The agreement includes: ▲ scientific conservation treatment of relics excavated from Korean War fallen soldiers; ▲ joint use of facilities and equipment for scientific investigation and research on the relics; ▲ technical and personnel exchanges, consultation, and joint academic activities for relic conservation; and ▲ cooperation in sharing information related to relics and conservation treatment, promoting achievements, and securing budgets.
As part of a government collaboration project between the Cultural Heritage Administration and the Ministry of National Defense, the institute has preserved approximately 1,300 relics excavated from the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) since 2020. Since the conclusion of the collaboration project in 2023, the institute has continued to preserve items that require urgent conservation or are large and technically demanding.
