Who we are
EPAK was founded on 30 January 2025 by Ethiopian professionals living in Korea — professors, postdoctoral researchers, PhD candidates and industry experts — to create one place where we can connect, collaborate and grow.
We operate as a non-profit, non-political and non-religious, member-driven association governed by a constitution and guided by a five-year strategic plan.
What we do
🎓
Workshops, seminars and training that build members' expertise and competitiveness in their fields.
🤝
Partnerships with universities, industry, NGOs, the Ethiopian Embassy in Korea and ESAK.
💡
Joint research, publications and innovation projects relevant to Ethiopia, Korea and beyond.
🌍
A supportive community, cultural exchange, and representation of members' needs in both countries.
