□ 7 assignments in Department of System Management Engineering (Dean: Mye SON) of College of Engineering (Dean: Sung Jin SONG) have been selected for the second half of 2016 Natural Science Basic Research Project, which indicates the largest tasks obtained by a single college.
□ The goals of Research Foundation’s Natural Science Basic Research Project are; support individual basic research, development of nation’s research ability through expansion of research infrastructure, activation of creative research, and more. The business expense is about 340 billion won / year.
□ For this project, the Department of System Management Engineering showed the highest rate of acceptance where all applicants have been selected (5 faculty for basic research, 2 for research fellow)
□ Prof. Jong Seok LEE who has been nominated for one of the assignments expressed his feeling as “It is very rare case that all faculties who applied to the project have been selected. This would be the momentum needed to develop our research ability one step further.”
