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.

我们建议召集和发展一个新的和可持续的英国-韩国目击者记忆研究网络，这将促进关键的社会科学研究和创新，并防止英国和印度-太平洋地区的安全威胁。英国-韩国目击者记忆网络将提供合作，对社会科学理论和实践以及早期职业研究人员产生重大而持久的影响。该网络利用调查人员的专业知识和更广泛的网络，将重点放在解决关键调查和安全挑战的两个关键研究领域：提高列队识别的准确性和可靠性，并改善与目击者，受害者和消息来源的调查访谈，以加强情报收集，陈述和证词。英国和韩国的调查人员都是顶尖的心理科学家，有资深的，也有职业生涯初期的，他们有很好的网络，在目击者记忆方面有着重叠的研究兴趣。他们的互补研究和方法专业知识将促进关于目击者记忆的世界领先的前沿研究，这在逮捕犯罪嫌疑人，获取情报以防止犯罪和恢复证据以及获取有关安全威胁的信息方面发挥着关键作用。该网络将促进英国和韩国研究人员与法律的从业人员（例如，保安人员、警察）。这些目标将通过相互研究访问、举行学术会议和外部参与活动（例如，一个英文和韩文的专门网站，社交媒体存在），这将促进连通性，伙伴关系和合作研究议程。
