Greetings from the President of KADIA

Welcome to all members of KADIA.

Since its foundation in 1999, the Korean Association of Deans of International Affairs or KADIA, has contributed to the internationalization of universities through various kinds of research and discussions through international exchanges and cooperation with experts.

Unfortunately, much of that has come to a halt as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are all now facing myriad of difficulties and obstacles, but fortunately, with challenges come opportunities. Although there have been rapid changes in our daily lives on numerous levels, the Fourth Industrial Revolution in which we live promises to bring about exciting new technologies. As a result, KADIA will actively seek to open various forums to systematically respond to various international affairs amid COVID-19, while working to enhance our ability to effectively address issues arising in universities to meet the contemporary needs and changing lifestyles of our patrons.

Finally, KADIA would like to build an online forum where we are able to cooperate more through collective intelligence. Your active participation and new suggestions are always welcomed so please feel free to share any input.

We wish you the best in 2021 and thank you for your continued interest.
