The visitors program is designed to attract national and international scholars for short- to medium-duration residencies at SNU. Short-term residencies can be anywhere from two weeks to three months and can be arranged at short notice with a minimum of formalities. Residencies with duration of four months to a year require a brief research proposal and letters of support. The visitors program is intended to provide a vibrant pool of talent for cross-fertilization of ideas across various disciplines related to informatics.
