Six members (doctors and residents) from Ulsan University Hospital in Korea visited the Institute of Industrial Ecological Sciences (IIES) from January 16 to 20.

This program is based on the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) signed in 2018, which stipulates that the two countries will visit each other every other year to conduct exchanges.

The exchange program was postponed due to COVID-19, but resumed for the first time in almost two years. The delegation visited twelve departments at IIES and had a fruitful discussion after sharing the latest information on occupational health situations in each country and giving presentations on current research of both institutions.
