The 2011 Seoul S&T Forum was held from October 5 to 8 at Lotte Hotel and KIST in Seoul.
The 2nd Seoul S&T Forum was organized in response to Korea joining the OECD DAC in 2009 and the international requests regarding sharing Korea’s development experiences. The Forum was aimed at initiating ODA projects and building a cooperative network among developing and developed countries.
The Forum was significant in that it provided a gathering place for discussion among developing and developed countries in Korea, the only country that has transitioned from a recipient to now a donor nation. The Forum also highlighted KIST’s contributions to Korea’s economic development.
Last year, the 2010 Seoul S&T Forum, themed “International Cooperation of Public Research Institutes for Green Growth,” was attended by about 70 leaders of public research institutes.
