This conference started since 2006 for expanding former symposium of KORUS (Korea-Russia International Symposium on Science and Technology) which annually had been opened from 1997. It is so unique and identifiable forum not only for an international conference to link academia but also for the cooperation between academia and industry even including policy planners on a strategic technology. This year the theme of the conference is “New Energy and New Materials”. This issue is recently focused on by both academic researchers and those who are related industries and local or national governments,and more than one hundred foreign scholars will be present at this conference.
