SKKU Leads Korean Basic Science

Sungkyunkwan University's (SKKU) Department of Energy Science Prof. Young Hee Lee was appointed as Research Director of the newly established Institute for Basic Science (IBS). 50 top researchers in basic sciences from Korea and around the world will also be appointed as directors and they will lead 3,000 researchers to conduct research in basic sciences during the next 10 years.

The IBS was established in November of last year with the aim to create a platform to become a world leading research institute. Since then, IBS has adopted the "person-centered" appraisal system in which IBS selects qualified directors based on their scientific qualifications and fully supports the directors' research projects. IBS will be based at the International Science Business Center that will be established in Daejeon, Korea by 2017.

SKKU signed on MOU with IBS last November for cooperation in following areas: กใ Nano-structural physics research กใ Posting adjunct professors as researchers for active research and study กใ Building and managing advanced infrastructure (including research lab and facilities) กใ Effective management of research centers.

The president of SKKU, Prof. Jun Young Kim said: "due to the agreement we signed with IBS, SKKU will step forward to the advanced level of the Nano structural physics field and build academic research careers that are world class."
