1. Purpose and Background
With the vision of "Making Discoveries for Humanity and Society," the
Institute for Basic Science (IBS) was founded in 2011 by the Korean
government to promote basic sciences in Korea. Thirty Research Centers have
been launched and each Center has been yielding outstanding results in
various fields of research.
The IBS "Young Scientist Fellowship" started in 2016 to play an active
role in fostering next-generation basic science leaders. We believe this
fellowship offers opportunities to conduct independent research by
utilizing state-of-art infrastructures and to grow on the basis of research
collaborations with leading researchers.
We hope that the YS Fellowship serves as a stepping stone for our research
fellows to be appointed as independent principal investigators at the
prestige institutions worldwide.
