InterRidge Main Office
The InterRidge Office rotates among Principal member nations. Any of the Principal member nations of InterRidge may bid to host the Office. Received bids are reviewed by the Steering Committee and a new host country is chosen.
Presently, the InterRidge Office is hosted in Korea by InterRidge Korea, an organization formed under Seoul National University (SNU) to take responsibility for budget management and administration of the program. Prof. Sang-Mook Lee at SNU is the Chair of the program. Seongjun Kyle Park (seongjun.kyle.park@gmail.com) is the InterRidge Logistics Coordinator since 1st January 2020.
