Newswise — The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (President Seog-Hyeon Ryu, hereinafter “KIMM”), underneath the Nationwide Analysis Council of Science & Expertise (NST), is increasing its international joint analysis efforts in clear applied sciences, together with useful resource circulation and vitality transition. Notably, the latest signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Pure Sources Canada (Director Normal of Innovation Daniel Dufour, NRCan), a federal authorities division, establishes a brand new platform for worldwide collaboration in sustainable useful resource applied sciences and helps the strategic enlargement of KIMM’s international R&D community.
On July 29 (Tuesday), KIMM signed the MoU with NRCan in Montréal, Canada, to collaborate on applied sciences associated to useful resource restoration and environmental sustainability. NRCan is a key science and know-how division throughout the Canadian federal authorities, accountable for creating nationwide insurance policies and techniques in addition to conducting modern science and analysis within the areas of vitality, crucial mineral restoration, pure sources, and the atmosphere.
The MoU outlines collaboration within the following areas: ▲ Joint analysis on ammonia restoration and elimination applied sciences, ▲ Info alternate on battery materials restoration and industrial waste therapy, and ▲ Group of joint workshops and knowledgeable alternate applications. Via this partnership, the 2 establishments purpose to generate tangible technological outcomes that contribute to the worldwide transition to carbon neutrality. The MoU marks a big step ahead in KIMM’s worldwide cooperation in vitality and environmental analysis and is anticipated to function a basis for future multilateral analysis initiatives.
Previous to the signing, on July 28 (Monday), KIMM visited the Superior Manufacturing and Expertise Centre (AMTC) of the Nationwide Analysis Council Canada (NRC), Canada’s largest federal analysis group. Discussions centered on collaboration in clever manufacturing automation, composite-based plane manufacturing, and upkeep applied sciences. Through the go to, they met with Ibrahim Yimer, Vice President of the Transportation and Manufacturing Division at NRC, together with affiliated researchers, to discover potential collaboration within the subject of clever manufacturing processes. The establishments additionally explored organizing technical seminars and facilitating researcher exchanges to determine sensible collaboration frameworks.
KIMM additionally visited MILA (Montreal Institute for Studying Algorithms), one of many world’s main AI analysis institutes, to debate joint analysis in superior manufacturing AI, data-driven foundational analysis, and AI–robotics convergence. With MILA’s experience in reinforcement studying, machine studying, and embodied AI, the collaboration is anticipated to assist the event of AI options tailor-made for Korean manufacturing environments.
As well as, from July 28 to August 1, KIMM participated in CKC 2025 (Canada–Korea Convention on Science and Expertise) held in Montreal. KIMM co-organized a world collaboration session, introduced key analysis achievements, and expanded its North American R&D community. Through the “Hydrogen Manufacturing, Storage, and Utilization Applied sciences Session (KIER–KIMM),” KIMM showcased efficiency and financial evaluation outcomes of high-temperature electrolysis (SOEC) programs, underscoring Korea’s management in hydrogen know-how. On the “Korea–Canada Industrial Expertise Cooperation Seminar,” discussions targeted on methods to generate joint R&D outcomes and improve bilateral innovation synergy.
President Seog-Hyeon Ryu of KIMM acknowledged, “This partnership with Canada marks a big milestone in advancing collaboration with world-leading establishments in clear know-how, aerospace manufacturing, and synthetic intelligence. KIMM will proceed to drive international joint analysis and know-how diplomacy, contributing to carbon neutrality and increasing the worldwide footprint of Korea’s superior equipment applied sciences.”
