Korea Foundation Opportunities

The fellowship supports Korea-related research in the humanities, social sciences, culture and arts, including recognized emerging research areas closely connected to Korea. Field research may take place between 1 January and 31 December 2027 for one to six months, with research starting no later than 30 November 2027. Applicants must secure an affiliate scholar and host institution in Korea themselves.

Applicants must be active outside Korea and meet the current Type A or Type B criteria. Type A covers doctoral candidates who completed coursework and are writing their dissertation. Type B covers full-time university lecturers/professors or research/professional personnel holding a PhD. The current call also sets foreign-citizenship/permanent-residency rules and excludes certain recent or concurrent Korean public-institution research support.
