Introduction
The chemical industry is an infrastructure industry for our country, and in terms of industrial products, it has changed from a heavy chemical industry such as petro-chemistry and fertilizer in the 70s to technology-intensive and small quantity batch production in the 90s. Because it changed to a fine chemistry industry such with low-pollution and high added value functional chemical products, there is a greater need for a high-quality professional workforce in related areas.
In the fine chemistry area, there are around 500 different fine chemistry industries such as medicine, agricultural pesticides, cosmetics, dye pigments, paints, surfactants, adhesives, food additives, and various new materials. Although the fine chemistry area has been around for a long time in related research institutes, there is no graduate school for fine chemistry in the country, so there is insufficient infrastructure for supporting technology development and policy making.
Therefore, we aim to cultivate a capable new professional workforce equipped with theory and practice for establishing infrastructure to support the expanded distribution of high level technology and policy decisions, by establishing an organic cooperation system between related industries, education centers, and government agencies.
