The Institute of Ibero-American programs of study at Seoul National University has appointed Ignacio Arellano, director of GRISO, as academic advisor for faculty qualifications at this South Korean university.

Two years ago, the previous director of this high school, Kim Choon-Jin, made a research stay at the University of Navarra, invited by the GRISO, and later, in April 2010, Professor Arellano was invited to give the plenary lecture at the opening of the international congress organized by the Seoul National University.

The appointment will allow for the continuation and development of relations between the two institutions.
