Samsung Total Petrochemical Co., Ltd. Donates USD 25 000 to the IUPAC Polymer Division
Samsung
Total Petrochemical Co., Ltd. of South Korea, of which Hong-Sik
Ko is president, recently donated USD 25 000 to the
IUPAC Polymer Division, of which Jung-Il Jin is president.
The donation will be added to the Samsung Total Petrochemical
Company Endowment fund that was originally created after a
USD 125 000 donation from Samsung in 2003. The income
from the fund is used by the Polymer Division to support excellent
researchers and students in polymer science, especially by
providing opportunities for younger researchers and students
from economically disadvantaged countries to attend IUPAC-sponsored
conferences. The fund is also used to support educational
projects of the Polymer Division, with the intention of making
them more accessible to researchers from economically disadvantaged
countries.
