Sungkyunkwan University selected for National Research Lab project

Sungkyunkwan University's Sungkyun Intelligent Energy Solution National Research Laboratory has been selected for the National Research Lab 2.0 project, receiving 10 billion won annually for up to 10 years. Led by professor Park Nam-gyu, the lab will develop an AI-integrated intelligent energy platform to enhance energy efficiency and stability.

Sungkyunkwan University will participate in the National Research Lab NRL 2.0 project, a government initiative aimed at fostering world-class university-affiliated research institutes in Korea. The university said Tuesday that its affiliated Sungkyun Intelligent Energy Solution National Research Laboratory has been selected for the NRL 2.0 initiative funded by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and ICT. The government will provide the laboratory with 10 billion won $6.46 million in annual funding, with the total investment expected to reach 95 billion won over the next 10 years. Led by chemical engineering professor Park Nam-gyu, the research institute plans to establish an intelligent energy platform that will integrate energy production, storage and utilization technologies with artificial intelligence AI and digital twin technologies. The laboratory will also develop industry-tailored intelligent energy solutions to ensure a stable supply of energy and respond to highly variable loads such as AI data centers by integrating high-efficiency solar cells, next-gen
