KIAT Holds Online Briefing on AI Field... For Companies Interested in 'International Joint Technology Development'
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] The Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT) will hold an online business briefing session at 5 p.m. on the 22nd for companies interested in international joint technology development in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).
The international joint technology development project supports joint research and development (R&D) between overseas and domestic industry-academia-research institutes. It is divided into bilateral (one-on-one) projects and multilateral projects. This briefing session will be held only for the 'EUREKA Cluster' track, which is one of the multilateral projects.
Europe operates a global joint R&D support platform called EUREKA, and the EUREKA Cluster is one of the technology development programs supported by EUREKA.
The clusters mainly carry out medium to large-scale research innovation projects. This year, five EUREKA clusters in the AI field will be integrated, with industry-academia-research institutes from 15 countries including Germany and the Netherlands jointly participating.
The multilateral R&D project EUREKA is divided into several tracks such as Eurostars2 and Horizon 2020 besides the clusters, making the project structure somewhat complex. This non-face-to-face briefing session is jointly hosted by the EUREKA Secretariat and KIAT and is expected to be helpful to participating companies.
The non-face-to-face briefing session is open to any domestic industry-academia-research personnel who wish to participate in the AI field EUREKA clusters. After applying on GT Online (www.gtonline.or.kr), participants can watch online through an individually assigned access link.
Seok Young-cheol, President of KIAT, said, "The five clusters include excellent industry-academia-research institutes such as Bosch in Germany, Ericsson in Sweden, and IMEC in Belgium," adding, "We look forward to the participation of our companies aiming to proactively respond to changes in the global value chain (GVC) by integrating AI into various industries."
Meanwhile, KIAT is implementing proactive administration based on non-face-to-face methods as offline business briefings and face-to-face meetings have become virtually difficult due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
