The Embassy of the Netherlands in Korea hopes to raise awareness of plastic recycling ♻️ and circular design by sharing Dutch experiences and cases through the #circularity campaign. We are hosting the ‘Netherlands Circular Economy Friends’ program with Korean university students majoring in design to transform plastic waste into new products with aesthetic value.  As the first program to launch this campaign, we had seminar by experts and discussed the circularity with the 12 teams that were finally selected. 👏 Following an introduction to the Netherlands' circular economy policy and roadmap, two lectures were given on the idea of realizing sustainability through design and the resource circulation movement, including the best practices from the Netherlands. 🇳🇱 The Netherlands is working to achieve a sustainable circular economy of the future through creative and practical ideas. 💡💪 주한네덜란드대사관은 #순환경제 캠페인을 통해 네덜란드의 경험과 사례를 공유해서 플라스틱 재활용과 순환 디자인에 대한 인식을 높이고자 합니다. 🙌 이를 위해 디자인을 전공하는 한국 대학생들과 폐플라스틱에 미적 가치를 담아 새로운 제품으로 재탄생시키는 ‘네덜란드 순환경제 프렌즈’ 캠페인을 주최하는데요. 캠페인을 시작하는 첫 프로그램인 세미나에 전문가를 초청하여 최종 선발된 12팀과 순환경제에 대해 함께 고민해 보았습니다. 🤔 네덜란드의 순환경제 정책과 로드맵에 대한 소개에 이어, 디자인을 통해 지속가능성을 실현하는 아이디어와 네덜란드 사례가 포함된 자원순환운동에 대한 강의가 있었습니다. 🇳🇱 네덜란드는 창의적이고 실용적인 아이디어를 통해 미래의 지속가능한 순환경제 달성을 위해 노력하고 있습니다. 🧡

🤔 Did you know that one-third of all food produced globally is lost or wasted? This is a staggering number and action is needed now. The Netherlands 🇳🇱 aims for a more sustainable future by turning innovative ideas into practical solutions. 🙌   Recent studies highlight increasing investments in post-harvest systems, particularly food processing and cold storage, to reduce food waste and strengthen food systems. Collaborations and efforts, especially with international partners, focus on maximizing resources to prevent food loss. A recent example is the Netherlands' support for a feasibility study in Ethiopia to develop post-harvest cold storage infrastructure. The study, requested by the Ethiopian Ministry of Transport and Logistics in collaboration with Wageningen University & Research, will assess cooling needs, investment estimates and financing options to enhance food security and reduce food loss.   전 세계적으로 생산되는 모든 식품의 3분의 1이 버려지거나 낭비된다는 사실을 알고 계셨나요? 🤔 이것은 엄청난 숫자이며 지금 당장 조치가 필요합니다. 💪 네덜란드는 혁신적인 아이디어를 실용적인 솔루션으로 전환하여 보다 지속 가능한 미래를 목표로 합니다. 최근 연구에서는 음식물 쓰레기를 줄이고 식품 시스템을 강화하기 위해 수확 후 시스템, 특히 식품 가공 및 냉장 보관에 대한 투자가 증가하고 있음을 강조하고 있습니다. 특히 국제 파트너와의 협력과 노력은 식량 손실을 방지하기 위해 자원을 극대화하는 데 중점을 둡니다. 구체적인 예로, 네덜란드는 수확 후 냉각 저장 인프라를 개발하기 위한 에티오피아의 타당성 조사를 지원하고 있습니다. 에티오피아 교통물류부가 시작한 이 연구는 Wageningen University & Research와 협력하여 식량 안보를 강화하고 식량 손실을 최소화하기 위한 냉각 필요성과 자금 조달 옵션을 평가할 것입니다.   #IDFLW2024 #NoWasting #WorldDaysNL #FarmingtheFuture #FoodSecurity #Agrologistics

