The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM), under the National Research Council of Science & Technology (NST), signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Natural Resources Canada (NRC) to establish a new platform for international collaboration in sustainable resource technologies and support the strategic expansion of KIMM’s global R&D network.
The MoU outlines collaboration in the following areas:
- Joint research on ammonia recovery and removal technologies,
- Information exchange on battery material recovery and industrial waste treatment, and
- Organization of joint workshops and expert exchange programs.
Through this partnership, the two institutions aim to generate tangible technological outcomes that contribute to the global transition to carbon neutrality. The MoU marks a step forward in KIMM’s international cooperation in energy and environmental research and is expected to serve as a foundation for future multilateral research initiatives.
Prior to the signing, on July 28, 2025, KIMM visited the Advanced Manufacturing and Technology Centre (AMTC) of NRC. Discussions centered on collaboration in intelligent manufacturing automation, composite-based aircraft production, and maintenance technologies. During the visit, they met with Ibrahim Yimer, Vice President of the Transportation and Manufacturing Division at NRC, along with affiliated researchers, to explore potential collaboration in the field of intelligent manufacturing processes.
