Vision

Establishment of a Dept. of Intersectional Unification Studies

We perform comprehensive, multidisciplinary studies in preparation for unification, using a systematic approach to the integration process between the North and South. We aim to construct an integrated model through an analytical survey of North Korean society and the variations within it.

Establishment of ‘Korean Peace Studies’

By establishing Peace and Humanities Studies, we present a new paradigm of Peace Studies, propose peace within the context of unification, and seek the expansion of peace culture at the global level.

Strengthening Next- Generation Unification and Peace Research

We aim to develop various educational series to foster future generations of scholars who can establish a continuous virtuous cycle of research and education that can contribute back to society through the clear communication of research results.

Seoul National University Unification Research on Infrastructure Construction

We aim to organize a ‘SNU Unification Research Network’ by acting as a focal point for exchanges and cooperation among research institutes related to North Korea and unification within SNU, such as the Unification Medical Center, the Unification Law Center, the Unification Education Research Center, the North Korea Nutrition Policy Support Office, and the North Korea-Overseas Agricultural Research Institute.

Unification Studies, Constructing a Peace Studies Global Network

By establishing a bilateral exchange program between the [SNU International Peace Network] and the [Northeast Asia Cooperation Network], we will internationalize unification research and enrich a global network of Peace Studies on the Korean Peninsula.
