    Korean President Hails UK Science at Imperial  

    Park Geun-hye, President of the Republic of Korea addressed leading figures from science, industry and government outlining her vision for a “creative economy”, driven by science, R&D and innovation, in partnership with leading scientific nations, during a recent visit to the UK.

    The UK-Korea Creative Economy and Future Science Forum at Imperial College London, was the landmark science and innovation event of the President’s State Visit, which took place at the invitation of The Queen from 5 to 7 November.

    Speaking at the event President Park said: “I sincerely congratulate the opening of the UK-Korea Creative Economy and Future Science Forum and I would also like to express my gratitude to the UK Government and Imperial College London for organising this meaningful event.”

    “It gives me great pleasure that we have gathered at the world renowned Imperial College London – famous for its cutting edge research in science and technology –  together with scientists, businessmen and experts from the UK and Korea to discuss the future of the creative economy.”

    UK Science and Universities Minister David Willetts, who joined President Park at Imperial said: “Like many of our leading universities Imperial is an outward looking institution, that realises the need to collaborate far and wide to tackle the big global issues and to make the most of international creativity and innovation. This of course includes collaboration with Korea where they have developed extensive links with leading researchers including those at KAIST, POSTECH and the Seoul National University as well as with industrial partners such as Samsung and LG."

    On her tour of the College, President Park viewed an ‘invisibility cloak’ demonstrating the potential of metamaterial technology and witnessed a live surgical simulation.
