A new partnership agreement between Diamond and Max Planck POSTECH/Korea Research Initiative (MPK) has been established
Representatives from both institutions met this week to sign a three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
The aim of the agreement is to unite the two organisations in educational and scientific cooperation. This will include exchanging research expertise in shared fields of interest, as well as encouraging research visits between the two organisations.
MPK was established in October 2011 in close cooperation with the Max Planck Foundation (MPI) in Germany to advance foundational and innovative technologies in materials science through international collaboration. Part of its remit is to actively promote global talent training programs in association with Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH).
The initiative is particularly interested in developing cutting-edge functional materials and nanostructures with complex properties, as well as the development of high-tech functional nanodevices with new optical, electrical, and magnetic properties.
