Government representatives from South Korea and the United States convened in Washington, D.C. last week and reached an agreement to enhance collaboration in the fields of nuclear and high-energy physics, according to the South Korean Science Ministry. Koo Hyuk-chae, the country's First Vice Minister of Science and ICT, inked a letter of intent (LOI) with Dario Gil, the U.S. Department of Energy's Under Secretary for Science, on Thursday (U.S. time), as reported by the ministry in a press release.
This pact will see both nations pinpoint opportunities for collaboration in large-scale research infrastructure, alongside fostering partnerships in computational science projects. To uphold the terms of this agreement, a joint quantum cooperation committee will be formed, as announced by the Science Ministry.
In addition to this nuclear and physics cooperation, Koo met with U.S. Chief Technology Officer Ethan Klein to discuss advancements on a working group established to execute the technology prosperity deal signed between the two countries last October. This agreement took place during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit held in Gyeongju, a southeastern city in South Korea.
