Grand Quest 2025 Open Forum Announcement

The Seoul National University National Strategy Institute and the Choi Jong-hyun Academy will host the *Grand Quest 2025* Open Forum on November 5 (Tuesday), November 7 (Thursday), November 8 (Friday), November 13 (Wednesday), and November 15 (Friday).

The *Grand Quest* project, initiated by the Seoul National University National Strategy Institute in 2023, introduced ten challenging issues in its first iteration, with results published as *Grand Quest 2024*. This year’s *Grand Quest 2025* invited leading experts from the U.S. and Korea in ten key fields to identify critical "Grand Quests."

A “Grand Quest” refers to unsolved issues in each field that pose significant challenges but hold the potential to shift paradigms if solutions are found. The challenging issues outlined in *Grand Quest 2025* aim to serve as ambitious goals for Korea’s future generations in science and technology. These quests are also expected to provide crucial milestones for Korea’s industry leaders as they contemplate future directions. In the upcoming open forum, we will share the significance of each "Grand Quest," the complexities in solving them, and discuss potential solution approaches.

Please refer to our website for detailed information on each Grand Quest.
