Daewoo Foundation is a Korean foundation focused on advancing and promoting fundamental scholarship. Through its academic programs, it supports researchers, shares scholarly knowledge, and creates opportunities for public engagement with research and ideas. Its offerings include academic research grants, with regular funding calls for scholars, and the Daewoo Academic Book series, which publishes works across fields such as the social sciences and humanities. The foundation also presents the Daewoo Classics series, bringing influential works of thought to readers.

To connect scholarship with wider audiences, Daewoo Foundation publishes Knowledge Horizon, a journal exploring topics such as the place of Korean culture in the world, and hosts D’talks civic lectures on subjects including technology inspired by living systems. Its “After Completing Research” feature introduces research findings and projects, while notices and FAQs provide information about its programs. The foundation also shares updates through an online newsletter and supports public access to its work through its website and YouTube channel.
