The Center for Korean Studies was established in 2015 at the University of Ljubljana, with the kind support of the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS), the Korea Foundation (KF) and the Faculty of Arts. Our activities are continuously supported by the following institutions: the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS), the Korea Foundation (KF), the Literature Translation Institute of Korea (LTI) and the Arts Council Korea (ARKO); in the timeline abbreviations are used. We organize annual events, such as international symposia, Korean speech contests and film festivals and host special lectures by Korean laureates and scholars.

Our two main goals:

• contribution to deeper understanding of Korea among Slovenian and Central European citizens culturally and academically
