Exciting insights from Dr. Byongug Jeong, President of EKMOA, on new opportunities for Korean researchers with Korea joining the EU's Horizon Europe program! It highlights the Characteristics of HORIZON Europe in general and compared to Korean-government projects. 🌍 Horizon Europe: • Aim in General (e.g., "Development and demonstration of new technologies for safe use of sustainable carbon-neutral fuels") • Proposal preparation Duration (4-5 months) • Emphasis on "Demonstration" • International collaboration focus 🇰🇷 Domestic R&D: • Specific technology development scope • Short proposal preparation (about 1 month) • Focus on "Development" • Mainly domestic collaboration 💡 Key Takeaways: • Horizon Europe offers broader innovation opportunities • Longer preparation time allows for more comprehensive proposals • International collaboration opens doors to the European market Did you know? European shipowners account for 41% of the global fleet. This makes Horizon Europe a crucial opportunity for our maritime industry to expand globally. I encourage our research community to embrace these new avenues. Let's innovate together and contribute to solving global challenges!
