May, 2021 Guideline for Use of Research Activity Funds 【Introduction】 ① Funds for research activities are from the national treasury (based on national tax), and suitable use is obligatory. Purchases for personal items and misappropriation, requests for personal travel expenses, and fabricated business trips will not only lead to a request for the return of funds, but students may even be subject to punishment. In addition, an audit of expenditures may be required with student cooperation for the explanation of expenses. ② The submission deadline is strictly adhered to. In the case of late submission, please note that the expense usage will not be approved. Please submit the application form for research activity expenses by e-mail to your research supervisor or your main supervisor (hereinafter referred to as your "academic advisor"). Also, please submit it to the School Affairs Office / person in charge of research activity expenses. ③ Research expenses can only be used for expenses approved by your academic advisor as research activities.
