KIHASA

Established in 1970, KIHASA is one of the largest government-funded research bodies undertaking analysis on demography, social policy and social security systems, public health and welfare.

The School for Business and Society has a longstanding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with KIHASA, which was renewed in 2022, and the MOU facilitates collaboration around research, seminars and staff mobility.

Professor Neil Lunt, Associate Dean (Internationalisation) said, "KIHASA is Korea's leading social welfare research institute and York is one of a small number of institutions who have cooperation arrangements with them."
