Science Policy and Science Diplomacy are intimately intertwined.   This year, the joint forum of Science Policy and Science Diplomacy will invite the directors of the fundamental sciences in the funding agencies of the U.S. Department of Energy and the Korean Ministry of Science and IT together with prominent scientists from each country to serve on the panel.  The two directors will discuss the fundamental approach and the procedure for establishing the science policy of the two countries and promote the cooperation between the two agencies to seek pathways to establish a tangible way to encourage basic sciences cooperation. The science policies must be established to ensure the U.S. and Korea to be a close partner to lead the science diplomacy for the entire humanity.
