We thank you for the kind welcome from FIA UI. I hope that in this event, we can exchange ideas and provide mutual benefits,” said Prof. Seong-soo Kim, a Hankuk University of Foreign Studies professor.

“Indonesia needs a transformation to survive in the present and the future. For this reason, Indonesia needs innovative and qualified young researchers.

Novita Ikasari, M.Comm, Ph.D Head of Administration and Commerce.
Prof. Ki-Seok Kwon Professor from Hanbat National University, explained the points of the K-Innovation Partnership Program With Indonesia in 2022, namely 1) The K-Innovation Partnership Program is STEPI-Korea’s collaboration with various countries related to Indonesia’s Science-Technology-Innovation (STI) Policy as part of from the STI Policy Cooperation between the National Research and Development Agency ( BRIN) and South Korea’s STEPI. 2) The three forms of cooperation are 1) research, 2) capacity building. 3) policy consulting.

“We hope we can collaborate again in the future between BRIN and FIA because we have the same background, so that we can work together.
