KISTEP signed an MOU with ISPIM (International Society for Professional Innovation Management), a network of innovative management experts, for the 5th ISPIM international symposium.  
Launched in 1984, ISPIM is a global network of innovative management experts engaged in enterprises, research institutions and academic circles in more than 50 countries.
In addition to its annual summer academic conference held in Europe, the society has been holding an annual winter symposium in non-European countries since 2008 with an emphasis on the global trends of innovative management.
With the agreement, KISTEP will play the role of the Korean host of the 5th ISPIM international symposium to be held in Seoul in December next year.
In particular, the two parties have agreed to hold a special session next year in the Seoul academic conference on the subject of science and technology innovation.
The two parties will continue to discuss further details about the conference.
