Members of the Korean Ministry of Science and Technology, the Export-Import Bank of Korea, and Korean diplomats were also a part of the delegation.
This is the first time that a Korean delegation has visited Skoltech, and during the visit the Deputy PM toured the Eastern Ring campus, visiting FabLab, and meeting with Innovation Workshop student groups who talked about their projects. Minister Hong was also given a presentation about Skoltech, its mission, who we are, and what we teach at our Institute.
