The Korea Polar Research Institute that was launched in a small research laboratory in 1987 has realized a great deal of qualitative and quantitative achievements since its affiliation in 2004. Moreover, the status as a permanent observer in the Arctic Council was obtained in 2013 based on the research achievements realized until today while expanding the detail and scope of research from the Antarctic to the Arctic. At such point in time, KOPRI intends to construct the effective system for the operation, management, and crisis response of large-scale infrastructure like the icebreaker ARAON, the Antarctic King Sejong Station, the Arctic Dasan Station and Jang Bogo Antarctic Research Station and in line with this, it aims to plan and execute research projects that derive research outcome on the international level and match well with the social demand of the nation.
