Korean visitors come to learn about Institute’s core funding model

23.09.22  We were delighted this morning to welcome three high-ranking visitors from the Republic of Korea to the Institute at the request of postdoc Dr Seungmin Han of the Simons lab.

The visitors were interested in our core funding model that enables research groups to benefit from shared equipment, services and expertise that would be too expensive or inefficient to fund in isolation.
