Ajou's Yeong Seong Kim and Gwan Ho Nam win Grand Prizes at a UCC Contest hosted by the Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning

2015-11-17


Ajou University's Yeong Seong Kim (Department of Environmental Engineering, admitted class of 2010) and Gwan Ho Nam (Department of Mechanical Engineering, admitted class of 2011) won Grand Prizes at the "Public Contest regarding the Safety of Living Modified Organisms for Tests and Research and Laboratories" (UCC Division) to mark the 9th Laboratory Safety Day. It was hosted by the Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning.


The Contest attracted applications in Poster and UCC divisions from June 29th to August 14th, and the award ceremony was held on November 9th at the GS Tower in Seoul. Awards of the Minister of Science, ICT, and Future Planning and the prize money were presented to the Grand Prize winners.


The award-winning UCC was entitled "Cool Tips for Safe Experiments," and it featured ways for effectively preventing and dealing with accidents that can take place in labs. An interesting idea included in the UCC was to put fluorescent tape on the floor to help people easily evacuate in possible power outages related to fire.


Regarding the award, Yeong Seong Kim said, "I have participated in public contests several times because I am quite interested in safety, which is also relevant to my major. I submitted an application to this contest without high expectations, and I guess that innovative ideas were recognized by the judges and earned me the award."
