Norway-Korea Research Networking Event

06.11.2023 - 07.11.2023

Location: Yonsei University, Seoul, Sør-Korea, Asia

Introduction 

The Norwegian Embassy in Seoul in cooperation with the Norwegian Ministry of Education & Research and Research Council of Norway is hosting its first annual research networking event. In 2021, the Norwegian government made South-Korea one of its key focal countries under its Panorama Strategy to promote collaboration in science and academia. This event is for Norwegian and Korean participants from research institutes, universities, and business to present ongoing research and projects, and network and connect under central themes. A mix of presentation of research, panel discussions and workshops will give participants a perfect opportunity to understand the ongoing collaborative environment and establish new partnerships.

Goals of the event 

  1. To create a meeting place and network opportunity under common themes for Korean and Norwegian research institutes, academic institutions, and businesses. 
  2. Present ongoing research projects to share knowledge and insights. 
  3. Identify new opportunities for closer cooperation within research, innovation, and higher education. 
  4. Help stimulate increased student mobility between Norway and South Korea by facilitating sharing of needs, challenges, and opportunities among universities in both countries.
  5. Increase the awareness of Norwegian and Korean stipends and grants available for researchers as well as students looking to go on exchange.
