[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Three Korean representatives have been selected to participate in the next-generation expert development program of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in Geneva, Switzerland, this November.


The national representatives are Shin Daehyun from the Korea Display Industry Association, Lee Kyungjun from the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute, and Lim Sujin from the Korea Fire Industry Technology Institute. These talents belong to an association, a research institute, and a testing and certification organization, respectively. They have distinguished themselves in the fields of standardization and testing certification.


The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's National Institute of Technology and Standards announced on the 27th that they were selected as representatives for this year's 'IEC YP (Young Professionals) program' and were awarded appointment certificates.


The IEC operates the YP program as a key project to nurture promising global electrical and electronic standards talents aged 25 to 38 into international experts.


Since 2013, the National Institute of Technology and Standards has been running the 'Next-Generation International Standards Workforce (KYP·Korea Young Professionals) Support Program.'


The three Korean representatives will attend the IEC General Assembly and YP workshops to gain field experience and actively engage in 'standard diplomacy.'



Lee Seungwoo, head of the National Institute of Technology and Standards, said, "We will actively support not only the three experts participating in the IEC YP program as Korean representatives but also all outstanding personnel who have completed the KYP program to actively participate in various organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and IEC and grow into international standard leaders."
