The Seoul Metropolitan Government has introduced the "STEM Talent Growth Housing" program to reduce the financial burden on graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. This initiative provides rental housing with monthly costs set at 30% to 50% of the current market price. By offering significantly discounted rates, the city aims to support the stability of researchers specializing in science and engineering. The program is designed to attract and retain high-level academic talent within the city. Eligible applicants can apply through the city's housing portal. This marks the first time Seoul has implemented a targeted housing supply specifically for the STEM academic community. The city expects this measure to foster a more productive research environment by alleviating housing insecurity.
