============

Dear All,

You are undoubtedly aware that the University was selected in 2011 as 
the strategic partner in Europe for the Global Industry Academia 
Cooperation Programme of the Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy (MKE) 
and the Korea Institute for the Advancement of Technology (KIAT).  The 
objective of the Programme is to foster joint research activities and 
the commercialisation of their outcomes between Korean small and medium 
sized enterprises and the partner university.

So far, ten feasibility studies for six month periods involving Korean 
SMEs and the University have been funded by MKE/KIAT, and three of these 
have recently been announced  by MKE as full joint research and 
development projects between Korean SMEs and Strathclyde, funded to the 
order of £830,000 per project.

In recognition of the significance of the collaboration between the 
University, the Korean Government and Korean companies, the Korean 
Government's annual UK-Korea Science & Technology Partnership (STIP) 
Forum will be held at the University of Strathclyde on the morning of 27 
November 2012.  The venue will be the Court Senate Room.

The opening of the event will involve speeches by the Principal and 
senior representatives from MKE and KIAT.  Following this, there will be 
presentations on the opportunities for funding for further activities 
between staff of the University and Korean SMEs to be funded by 
MKE/KIAT. KIAT will provide insight into the Global Industry Academia 
Cooperation Programme.  In addition, there will be presentations on the 
three full research and development projects chosen this year by the 
members of Strathclyde staff involved in them -- this should provide 
some intelligence for future applicants as to what makes a strong 
application.  The Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and 
Planning (KETEP) will also make a presentation.

I hope that you may be able to attend for all or part of the event, and 
should be grateful if you would be able to make this information known 
to staff of your Faculties and Departments who may have an interest in 
developing research and development activities with Korean companies 
funded by Korean Government.  Those who would like to participate should 
contact Katie Robinson in RKES to confirm their registration and obtain 
further details -- katie.robinson at strath.ac.uk 
<mailto:katie.robinson at strath.ac.uk>.  Any questions can also be 
addressed to Katie or myself.

The current schedule for the morning is contained in the attachment.

I shall of course place a notice in the Weekly Bulletin about the event.

With thanks and best regards,

Martin
