On July 14, 2016, the Sejong Institute invited a student delegation from the 2016 NEREC Summer Fellows Program and gave a special lecture on current international affairs, including the North Korean nuclear issue and the South China Sea dispute.

The NEREC Summer Fellows Program is widely open to any qualified students who have interests in international issues concerning the use of nuclear technology and various aspects of nuclear non-proliferation. The summer fellows program has been running since 2014, aiming to train and nurture non-proliferation human resources and conduct non-proliferation policy research combining technical expertise and policy insights.
