It can play a major role in the Creative Economy that requires interdisciplinary integration. UKC can play a major role in reducing the technology gap with policy makers, and build the framework to tackle global challenges through science diplomacy. UKC fosters peer networking and mentoring, and provides a platform for current and future leaders to meet in an environment where meaningful partnerships and friendships can form and grow UKC Communicates Science and Technology with the public, and cultivates Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education to empower future generations. The US-KOREA Conference on Science, Technology and Entrepreneurship (UKC) 2018 will be held August 1-4, 2018 in St. John s University Conference Center in Queens, New York City, New York, United States. UKC2018 provides valuable opportunities for cooperation between the US and Korea. The program includes symposiums, forums and workshops to cover broad areas of science and technology, including but not limited to basic science, applied science, engineering, technology, entrepreneurship and science policy. The three pillars of the UKC 2018 program are: Digital Technologies/AI Biomedicine Robotics/Autonomous Systems We are embracing APSs in the Symposiums. The TG leaders will lead the symposium and they will collaborate with related APSs. All Symposiums will embrace Industry Professionals as well as teaching focused submission from teaching universities. Young Generation Integration to the main UKC program will include separate forums for young professionals and the young generation. An initiative will seek sponsorship from the US companies with effort lead by industry professionals. Lastly, a 3-day Public Program invites the Korean communities and the general public into UKC2018.

His research focuses on the bio-inspired robot design by extracting principles from animals. Kim's achievements on bio-inspired robot development include the world's first directional adhesive inspired from gecko lizards, and a climbing robot, Stickybot, that utilizes the directional adhesives to climb smooth surfaces featured in TIME's best inventions in Recent achievement includes the development of the MIT Cheetah capable of stable outdoor running up to 13mph and autonomous jumping over obstacles at an efficiency of animals. This achievement was covered by more than 300 media articles.

5 Sponsor Named Forum The UKC 2018 will provide an opportunity for sponsors to organize the sponsor-named forums, which can serve as platforms for leaders to exchange ideas on future cooperation and promote collaborations with the sponsor institutions. In addition to the successful forums in past years (see the examples below), we are in the process of identifying sponsors that can host forums in areas of emerging topics. These topics include, but are not limited to, focus areas identified by the Ministry of Science ICT and Future Planning. We can help the sponsors to identify potential chairs and speakers of the forum. Organizers, chair/co-chairs and speakers can be Korean-American and non-ethnic Korean US researchers and experts from government, academia and industry. To meet the sponsor s needs, the UKC 2018 organizing committee will help in customizing a forum structure and identifying a forum chair that can work closely with the sponsor. The proposal deadline is Wednesday, February 28, However, we would kindly like to remind the sponsors that sooner is better for the organizing committee, so we can start identifying and inviting leaders in the topic areas as early as possible. For any question, please contact Conference Chair Dr. K. Stephen Suh (ksea46pesuh@gmail.com) or Program Chair Dr. Tom Oh (tomhoh@gmail.com).
