Humanities and Social Sciences Research Institute Support Project
Introduction to Humanities and Social Sciences Research Institute Support Project
Established with support from the Korea Research Foundation's Social Science Support Project (SSK), the Center for Intelligence Information Technology and Social Issues Research at Korea University has been conducting research for the past 10 years through small-scale 3-year, medium-scale 3-year, and large-scale 4-year projects aimed at addressing social issues caused by intelligence information technology. After successfully completing the project, the Center for Intelligence Information Technology and Social Issues Research aimed to expand research themes to the institute level for further advancement. Therefore, the Information Culture Research Institute was selected for the Humanities and Social Sciences Research Institute Support Project, supported by the Korea Research Foundation from September 2023 to August 2029, and began research on the theme "Issues of Intelligence Information Technology and Individual Organizational Society: Diagnosis and Solutions" (Research Director: Professor Kim Sungchul, Institute Director: Professor Jung Yunhyuk).
