Mission & Goals
Korea, Europe and You (KEY) is an action-oriented international think tank that works with global partners to foster convergence between Korea and Europe, bringing together leaders and innovators from business, culture, academia, and the public sector. In an era of geopolitical fragmentation and rapid transformation, KEY advances shared knowledge, develops concrete initiatives, and pursues cross-regional and cross-cultural collaboration, building resilient bridges, promoting mutual understanding, and co-creating sustainable and future-oriented solutions.
EU Legislative Interests
KEY engages in activities aimed at contributing to policy discussions related to EU–Republic of Korea relations. In this context, it focuses on a number of EU policy frameworks and initiatives, including: - The implementation and development of the EU–Korea Free Trade Agreement (FTA) - Broader EU trade policy and its external dimension - Relevant aspects of the European Green Deal - EU digital and industrial policy frameworks - EU Strategy for Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific Through the organisation of policy dialogues, roundtables and exchanges involving stakeholders from EU institutions, industry and academia, KEY contributes to discussions on the implementation and implications of these policies. These activities aim to facilitate mutual understanding and may inform ongoing policy reflections and cooperation between the EU and the Republic of Korea.
Communication Activities
KEY organises events, roundtables and expert discussions involving stakeholders from academia, industry and public institutions to facilitate exchange on EU–Republic of Korea relations and related policy developments. Its activities include policy dialogues, workshops and conferences in Brussels and other European locations, as well as online events. KEY may also contribute to analytical outputs and knowledge-sharing formats (e.g. briefings, summaries or collaborative reflections) linked to its discussions. These communication activities aim to foster mutual understanding of EU policy frameworks and their implications, support stakeholder engagement, and encourage cross-regional cooperation.
