Korea Institute of Basic Science strengthens cooperation with Japan and Germany, attracts research base to follow RIKEN, etc. = South Korean report

Around April, Korea's Institute of Basic Sciences (IBS), which was established with the goal of cultivating excellent research and development capabilities at the level of the Nobel Prize, announced that it would be joining forces with the Max Planck Institute, a German medical research institute.
Signed a business partnership agreement with. Thereafter, the plan is to attract the second natural science research center in Asia, following Japan's RIKEN (hereinafter referred to as RIKEN), to both Germany and South Korea by 2025.
It's a painting. The Eon Accelerator Research Institute will also strengthen its cooperation by conducting experiments using equipment developed by the RIKEN Nishina Accelerator Science Research Center.
IBS says, ``The Max Planck Institute is the only institution in Asia located exclusively at RIKEN.
If the establishment of the institute becomes a reality, it will be significant in that it will be recognized as an official partner of the institute. "We plan to take advantage of the strengths of German medicine."
IBS will strengthen joint research with RIKEN, centering on the Exotic Nuclear Research Team and the Heavy Eon Accelerator Laboratory.
Japanese and Korean research institutes plan to install a neutron detector at IBS's heavy Eon accelerator "RAON" in Japan and begin research this year.
. It is significant that the equipment developed in advance can be utilized in Japan before the high-energy accelerator, which has not yet been constructed at RAON, is completed.
Hong Seung-moo, director of the Heavy Eon Accelerator Research Institute, said, ``The plan is to allow both countries to jointly utilize detectors made at Korean universities.''
