Jungoe Academic Welfare Foundation Selects '2022 Basic Science Scholar'... Applications Open Until 14th Next Month

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The Jungwoo Academic Welfare Foundation, a public interest foundation of JW Group, announced on the 7th that it is recruiting '2022 Basic Science Scholars' who support housing costs for researchers in the basic science field until the 14th of next month.

The selection of Basic Science Scholars is a public contest project first planned by JW Group in the domestic industry, now in its third year. It supports housing rental fees (monthly rent) so that basic scientists can focus on their research activities stably during the research period.

The selection targets are domestic and overseas Korean researchers in the basic science fields (life sciences, biomedical engineering, medicinal chemistry) who have completed more than three years of integrated master's and doctoral programs or are in doctoral programs. Researchers residing overseas can also apply. Research essays, future growth plans, and research proposals can be submitted to the Jungwoo Academic Welfare Foundation by registered mail or email.

The Jungwoo Academic Welfare Foundation plans to announce the final successful candidates on December 1 after document screening and interviews. The final successful candidates can receive actual expenses for monthly rent costs of their residence for up to three years, considering the research period for obtaining a graduate degree, with an annual limit of up to 8 million KRW.

A representative of the Jungwoo Academic Welfare Foundation said, “The importance of basic science research is becoming even more critical as a foundation to overcome COVID-19,” and added, “We will expand support activities to nurture talents who will be responsible for the future of the basic science field.”
