Appendix. NEREC Summer Fellows Program 2018
In March 2014, the Korean government established an academic think tank called the Nuclear Nonproliferation Education and Research Center (NEREC) to undertake education and research to foster international nuclear nonproliferation conducive to the peaceful use of nuclear technology. The Center has three objectives: (1) to train and nurture nonproliferation human resources, (2) to conduct nonproliferation policy research combining technical expertise and policy insights, and (3) to lead discussions on the peaceful use of nuclear technology and various aspects of nuclear nonproliferation.
As a major part of the Center’s annual activities, NEREC runs a Summer Fellows Program for undergraduate and graduate students. For the last four years, around 99 students from top-notch universities in various countries including the United States, Singapore, Sweden, Vietnam, India, Nigeria as well as Korea were selected as Fellows. The had a wonderful summer experience of studying and doing research on nuclear nonproliferation, while experiencing Korean culture.
