Korea invests more than 3% of its GDP in research and development, one of the highest proportions in the world.
Korea has an impressively high level of business investment in research and development and the Korean Government is keen to ensure that this level of investment continues.
Australian researchers are increasingly collaborating with their Korean counterparts in a range of fields. Science and research collaboration with Korea is supported by the Australian Government under the International Science Linkages (ISL) program.
Through the ISL Program, the Australian Government has supported a number of bilateral science and research activities with Korea including:
- Two bilateral scientific symposia in 2007 and 2008 in conjunction with the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation and the Australian Academy of Science. The first of these workshops on Light Alloys took place in Korea. The second workshop took place in Perth in October 2008, on the topic of Protecting Freshwater Resources from Climate Change and Urbanisation.
- The Australian National University has received funding to work with the Korean National Fusion Research Centre to investigate the use of advanced optical technologies to optimise the performance of fusion reactors.
