Unlike the degree-seeking track, this program offers foreign researchers holding at least a Master's-level qualification a non-degree research stay of 6 months or 1 year. Official information states that citizens of any country in the world may apply to this R&D/research track, meaning Uzbekistan citizens are fully eligible; the requirement is to secure a formal invitation from a NIIED-recognized Korean university and to hold non-Korean citizenship.
