For decades, SNU has been recognized as a world-class institution known for solving complex problems. The Grand Quest Initiative marks a new chapter: SNU now steps forward as an agenda setter—proactively posing the hard questions that academia has yet to confront.
A Grand Quest is not a research topic. It's a question that disrupts entrenched assumptions, confronts the limits of existing knowledge, and embraces the risk of failure in pursuit of something genuinely new.
