A government-funded research center may be set up in accordance with “The Regulation on the Establishment and Operation of Government-funded Research Centers at Seoul National University,” whereby projects with a total budget of 400 million won or more and a research duration of 5 years or longer are eligible. At SNU, there are currently 34 government-funded research centers in operation, with the KEKA being the only one in the humanities and social sciences. The KEKA will be operational from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2026. Cho, Young-Jun, a professor of economics at Seoul National University’s College of Social Sciences, has been named the center’s director.
