Message for researchers

We encourage researchers to spend as much time as possible on “creative research”. If there is anything URA can do to help researchers achieve this, please feel free to contact KURA.

What inspired me to become a research administrator (URA)

I had experience in research project management and analysis the trend of STI at a funding agency. I became more interested in running alongside research projects in a place closer to researchers and decided to be a research administrator at KURA. As URA, I would like to support application for funding program and connect interdisciplinary researchers. I would be happy if some kind of chemical reaction occurs.
