About Indian Students and Researchers in Korea (ISRK)

ISRK is a non-profit voluntary organization to support Indian origin researchers and students in South Korea started in 2019. The idea was to bring all Indian students and researchers in Korea under a single platform promoting unity among the community as a whole and to support and help the community in academic and professional areas. Our key objectives include

• Education & research: Assisting and guiding through opportunities in higher studies and research in Korea. We have conducted six webinars in last one year to help Indian students specially from smaller towns to learn about Ph.D. and Post Docs programs in South Korea

• Job opportunities: Assisting researchers in finding job opportunities in academia and industries in Korea. More than 40 researchers were able to find jobs in Korea on our efforts.

• Community support during Covid-19: Assisting students in various situations during Covid-19. We have supported researchers to travel from India to Korea through five chartered flights and assisting them in getting visas and quarantine places during their travel. We have distributed facemasks and sanitizers to various researchers in Korea. More than 2000 people till now benefited from our efforts

• Indian culture and events: Creating a ‘Home away from Home’ for Indian students and the researcher’s community in Korea by celebrating the rich range of Indian culture and festivals through events, workshops, and activities. We have partnered with SPICMACAY to promote Indian Culture in South Korea
