Index Live: Growing Korean Research Performance in an Uncertain World

South Korea has consistently been among the highest spenders in the world on research and development as a percentage of GDP. It has also thrived through a unique model of collaboration between academia and industry that has fostered innovation. However, it now finds itself at a critical juncture: international collaboration in science is in flux due to the pandemic and geopolitical tensions; Korea’s youth population is in decline threatening its future pool of researcher talent; and there is doubt that funding and innovation can continue at previous levels. Featuring insights from the Nature Index and experts in global and Korean science policy, this half-day event will seek to explore how these challenges can be addressed and, in doing so, put Korea on a firm footing to achieve success as one of the world’s most important drivers of science and innovation.   .responsive-img { display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%; height: auto; }
