The project focuses on maintaining and further developing the Korea Fellow position within the Asia Research Center (ARC) of the Casimir Pulaski Foundation. The project includes conducting research and analysis on the Republic of Korea; organizing expert events, including panels, debates and roundtables, also as part of the Warsaw Security Forum; publishing policy papers, reports and multimedia materials; and building a network of contacts with South Korean institutions. The project will strengthen the CPF’s expertise in Asia and the Indo-Pacific, increase the visibility of Korea-related issues in the Polish public debate, support policymakers in making informed policy decisions, develop lasting international partnerships, and strengthen ARC institutionally as a strategic unit of the Foundation. The project will also include the promotion of its activities and results in the media, as well as recognition of the support provided by the donors.

The project’s substantive partner is the Ilmin International Relations Institute (Seoul, Republic of Korea). The project is implemented with the support of a dedicated grant from the Korea Foundation, which has supported the Casimir Pulaski Foundation since 2025, and, until March 31, 2027, with co-financing from the National Institute of Freedom – Center for Civil Society Development as part of the Government Programme for Civil Society Organisations Development (Priority 1B – Grants for Own Contribution).
