Joint Research Projects

The ILCAA supports joint research projects in which domestic and international researchers can participate, and research activities are conducted using the Institute’s facilities, materials, and human resources. This brings together experts in diverse fields to generate new academic knowledge through joint research.

The Institute solicits new joint research proposals each year and provides financial and material support for selected projects. Research results are shared widely with the academic community through symposia, workshops, lectures, and publications.
