The Center for Intangible Culture Studies (CICS)

Who Are We?

The Center for Intangible Culture Studies (CICS) was established in order to promote safeguarding activities of and encourage research regarding intangible cultural heritage (ICH) in 2013. CICS puts special efforts into discovering measures for protecting and preserving ICH with academic concerns and in-depth understanding of its distinctive characteristics. Due to the rapid and complicated transformations of modern society and culture, ICH continually faces threats of disappearance and distortion. CICS has been involved in many fruitful tasks such as research, inventorying and publishing. Furthermore, CICS is also developing educational programs for safeguarding ICH and its creative applications. CICS is now moving forward to ICH safeguarding initiatives in Korean academic and public arenas. Our goal is to contribute to society through productive activities, welcome to our YouTube channel!
