The International Scholar Exchange Fellowship (ISEF) program, initiated in 2000, is designed to invite distinguished scholars from abroad to South Korea to dedicate themselves to academic research. Each year, approximately 10 international scholars are invited to stay in Korea for either one year or six months, providing them the opportunity to collaborate with Korean scholars at local universities and research institutes. The program also enhances the scholars' understanding of South Korea through cultural tours and seminars, and fosters exchanges among visiting scholars.
