Dr. Kiwoong Kim from the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) visited the Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM guided by Professor Alírio Rodrigues, Dr. Alexandre Ferreira and Dr. Ana Mafalda Ribeiro. This visit took place between 9th to 12th of July, for the kick-off meeting of the new project, and discussion the ongoing and future work.

The collaboration between LA LSRE- LCM and KRICT dates back to 2009. This collaboration was first settled under the framework of the FP7 European Project – MACADEMIA (2009-2013). Since then the partnership was maintained, and the groups of Prof. Jong-San Chang and Prof. Alírio Rodrigues have co-authored many scientific manuscripts together and one patent.

In 2018 this bilateral collaboration achieved a new level with the participation of LA LSRE-LCM in a project funded by both KRICT and NST for 3 years (2018-2020). The Memorandum of Agreement between both institutions was signed in February.
