Green Technology Center discusses KIGAM-SMI-GTC Collaborative Research
On Oct. 13th, Green Technology Center (GTC, President Sung Chang-mo) took part in the ‘KIGAM-Delegation of Australia Meeting’ held at the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) to have discussions on the collaborative research carried out by KIGAM, SMI (Sustainable Minerals Institute), and GTC.
SMI's visit to Korea is a part of the follow-up measure to the MOU signed between the Mineral Utilization Convergence Research Center of the Mineral Resource Research Division in KIGAM and SMI, an affiliate of the University of Queensland in Australia. The purpose of the visit, which follows the collaborative research meeting co-hosted by KIGAM, GTC, and SMI during the visit to Australia in May, was to share the accomplishments made in the transfer of green cement technology developed by Dr. Ahn Ji-hwan of KIGAM and to discuss ways to utilize the technology as well as its future development direction.
The Korea-Australia Joint Workshop on Future Collaborative Activity was joined by Senior Geologist Brad John and his team from Geological Survey of Queensland at the Department of Natural Resources and Mining of the Queensland State Government, visitors from the University of Queensland, President Kim Kyu-han of KIGAM, President Sung Chang-mo of GTC, and Kwon Jeong-hui, an official from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Australia.
The workshop began at 10 a.m. with the exchange of greetings by each delegation. After watching the promotional video of KIGAM and GTC, institutions gave presentations on their collaborative research and engaged in discussions.
KIGAM President Kim Kyu-han stated that "the meeting was an important step for making progress in our collaborative research and technology transfer with Australia, as well as a meaningful occasion where KiGAM and the Queensland State Government of Australia shared technologies and discussed know-how in utilizing natural resources." He especially thanked GTC President Sung Chang-mo for "playing a critical role as a bridge between institutions in the collaborative project on technology transfer between Korea and Australia."
In closing, each institution committed to continuously make progress in their collaborative research through mutual exchange and successfully ended the workshop.
