, including Korean Studies, Law, Medicine, Economics, Social Sciences, Education, Arts and Humanities, Engineering, Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences, and Management and Entrepreneurship. They also took the opportunity to exchange expert opinions on the National Research Foundation of Korea’s policy regarding the recruitment of foreign professors and to strengthen the foundation for academic cooperation.
The NAFSIK International Interdisciplinary Academic Conference 2026 served as a platform to introduce systematic research support programs for long-term visiting foreign researchers, moving beyond the traditional focus on language education—such as English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese—and highlighting the role of international scholars in contributing to the globalization of higher education in Korea. In particular, it provided participants with an opportunity to introduce the International Academic Fund Network through interdisciplinary research achievements and to establish future collaborative relationships.
