Program
The orientation course provides with an introduction of Korean cultural heritage and the research projects of NRICH along with guides to living in Korea. During the period, each participant delivers a presentation about their institute, and study plan in Korea to share their knowledge and experience with our institute. Thereafter, the participants undertake individual research. Our professional staffs would help the participant to set out their research plan and methodology. In addition, all participants will be helped and supervised by a relevant staff from various divisions of NRICH while they are conducting the research. During the program, all participants will have several opportunities to visit heritage sites in order to enlighten their knowledge and experience in Korea. Individual fieldtrip regarding their research would be decided by each mentor according to necessity. On the final week of the program, participants will present their research outcomes. All participants may need to submit their final report which contains their research agenda, aims, and outcomes. All sessions and lectures will be delivered in English. NRICH provides the participants airline ticket for a round trip to Korea and living allowance which will cover the cost for accommodations and living expenses during the program. Health and accident insurance is no longer to be covered by NRICH, therefore all participants should have health and accident insurance for ACPCS before they participate in our program. Any expenses for medical treatment should be paid by the participants themselves.
