“It was a genuine privilege to be able to share my thoughts in such excellent company. I particularly enjoyed discussions with fellow panelists and I very much hope that EPIK will continue to provide an open forum for young thinkers and promote the exchange of new ideas. My personal thanks goes to the EPIK Committee, Ms. Song Joo Kim and Ms. Hye Young Baek of the EAI for their hard work and enthusiasm.”

"EPIK Conference was a fabulous opportunity for IR students, like myself, to present his/her work in front of the panel from other profound universities around the world. In particular, thorough comments from professors of the EPIK committee was of immense help in giving me that extra push to further improve my paper. This valuable experience had most certainly made me go one step further in my academic career."
