History of KISEAS
The KISEAS traces its roots back to December 1990, when a group of eight young political scientists specializing in Southeast Asian studies established it. Over time, the group grew to include 40 scholars and 25 post-graduate students, all of whom were studying Southeast Asian studies by December 2003. The KISEAS was officially registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in March 2004.
In 2020, the KISEAS merged with the Korean Association of Southeast Asian Studies (KASEAS) in order to enhance networking opportunities among researchers and to effectively utilize research capabilities and resources held separately by the two institutions. Despite the merger, KISEAS maintains its unique functions and identity, as well as its proud 30-year tradition, while also exploring ways to promote Southeast Asian studies in Korea.
