기초과학연구소, ‘SUPPORT 연구과제’ 킥오프 미팅 개최
‘SUPPORT research project’ of Research Institute for Basic Sciences kick started

Jeju National University’s Research Institute for Basic Sciences announced Thursday (April 1) that its Autonomous Research Support Team held the Kick-off Meeting the institute’s yearly E-SAC support program for autonomously operated research projects on basic sciences on the previous day.

The meeting invited 22 participants, including the leaders and the officials of the seven specific projects that have been selected as the third recipients of the year-round support program in 2021. During the first session, the researchers gave presentations on the content of their respective projects, while the second session shared briefings on the orientation of the institute’s Autonomous Research Support Team and the institute’s research support program named E-SAC.

To those who had recorded outstanding performances in the previous year, the Autonomous Research Support Team presented the Prominence Prize for Research (Prof. Kim Gi-young, Dept. of Marine Life Sciences), Prominence Prize for Cooperation (Prof. Ko Eun Ju, Dept. of Veterinary Medicine), and Special Prominence Prize (Research Prof. Yang Mi-yeon, Research Institute for Basic Sciences).

According to the Autonomous Research Support Team, the process of the E-SAC program’s research projects will be recorded to produce a documentary film. The research support team plans to raise local public awareness of the purpose and significance of research on basic sciences. It is the support team’s intention to build the “Prominence Platform” so that it will be able to comprehensively manage and share the data and other findings from local research projects on basic sciences.

JNU’s Research Institute for Basic Sciences supports the university’s full-time and research professors as well as postdoctoral researchers for 20 research projects yearly, with the theme of “building an integrated platform on basic sciences for the conservation of Jeju Island’s clean biosphere”. Under the guidance of the umbrella body, the Autonomous Research Support Team started running the E-SAC program in 2019, with the underlining principles of “autonomy, diversity, and sustainability”.
