Greetings, and thank you for visiting the Institute for Future Strategy.
Institute for Future Strategy aims to be the nation's leading policy think tank, dedicated to addressing the future of the country and society. It conducts research on strategies and policies, seeks creative and innovative solutions, and plays a pivotal role in bridging the gap between today and tomorrow.
We do not merely focus on solving today's issues but also on preparing for future challenges. We strive to ensure that our research and proposals have a positive impact on both national and international communities, and we are committed to fostering continuous innovation and development in South Korea.
Currently, the Institute for Future Strategy operates six interdisciplinary research clusters on topics such as △ Changes in the Global Order and the Future of the Korean Peninsula, △ Issues of Low Birth Rates and Aging, △ Democracy, △ The Future of Science and Technology, △ Economic Security, and △ Carbon Neutrality. Additionally, we run multiple task forces (TFs) based on emerging societal issues, conducting cross-disciplinary creative policy research.
Moving forward, the Institute for Future Strategy will leverage the research infrastructure of Seoul National University, combining internal and external expertise in a cross-disciplinary manner. We will continue to select new fields critical to the country's future, focusing on intensive research and proposing practical strategies and policies.
The most important client of the Institute for Future Strategy is the nation. We will lay the foundation to provide essential reports and briefing materials to key decision-makers in the government, striving to become a central point in formulating national strategies and policies.
Based on expertise and creativity, the Institute for Future Strategy of Seoul National University will prepare for the future and do its best to create a better world through collaborative efforts with the nation's diverse stakeholders.
