New Frontiers in Scientific Innovation
International Symposium on New Frontiers in Scientific Innovation

2014.07.08

Korea Foundation for Advanced Studies (KFAS) successfully hosted the “International Symposium on New Frontiers in Scientific Innovation” on July 8. The symposium was jointly organized with The Chosun Ilbo. In addition to two world renowned keynote speakers, twelve internationally authoritative scientists who received scholarship for their Ph.D. course from the Korea Foundation for Advanced Studies joined the symposium as speakers.
More than 1,200 people in related fields across the country registered for the symposium, including scholars, students, and government officials. As the Conference Hall at the KFAS building filled up quickly, more than 400 people from the audience had to watch the symposium via broadcasting on a screen from another hall. Most of the audience kept their seats throughout the eight-hour symposium, showing their zeal for science. The symposium was appraised as an opportunity to think ahead to a sustainable future with a better understanding of the renewed role of science and technology.
