June 20~23, 2023
We are pleased to invite you to the 2023 KIST Aslla Symposium. The Symposium, now in its 7th year, has been serving as a platform for participants to share their research accomplishments and perspectives related to globally challenging issues in the field of science and technology, and seeks to promote convergence research and the development of global networks between Korean researchers and their international colleagues.
This year's event will be held at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) S&T Convention Center from June 20th to June 23th, and will feature presentations and discussions on the theme, "Solar radiation modification – An option to mitigate climate crisis?" Prof. Seong Soo, Yum from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and Chang-Eui Park from KIST, who organized this event, will serve as organizers for the symposium.
As your in-depth knowledge of matters relating to this year's theme would certainly be of interest to the attendees, we would like to invite you to be a main speaker for this event. This role would entail sharing your insights regarding Solar radiation modification and climate change.
Thank you for your consideration and we are looking forward to seeing you at the symposium.
