<p>Konkuk University (KU) announced on Nov. 20, 2014, that the research team headed by Prof. Jo-Chun Kim (College of Engineering) has been selected as the host group of the large-scale research project on new environmental technology implemented by the Korean Ministry of Environment (MOE) and the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute (KEITI). Prof. Kim's team will be funded with a total of 72.4 billion KRW (approximately 66 million USD) for six years until 2020. This is the largest amount of extramural funding a domestic university has obtained as a single research assignment.</p> <p><img src="ArticleFile.do?id=11607114" /></p> <p>Photo: Prof. Jo-Chun Kim<br />(College of Engineering)</p> <p align="left">In addition, when considering the research assistance from the environmental technology-related corporations of the private sector which will participate in the research, the actual research funding will reach a total of 86.6 billion KRW (about 77.65 million USD).</p> <p align="left">The project that Prof. Kim's research team will conduct is called the "green patrol technology development." "Green patrol" refers to an early warning system concerning environmental damages which assesses the pollution level of the environment (atmosphere, water quality, soil quality, etc.) real time and provides pertinent predictions based on such data. This research project will be one of massive scale, as more than 100 research staff are in need for its execution.</p> <p align="left">"The need for green patrol technology development is vital in many socioeconomic aspects, considering the response to the growing environmental analysis technology market, the need for enhancing public environmental services, the necessity for an integrated policy-based monitoring system, and the current domination of the market by developed nations' technologies," said Prof. Kim. "Through the sophistication and localization of environmental measurement and analysis technologies, improvements could be made in the management capacity for water, atmosphere, and harmful chemical substances. We could also expect the vitalization of industries relevant to the technological development of environmental measurement and analysis."</p> <p style="text-align: right;">Posted by Eun Jin Cho</p>
