Twenty-two new science and engineering institutes have been selected this year as "University Infrastructure Research Institute" which will be promoted as a research hub for universities.
MINISTRY OF EDUCATION announced the result of its selection of "University Infrastructure Research Institute" in the field of science and engineering together with the Korea Research Foundation and the Korea Basic Science Support Institute.
The project to support the university's research center is aimed at increasing young researchers and strengthening the overall research capabilities of universities by designating a subsidiary research center that will be a research hub for universities.
The selected research institutes will hire full-time researchers and research assistants to carry out their research and foster up-and-coming researchers specialized in the field. A total of 92 university-focused laboratories are operating this year, including those that were previously selected and continue to receive support.
Research Center for Advanced Materials Technology, Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) is selected (PI Nae-Eung Lee, School of Advanced Materials Science & Engineering), and 700 million won annually will be supported up to nine years.
"In order for universities to become globally competitive, we need to make more efforts to improve their academic research capabilities" and "I will do my best to contribute to enhancing the competitiveness of science and engineering research in universities." said Lee Seung-bok, an administrator of university studies policy in the MINISTRY OF EDUCATION.
