US military funding agency visit


A very interesting meeting was held on Friday, Nov 15th at the N Center, between the BME/CNIR researchers and delegates from the US military research funding agencies. The visitors represented all three services of the US armed force -- Air Force, Navy and Army. Many were based outside US, notably in Japan. Apparently they were on their way to visit a few different research institutes in Korea to promote funding opportunities for international collaboration and research support in basic sciences. A 45 min meeting with the PIs in the N Center was followed by a tour of the CNIR facilities, led by the Department Chairman Prof. J-Y Park. Kindly, Prof. J-W Son arranged the whole visit and drove many of the guests from Seoul to the SKKU campus in the morning.
