Government officials from South Korea and the United States met in Washington, D.C. to announce a plan to strengthen collaboration in nuclear and high-energy physics research, according to Seoul's science ministry. Koo Hyuk-chae, the first vice minister of science and ICT, signed a memorandum of interest with Dario Gil, the under secretary for science at the U.S. Department of Energy.
The agreement, signed on Thursday (U.S. time), outlines plans to explore potential areas of partnership in large-scale research infrastructure and computational science applications.
As part of the partnership, a joint quantum cooperation committee will be formed to oversee the implementation of the agreement. Koo also held talks with U.S. Chief Technology Officer Ethan Klein to discuss the status of a working group established to advance the technology prosperity deal signed between the two nations in October. This agreement was reached during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit held in Gyeongju, a city in southeastern South Korea.
