The UoM Worldwide East Asia Centre supported the University Alumni Office to organise the alumni cocktail reception in Seoul. Professor Luke Georghiou was invited to deliver a special talk to the 30th anniversary of Science and Technology Policy Institute (STEPI) who shared their insights on innovation and gave an update on the University’s research strategy. A lot of high profile individuals including academics and government officials attended the event. It was an invaluable opportunity to expand the network of our Korean community and enhance its visibility for sustainable development.   Thanks go to Prof Chae and  the UoM Alumni Korea Committee.
