With the theme “Embracing the Digital Transformation Era in Chemistry,” discussions will cover various topics, such as sustainable chemical synthesis, the digital transition in energy research, AI-based regenerative and next-generation materials, and the application of AI in next-generation sensors and biotechnology.
In particular, the panel session on establishing an APEC digital transformation research network and expanding international joint research will feature Hwan-il Park, the Vice Chair of the APEC Policy Partnership on Science, Technology and Innovation (PPSTI), as he seeks ongoing collaboration with APEC.
Hwang Sung-hoon, Director of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Science and ICT, said, “We will continue to actively support creating digital research infrastructure and expanding opportunities for international exchange, so young researchers can thrive on the global stage.”
