NIA President Seang-Tae Kim participated in the 4th TEIN3 Technical Committee Meeting which was held in Sydney, Australia on 8th February, where the establishment of the 'TEIN Cooperation Center' was proposed.
The Trans-Eurasia Information Network (TEIN) Initiative is one of the new initiatives endorsed by ASEM3 to connect ICT infrastructures between Asia and Europe. This Initiative aims to contribute to enhancing exchanges and cooperation between Asia and Europe through increasing effective flow of information; enhancing and diversifying research exchanges; and creating speedier and more powerful telecommunication connections between Asia and Europe.
The European Commission also pledged support for the TEIN Initiative by contributing to the TEIN2(10M Euro) and TEIN3(12M Euro) program, which will be expanded to cover more ASEM-Asia partners.
In the 4th TEIN3 Technical Committee Meeting, NIA and the Korea Communications Commission proposed to establish the TEIN* Cooperation Center in Korea as a non-profit international organization with public function under the ASEM umbrella. The proposal was approved by Committee with the majority of member countries voicing their support.
When the TEIN Cooperation Center is officially approved at the ASEM 8 in October, it will be the first time in Asia that an international organization to manage a high-speed research network connecting northeast Asia, southeast Asia, south Asia, and Europe will be established.
On 10th February, President Seang-Tae Kim had a meeting with Ms. Ann Steward, the Australian Government Chief Information Officer in Canberra. Korea and Australia were recently ranked 1st and 8th on UN e-Government Development Index respectively. NIA President and Australian Government CIO Steward discussed how to deepen cooperation between ICT developed countries to articulate a desirable future vision of e-Government.
