Why YGF 2010?
Each year since 2002, to share the Korean vision of science and
technology, the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies
(KOFST) and the Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association
(KSEA) have been hosting the Young Generation Forum (YGF) by bringing
young Korean Heritage scientists and engineers from all over the world
to Korea.
The YGF 2010 will bring 80 young generation Korean-heritage students/
professionals from all over the world including U.S., Canada,
Germany, Japan, etc. as well as 40 young generation Koreans. All 1.5
and 2nd generations, who major in Science, Technology and Engineering,
are encouraged to apply for this special event in Korea. This is a
rare opportunity to meet young generation scientists and technology
leaders from all over the world as well as sharing research ideas and
experience Korean culture together. Additionally, the invited YG
members will be fully reimbursed for their airfare, lodging, and meals
while attending the forum.
The primary goals of the KOFST 2010 Young Generation Forum are to
promote young Korean scientists and engineers
(1) To contribute to the advancement of contemporary science and
technology,
(2) To understand the current scientific and technological
developments in Korea,
(3) To establish cooperative networking that will encourage future
collaboration with foreign counterparts.
A testimony from a past participant:
"Now in its fifth year of inception, the Young Generation Forum
continues to bring students and young professionals in science and
engineering together from all over the world. Through networking with
peers and older generations as role models, we learn how to maintain
our Korean roots while succeeding as scientists and engineers in the
foreign societies in which we live. The forum is an opportunity to
experience not only the rich scientific opportunities in Korea, but
also the cultural depth that benefits many of us as 1.5 and 2nd
generations."
