© Jacques MALEVAL Signing of the agreement by Wonyong LEE, vice-president for research at Yonsei University, and Antoine Petit, CEO of the CNRS.
On October 5, 2018 in Seoul, CNRS and Sorbonne University, together with Ewha Womans University and Yonsei University, their two South Korean partners, inaugurated 2B-FUEL, an International Joint Unit (UMI) in materials chemistry and organic electronics. The International Joint Unit (UMI) "Building Blocks for FUture ELectronics", or 2B-FUEL, was inaugurated on October 5, 2018 by Antoine Petit, Chairman and CEO of CNRS, and Professor Wonyong Lee, Vice-President of Research Affairs at Yonsei University. Initiated by Professors Eunkyoung Kim (Yonsei University), Jeong Won Wu (Ewha Womans University) and André-Jean Attias (Sorbonne University), the UMI carries out research on functional materials for optics and electronics as well as systems. The project aims to develop the basic building blocks of tomorrow's electronics, which could lead to novel 3D printable organic electronics systems whose properties will be tested by researchers in the UMI. The interest of such an approach in South Korea is obvious, given the presence there of key industrial players in the field. In France, the UMI has a 'mirror' lab, the Institut Parisien de Chimie Moléculaire (CNRS/Sorbonne Université), in Paris, where Attias works. Cooperation between France and South Korea on these research topics is a long-standing tradition.
