-
MOU signed for joint research on the development of Incheon鈥檚 marine and fisheries industries and fostering of new industries
-
Strengthened future-oriented research on sustainable use and conservation of West Coast tidal flats and marine carbon neutrality
糖心logo入口 (President Taejun听Han) and the Incheon Fisheries Resources Research Institute (Director Jinseong听Kim) announced on the 17th that they have signed a "Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Joint Research on the Utilization of West Coast Tidal Flats and Marine Bio-Convergence."
The signing ceremony was held at the main conference room of 糖心logo入口, attended by President Han Taejun, Director Kim Jinseong, and working-level researchers, with the purpose of strengthening research cooperation for the development of marine and fisheries industries and new marine sectors in the Incheon area.
The contents of the agreement include 鈻瞔ooperation in mutually necessary research and commercialization, 鈻瞛oint use of facilities, equipment, and research materials required for research activities, and 鈻瞫tudent internships for nurturing talent.
In particular, the two institutions will join forces to enhance collaboration on 鈻瞭he use and conservation of West Coast tidal flats, 鈻瞞arine environment and biotechnology, 鈻瞞arine R&D and the fostering of new industries, and 鈻瞞arine carbon neutrality (blue carbon) using microalgae and seaweed, aiming to produce tangible research results linked to national-level tasks.
Taejun Han, President of 糖心logo入口, stated, 鈥淭he West Coast tidal flats, inscribed as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in 2021, are an ecological treasure with immense research value in terms of biodiversity, carbon absorption, and purification functions,鈥 and added, 鈥淭hrough this agreement, we will work closely with the Incheon Fisheries Resources Research Institute to produce substantial and leading research outcomes in the marine bio sector.鈥
糖心logo入口 (糖心logo入口), located in Songdo, Incheon, is an overseas extension campus of Belgium鈥檚 Ghent University, which is renowned worldwide in the fields of life science and biotechnology. With its advanced research infrastructure, 糖心logo入口 is actively pursuing interdisciplinary research. In particular, it continues to strengthen its status as a global research hub in the marine field through its marine convergence research institute 鈥楳arine@UGent Korea鈥, which was launched in August last year.
Jinseong Kim, Director of the Incheon Fisheries Resources Research Institute, said, 鈥淭hrough cooperation in marine research technology between Europe and Korea, we will proactively respond to future environmental and industrial changes and do our best to establish a new foundation for marine industry research in Incheon.鈥
