A research note refers to documentation that records all processes and outcomes of research, from the beginning of the study to reporting results, presentations, or securing intellectual property rights. It is used to prove the integrity of research, maintain continuity, and protect research results, and it also serves as basic material when publishing academic papers or filing for patents.

This Joint Research Note Competition was organized as part of an industry-academia cooperation program that GC Green Cross launched with Ajou University in January 2024 through an agreement for fostering talent and research exchange.

GC Green Cross plans to discover outstanding talent with core competencies required in the bio-health sector and strengthen its global competitiveness based on its industry-academia cooperation relationships.

Choi Youngil, Head of the RED Division of Research and Development (R&D) at GC Green Cross, said, "Through this awards ceremony, we could see the high level of interest Ajou University students have in the bio-health industry," and added, "GC Green Cross will continue to support various programs, including the note competition, to foster innovative talent in the bio-health industry based on industry-academia cooperation."

Kim Yongseong, Dean of the College of Advanced Bio-Convergence at Ajou University, said, "This Joint Research Note Competition with GC Green Cross is an exemplary case of industry-academia cooperative education aimed at nurturing outstanding talent with practical skills in the bio-health field," and added, "We will continue to expand such programs and do our utmost to foster excellent master's and doctoral-level talent."
