International Travel Grant: The First Korea-U.S. Joint Seminar on Biomedical Engineering

9812245董第一次韩美会谈生物医学工程联合研讨会将于1998年5月21日至23日举行。此次会议的总体目标是促进韩美两国在生物医学领域建立具体的合作关系。生物医学工程是韩国最近启动的18个国家课题之一。这次联合国际研讨会旨在提供机会，分享美国和韩国最近的生物医学研究活动，更重要的是，建立两国之间的合作研究关系。与韩国科学工程财团发展合作的隐含目的是建立一种生产机制，以确保新颖和重要的生物医学工程研究成果能够转移给双方。本次研讨会的一个重要成果是确定未来合作的优先领域。因此，研讨会旨在包括代表生物医学工程多个领域的专家：细胞和组织工程，生物力学，仪器；生物医学成像;生物材料;和人的生理功能。该研讨会是韩国医学和生物工程学会“1998年春季会议”的附属会议。在访韩期间，12名美国研修生将实地考察大德研究园区和韩国科学技术研究院（kist）等韩国的主要研究中心，从而进一步讨论研究合作的可能性

9812245 Dong The First Korea-U.S. Joint Seminar on Biomedical Engineering is to occur during May 21-23, 1998. The general objectives of the meeting are to promote and establish a concrete relationship between Korea and the U.S. in the biomedical engineering field. Biomedical Engineering is one of the 18 recently initiated national projects in Korea. This joint international seminar is designed to provide opportunities to share recent biomedical research activities in both the U.S. and Korea, and, importantly, to establish collaborative research relationships between the two countries. An implicit purpose of developing cooperation with the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation is to engage in a productive mechanism that ensures the results from novel and important biomedical engineering research will devolve to both parties. An important outcome expected form the seminar is the identification of priority areas for future cooperation. Therefore, the seminar is designed to include experts representing a number of areas of biomedical engineering: cell and tissue engineering, biomechanics, instrumentation; biomedical imaging; biomaterials; and human physiological functions.The Seminar is a satellite meeting of the Korean Society of Medical and Biological Engineering "1998 Spring Conference". During their stay in Korea, the 12 U.S. participants in the Seminar will make site visits to leading Korea research centers such as the Daeduk Research Complex and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, thereby providing additional opportunities to discuss potential research collaborations.***
