We propose to convene and develop a new and sustainable UK-South Korea Eyewitness Memory Research Network that will facilitate critical social science research and innovation and protect against security threats both in the UK and the Indo-Pacific region. The UK-South Korea Eyewitness Memory Network will deliver collaborations that will have significant and enduring impacts on social science theory and practice, and early career researchers. Drawing on the expertise and wider networks of the investigators, the Network will focus on two key strands of research that address critical investigation and security challenges: increasing lineup identification accuracy and reliability, and improving investigative interviews with eyewitnesses, victims, and sources, to enhance intelligence gathering, statements, and testimony. The investigators in the UK and South Korea are leading psychological scientists, senior as well as early career, who are well networked and have overlapping research interests in eyewitness memory. Their complementary research and methodological expertise will catalyze cutting-edge world-leading research on eyewitness memory, which plays a key role in apprehending guilty suspects, obtaining intelligence to prevent crimes and recover evidence, and elicit information about security threats, as examples. The Network will stimulate high quality cross-context research and knowledge transfer between UK and South Korean researchers and legal practitioners (e.g., security professionals, police). The objectives will be achieved through reciprocal research visits, holding an academic conference, and external engagement activities (e.g., a dedicated website in English and Korean, social media presence) that will facilitate connectivity, partnerships, and a collaborative research agenda.

我们建议召集和开发一个新的，可持续的英国韩国目击者记忆研究网络，该网络将促进批判性的社会科学研究和创新，并保护英国和印度太平洋地区的安全威胁。英国南方的目击者记忆网络将提供对社会科学理论和实践以及早期职业研究人员产生重大且持久影响的合作。该网络借鉴了研究人员的专业知识和更广泛的网络，将重点关注两个关键研究和安全挑战的关键研究：提高阵容的识别准确性和可靠性，并改善对目击者，受害者和来源的调查访谈，以增强智力收集，陈述和证词。英国和韩国的调查人员是领先的心理科学家，高级职业和早期职业，他们网络良好，对目击者记忆的研究兴趣重叠。他们的互补研究和方法论专业知识将催化有关目击者记忆的尖端世界领先的研究，该研究在逮捕有罪嫌疑犯，获得智力以防止犯罪和恢复证据，并引起有关安全威胁的信息，作为示例。该网络将刺激英国与韩国研究人员和法律从业人员（例如安全专业人员，警察）之间的高质量跨境研究和知识转移。这些目标将通过相互研究的访问，举行学术会议以及外部参与活动（例如，英语和韩国的专门网站，社交媒体的存在）来实现，这将促进连通性，合作伙伴关系和协作研究议程。
