On 12 December 2024, ASPI and South Korea’s Science and Technology Institute (STEPI) entered a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen institutional links between the two organisations within the field of science and technology policy.  
 
Signed by the heads of the two respective organisations, ASPI Executive Director Justin Bassi and STEPI President Dr Ji Woong Yoon, the MoU provides a formalised framework for the two institutions to build on an already strong cooperative relationship.  

This MoU enables the two institutions to exchange knowledge, engage in joint dialogues and pursue shared research within the areas of economic security, space policies, and policies related to critical and emerging technologies.
