Sun-Ju Ahn, a Professor at Department of Biophysics, Contributed to the Establishment of Pandemic Response Organization in ISO that Leads the International Standardization of K-quarantine
An organization to respond to the infectious diseases such as COVID-19 was established in the International Standardization Organization(ISO), led by the Korean government.
This project has been implemented after the Trade, Industry, and Energy Minister Yun-mo Sung requested ISO Chairman Edward Nijoroji to establish the organization dedicated to standardizing pandemic responses at the “K-quarantine International Webinar” held on June 2020.
SKKU’s professor Sun-Ju Ahn participated in several meetings to set the scope of the work and the name of the working group. After a month of international voting, it has been confirmed to establish the organization.
Minister Sung said “With the establishment of organization for pandemic response, the international standardization of the K-quarantine model has been able to speed up. And we will actively support the international community by establishing international standards that can be immediately used by the new organization.”