News for the Dutch 🇳🇱 and Korean 🇰🇷 offshore wind 💨 supply chains! It is time to upscale offshore wind in Korea together.   Early August, Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) announced the Offshore Wind Power Competitive Bidding Roadmap, including bidding for floating #offshorewind. Approximately 7–8 GW of offshore wind tenders are expected over multiple tenders in the next two years. The first offshore wind tender of 1.5-2 GW is expected in October 2024. Tenders for the public development of offshore wind farms will be announced separately.   The final selection of the bids will be based on combined scores on (round 1) 50 % non-price indicators and (round 2) 50 % price indicators, with a upper price limit that will be disclosed later in time. Non-price indicators include among other indicators 26 % “industrial and economic impacts” to the domestic supply chain (for instance indicators on economic security, public engagement), 8 % “timely maintenance services and local presence” and 4 % “residence acceptance”.   More information (in Korean) can be found on the website of MOTIE. 🙌 Further details on the competitive bidding process are expected later this month in an to be announced information session by MOTIE for national stakeholders. Stay tuned! 🫶   Offshore wind is an unlimited and scalable energy resource and reduces carbon emissions. The Netherlands is dedicated to sustainable energy solutions. 💪 Earlier this year, the Netherlands organized a trade mission to Korea to showcase the leading role of the Netherlands private sector in the sphere of offshore wind.

Globally we face challenges in #sustainablefood production. Korea 🇰🇷 and the Netherlands 🇳🇱 deal with the consequences of #climatechange, changing consumer demands and labor challenges in #farming. Top-notch smart farming technologies help us to deal with societal challenges. IoT, robotics, drones, and AI play an increasing role in #horticulture. 🙌   The Netherlands is a frontrunner when it comes to high-tech farming. Greenhouse horticulture automation is one of the specialties of Dutch industry. Growers, researchers and the government work together to innovate. 🤝 Did you know that a greenhouse in the Netherlands can produce up to 80 kilograms of tomatoes 🍅on a square meter? While reducing pesticide, fertilizer and water use tremendously. 😲 Korea and the Netherlands are joining hands and seek to work together on smart-farming for sustainable food production. For example in Chungcheongnam-do, recently an interesting documentary came out about the potential and necessity of smart-farming, and the role of the Netherlands when it comes to smart-farming in Korea.

International R&D cooperation of Korea 🇰🇷is on the rise. Korea’s participation in Eurostar has been more intense; Korea will become a full associate member of Horizon Europe on January 1, 2025 and the budget of the Korean government for international R&D cooperation has tripled. 📈 Many cities and regions are looking into the these growing possibilities. 🧐 One of these cities is Gwangju (광주, 光州),  meaning city of light✨. Coincidentally (or not), it is the center of Korea’s photonics and optics industry and research with Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Electronics & Telecom Research Institute (ETRI) Korea Photonics Technology Institute (KOPTI) as three of the main institutes. On July 31, our Head of Innovation, Technology and Science Peter Wijlhuizen together with science and technology representatives from Quebec, Catalonia and France had a first meeting with KIPA and Korea Innovation Foundation(INNOPOLIS) in Gwangju and shared each organization's experiences. We hope that there will be opportunities for cooperation between Gwangju and the Netherlands in the near future. 🙌 한국의 국제 R&D 협력이 활발해지고 있습니다. 🙌유로스타 펀딩 프로그램 참여가 더욱 활발해졌고, 한국은 2025년 1월 1일부터 호라이즌 유럽(Horizon Europe) 준회원국으로 가입하게 되었습니다. 이에 따른 한국 정부의 국제 R&D 협력 예산이 3배로 늘어났습니다. 많은 도시와 지자체에서는 다양한 성장 가능성을 조사하고 있습니다. 🧐 그 도시 중 하나가 빛✨의 도시라는 뜻의 광주(光州)인데요. 우연인지 모르겠지만 광주는 주요 기관들 중, 광주과학기술원(GIST), 한국전자통신연구원(ETRI), 한국광기술원(KOPTI) 3개 기관이 함께하는 포토닉스 및 광학산업 연구의 중심지입니다. 지난 7월 31일 네덜란드 대사관의 과학기술혁신 실장은 퀘벡, 카탈로니아, 프랑스의 과학 및 기술 대표자들과 함께 광주에 위치한 KIPA 및 한국혁신재단(Innopolis)과 첫 회의를 가지고 각국의 경험 사례를 공유하였는데요. 앞으로 광주와 네덜란드의 협력의 기회가 마련될 수 있기를 바랍니다. 🙌
