20th Anniversary of IJS

Institute for Japanese Studies in Seoul National University will celebrate its 20th Anniversary this November.

Institute for Japanese Studies, which began its activities in 2004, was able to become the best-performing overseas research institute at Seoul National University thanks to the support and participation of many people during the first 10 years.

Moreover, based on these achievements, we have been able to establish ourselves as a representative Japanese research institute in Korea over the past decade through various initiatives that led Korea's Japanese research. We contributed to the establishment of future-oriented Korea-Japan relations by presenting a new Japanese research paradigm.

As a result, to mark the 20th Anniversary, Institute for Japanese Studies has prepared various programs to look back on the footsteps of the past 20 years in 2024 and to hear advice and suggestions for the new decade.

We deeply appreciate everyone who has shown great interest and support to The Institute for Japanese Studies, and we ask for your continued interest and encouragement so that our Institute for Japanese Studies is not satisfied with the past achievements and can become a research institute that dynamically pioneers the path of leap through new challenges.
