  collaboration to create
  new scientific/social values

• 04 Communicating and
  popularizing science
  for driving social benefit

Resolving Social Challenges

Yonsei University ranks 47th globally-first in the Republic of Korea- in the Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings 2020 that measures universities’ impact on society based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

As the Earth Science convergence cluster, we dedicate to meeting the needs of society by conducting a wide range of research, encompassing the Earth, its oceans, its atmosphere, and space.

Solution for Social Challenges

Communication and Popularization of Science

Communicating scientific knowledge of natural disasters and cutting-edge discoveries in Earth Sciences to the public by interacting with the media and producing documentaries

Organizing science outreach activity programs for the local community, and Providing our public lecture program "Hot Science, Cool Talks"

Engaging potential incoming research staff and students through Open House events

interdisciplinary Research Project Development

Sharing the original technologies among academic disciplines Organizing workshops regularly, such as "Yonsei Earth Science (YES) Fluid Day," to share the original technologies in common areas

Utilizing artificial intelligence in research Continuing to develop various research projects that incorporate machine learning

Connecting atmospheric sciences and CubeSat technology Performing interdisciplinary research for quantitatively determining the sources of fine particle matter

Connecting geology and oceanography Coupling groundwater and ocean models to mitigate the risk such as radiation leaks after nuclear disasters or severe earthquakes
