Published 2009-07-02
The Sweden-Korea Research Cooperation Programme was set up in 2008 by STINT and the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation, KOSEF, with the aim of promoting collaborative research projects. The objective of the programme is to encourage new patterns of cooperation.
In June 2009, the two organisations jointly decided to support the following researchers during a two-year period. STINT will support the Swedish side during the academic years 2009/10-2010/11:
Rajeev Ahuja, Physics and Material Science, Uppsala University, 194 000 SEK for cooperation with Kang Tae Won, Department of Physics, Dongguk University, within “Designing new solar energy materials for solar cell applications”
Ewert Bengtsson, Center for Image Analysis, Uppsala University, 180 000 SEK for cooperation with Choi Heung-Kook, Medical Image Technology Laboratory, Inje University, within “Computer assisted analysis of microscopic images applied to biological research and cancer diagnosis”
Per Jacobsson, Department of Applied Physics, Chalmers University of Technology, 200 000 SEK for cooperation with Ahn Jou-Hyeon, Department of Chemical and Biological Engieneering, Gyeonsang National University, within ”A Korea-Sweden joint program for development of new materials for rechargeable lithium batteries”
Mikael Johansson, School of Electrical Engineering, KTH/Royal Institute of Technology, 105 000 SEK for cooperation with Yi Yung, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, KAIST, within “Distributed stochastic optimization of communication networks: Foundations and applications”
Anders Palmqvist, Chemical and Biological Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology, 150 000 SEK for cooperation with Ryoo Ryong, Department of Chemistry, KAIST, within “Nanoporous crystals: Synthesis, morphology control and structure”
Yudi Pawitan, Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Karolinska Institutet, 150 000 SEK for cooperation with Lee Youngjo, Department of Statistics, Seoul National University within “Statistical methods for complex genomics data analyses”
Catharina Svanborg, Microbiology, Immunology and Glycobiology (MIG), Lund University, 150 000 SEK for cooperation with Lim Yoongho, Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Konkuk University, within “HAMLET - a potent and highly selective anti-cancer, protein-fatty acid complex”.
In late June 2009 KOSEF has merged with the NRF, The National Research Foundtion of Korea.
