Current status of government-funded projects by field of study; plans for interlinking projects
- In the field of mathematics, government-funded projects are supported mainly by pure research funds from the Korea Research Foundation (KRF) and the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF).
- Participating professors are strongly encouraged to raise funds for their respective research independently from the BK21 Project.
- In a pure research project, graduate students will receive various support needed and study the research tasks given to them. Therefore, this does not run against the BK21 Project; if run effectively, synergetic effects may be created as described below:
- In carrying out research based on pure research funds, if international cooperation (e.g. participation/holding of international symposiums, joint international research, etc.) is needed, funds for the BK21 Project may be utilized to obtain graduate students involved in such international cooperation projects.
- With respect to research results from a combination of the BK21 Project and another government-funded project, students shares belong to the BK21 Project and professors to the other research project.
- With a focus on improving the education environment, other government-funded education projects will also be attracted to create synergetic effects with the BK21 Project.

Plans for interlinking enterprise-funded research projects and the Project Group education and research
Given the characteristics of mathematics, it is difficult at present to plan for receiving any funds from enterprises; research in this field is focused on basic sciences and enabling technologies, rather than technologies that can be applied directly to businesses. Among the professors taking part in the project, however, many have plans to perform research on applied sciences. They have actively explored the possibility of application to information security, information processing, information communication networks, and financial mathematics (e.g. sampling theory, image processing, data mining, information security, computer animation, wireless networks, financial mathematics), and during the project, they will develop mathematical knowledge and fields that can be utilized by enterprises. Against this backdrop, we are confident that substantial amounts of research funds can be received from enterprises within the next seven years in the fields of information technology, biotechnology, and finance.
Below are the detailed plans for this purpose:
- Graduates and experts working at enterprises and research centers will be utilized to identify technologies that the enterprises and research centers need for each of the fields; to develop the technologies identified, research projects will be carried out with the participation of graduate students in relevant research labs.
- To ensure technologies developed do meet the global standards and that graduate students have stronger research motivations, consultations with relevant enterprises and research centers will be made in advance so that the students can apply for domestic/international patents or publish on international journals with the technologies developed as a result of their projects.
- To actively discover and efficiently implement possible enterprise-funded research projects, those majoring relevant fields of study will be given priority when hiring new full-time instructors and post-doc researchers. If necessary, industrial experts will be hired as adjunct professors and be utilized in education and research.
- If needed, curricula will be reorganized to develop new courses relevant to the needs of enterprises. At the same time, the existing theory-oriented curricula will be transformed into experiment- and practice-driven curricula in consideration of industrial needs, and laboratories for the Department will be expanded. By doing so, we will provide graduate students with educational and research infrastructure for performing enterprise-funded projects and world-class research.
