■ The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) introduced on the thirtieth that they’ll run a “Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Professional Training Program” from July to November to coach consultants who will convert present cryptographic techniques to post-quantum cryptography in preparation for the period of quantum computer systems. The program targets college (together with graduate) college students, job seekers, builders, and safety personnel, and consists of three tracks: PQC growth, migration, and sensible utility. The purpose is to coach a complete of 620 folks: 90 every for the event and migration tracks, and 440 for the sensible observe. The growth observe is a two-day course geared toward buying data of algorithm ideas and implementation applied sciences. The migration observe can be a two-day course that gives coaching on procedures and utility methods for changing present cryptographic techniques to PQC. The sensible observe is a one-day course overlaying home and worldwide tendencies and insurance policies, the need of migration, and associated case research. Recruitment for the event and migration tracks begins on the thirtieth. Detailed data is offered within the notices part of the Cryptography Utilization Activation web site (https://seed.kisa.or.kr).
■ The Korea Aerospace Administration and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs introduced on the thirtieth that they hosted the “Korea-EU-NATO Space Day” occasion in Brussels, Belgium, on the twenty ninth to strengthen cooperation within the house sector with the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Organized by a public-private house delegation consisting of the Korea Aerospace Administration, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Korean house firms, the occasion served as a concrete follow-up to the settlement reached on the eleventh Korea-EU Summit on the tenth to boost superior cooperation in safety, protection, and science and expertise. Aiming to strengthen cooperation amongst associated house establishments on either side and to assist the abroad market entry of Korean house firms, about 80 contributors attended, together with 12 Korean establishments and house firms, 9 EU and NATO organizations, and native establishments, firms, and associations. On-site, a wide range of classes have been held to deepen strategic cooperation between the 2 sides and on the identical time create tangible enterprise alternatives for Korean firms. The authorities said that, based mostly on the outcomes of this occasion, it plans to proceed increasing cooperation alternatives tailor-made to Korean firms’ demand for entry into new markets.
■ The Korea Aerospace Administration introduced on the thirtieth that it held an industry-academia-research roundtable to launch full-scale growth of the next-generation launch car, which is being developed by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute as a nationwide mainstay house launch car for the 2030s. The roundtable was organized to pool the capabilities of {industry}, academia, and analysis institutes at a time when the event route of the next-generation launch car has shifted towards a reusable launch car much like SpaceX’s “Falcon 9” and system conceptual design is being accomplished. About 70 contributors attended, together with the Korea Aerospace Research Institute; project-participating organizations such because the system integrator Hanwha Aerospace, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, Hyundai Rotem, VitZro NexTech, and Hanyang ENG; and industry-academia-research advisory committee members. Participants shared the event standing and detailed schedules of elements for the next-generation launch car, in addition to the progress of lunar lander growth, and mentioned methods to develop a aggressive launch car within the 2030s and make sure the success of lunar exploration missions.
■ The Korea Aerospace Administration introduced on the thirtieth that it held a company roundtable at Yongsan Station on the identical day to revitalize the home satellite tv for pc imagery {industry} and focus on on-site suggestions and assist measures. The roundtable was organized to evaluate market circumstances for the satellite tv for pc imagery utilization {industry} at house and overseas and to assist be sure that providers provided by Korean satellite tv for pc imagery specialists can be utilized extra broadly. Fifteen firms within the satellite tv for pc imagery discipline participated, together with KT SAT, Gaia3D, and Nara Space. Oh Tae-seok, Administrator of the Korea Aerospace Administration, stated, “Through this roundtable, we will strengthen communication with domestic satellite imagery companies and strive to ensure that the government can play a practical supporting role in the satellite imagery utilization industry, which is growing under private-sector leadership.”
■ The Nuclear Safety and Security Commission (NSSC) introduced on the thirtieth that it held an “SMR Safety Regulation Roundtable” on the President Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul, to debate instructions for establishing a regulatory framework for small modular reactors (SMRs). The assembly was organized to assemble stakeholder opinions on the SMR security regulatory atmosphere and the route of regulatory framework growth. More than 50 contributors attended, together with regulatory our bodies such because the NSSC, the Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety (KINS), the Korea Institute of Nuclear Nonproliferation and Control (KINAC), and the SMR Regulatory Research Promotion Team; firms which are truly creating or planning to introduce SMRs, resembling Hyundai Engineering & Construction, Samsung Heavy Industries, and POSCO E&C; and associated universities. The NSSC shared the implementation standing of the “Roadmap for Establishing SMR Safety Regulation (2026–2030)” introduced final February and defined its plans to overtake the regulatory framework in order that it will probably embody a wide range of functions and designs. Participants mentioned the necessity for communication channels between operators and regulators, pre-review techniques, transition to performance-based technical requirements, and enhancements to licensing frameworks and emergency planning zones (EPZs) tailor-made to new reactor varieties resembling marine SMRs and micro modular reactors (MMRs). NSSC Chairman Choi Won-ho said that, on the premise of thorough security verification, the fee will set up a versatile and predictable SMR security regulatory framework.
■ The Korean Academy of Science and Technology introduced on the thirtieth that it has printed three coverage experiences on the themes of small modular reactors (SMRs), analysis innovation utilizing synthetic intelligence (AI), and innovation in nationwide analysis and growth (R&D). The next-generation report on SMRs notes that, in response to rising energy demand from knowledge facilities and the necessity for carbon neutrality and vitality safety, it’s essential to commercialize SMRs and safe management within the industrial ecosystem, and it highlights the necessity to develop demonstrations, set up a rational regulatory framework, safe provide chain competitiveness, and develop core applied sciences resembling AI-based autonomous operation of nuclear energy crops. The challenge report “Designing the Future of S&T×AI” examines analysis innovation pushed by the convergence of science and expertise with AI and emphasizes constructing analysis infrastructure and knowledge ecosystems, nurturing expertise, and establishing ideas for accountable AI use. The challenge report “The Paradox of R&D Without Failure” requires redefining failure as a part of data accumulation and innovation, and recommends bettering analysis tradition and coverage to maneuver away from short-term performance-based analysis and assist more difficult analysis. The experiences could be downloaded freed from cost from the Academy’s web site ((www.kast.or.kr).
