Research notebooks serve as detailed records of the entire research process, playing a critical role in maintaining research continuity and protecting outcomes. They are also used as a means to demonstrate the credibility of research when publishing in academic journals. Therefore, acquiring proper research notebook writing skills from the undergraduate level is considered an essential quality for researchers.

Notably, this agreement marks the first time Samsung Bioepis has introduced an "electronic" research notebook as part of its industry-academic cooperation activities. Through this initiative, Samsung Bioepis aims to focus on sharing research know-how that aligns with industrial trends in the digital and AI era.

Kim Kyung-Ah, President of Samsung Bioepis, who attended the signing ceremony, stated, "By strengthening industry-academic cooperation activities that share global-level research and development know-how with universities, we will continue to contribute to the early identification and cultivation of outstanding talent for the pharmaceutical and bio industries." Kang Gunwook, Dean of the College of Pharmacy at Seoul National University, expressed his expectations, saying, "The know-how of a world-class biosimilar development company will be integrated into the university research environment, providing students with the opportunity to become talents with global competitiveness."

Meanwhile, since 2015, Samsung Bioepis has signed research notebook competition agreements with seven universities nationwide (Korea University, Pusan National University, Sungkyunkwan University, Yonsei University, Chonnam National University, KAIST, and Pohang University of Science and Technology), and continues to carry out a wide range of industry-academic cooperation activities to spread its expertise in biopharmaceutical research and development accumulated in the global market.
