  5. The Academy of Korean Studies - http://intl.aks.ac.kr/english/portal.php - Since its establishment in 1978, the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS) has made conspicuous achievements in the field of Korean studies by conducting in-depth research and education on Korean culture. Thus, it has grown as a prominent academic research institute that attracts attention both in and out of the country. The Academy’s research achievements are now widely used as a basis of a new momentum towards a promising future of the country as well as the academic world.  Korea has achieved rapid growth within a relatively short period of time and is now playing important roles in the international community as a member of the OECD and a hosting country of the G20 Summit in 2010. On the contrary, the overall development of people’s mindset and the ethical criteria or norms of social behavior held by them has not been as smooth. In order to take Korea beyond its fulfilled dream of becoming a developed country to a country with mature social environment as well as economic prosperity that can be a new example for others to follow, we believe a new, advanced values established upon the Korean cultural identity should be settled. The AKS will do its best to indicate desirable directions for the country through the academic studies that it carries out, with the focus on shedding light on the country’s past, present, and future, and to provide a venue for academic learning that will lay the theoretical basis for a country with mature values whose cultural prestige matches its industrial development.
