Objective:

The objective of UKC2005 is to provide a forum in which leading researchers in selected science and technology areas can present their research findings and discuss new R&D directions in areas that are relevant to economic development of the world.  All important branches of science, technology, and entrepreneurship will be covered by the UKC2005 program.

UKC2005 will also contribute to fostering cooperation between USA and Korea in advancing science and technology toward enhancing the welfare of both countries and the world.  It will  provide a forum where scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, educators, and other leaders discuss their achievements and current interests, develop cooperative projects, and establish professional networks.  In addition, UKC2005 provides the attendees from both countries with an opportunity to explore career opportunities.

The spirit of the conference is:  Let best talents in both countries gather in one place once per year !

Location:

UKC2005 will be held on the campus of the University of California, Irvine (UCI).  The Orange County  of California to which the city of Irvine belongs, is famous for its pleasant weather all year around (bright sunshine, unnoticeable humidity, and relatively cool temperature in summer).  The adjacent beach areas, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach which are within 25-minute driving distances from the campus of UCI, offer some of the world's best conditions for spending the summer vacation.

Irvine is the best exemplary modern city providing both very attractive living environments and high-tech clean industry environments, often called the 2nd Silicon Valley.  The UCI campus is easily accessible via the Orange County Airport (also called the Santa Ana Airport) (2.5 miles), the Long Beach Airport (25 miles), and the Los Angeles International Airport (45 miles).
