In addition, to promote joint researches, Hallym-Uppsala International Co-research Laboratory, Hallym Translational Medicine Research Institute, and Hallym University Medical Convergence Center were opened.
Through continued academic exchange, Chairman Yoon has also played a key role in building bridges between Sweden and Korea in the field of science.
Vice Chancellor Anders Hagfeldt said, “Chairman Yoon has supported and stimulated research cooperation in medicine between Uppsala and Hallym. You have also paved the way for and facilitated contacts with other universities and research councils in the Republic of Korea. For all these reasons, we wish today to recognise you and your great contributions not only to our University but to the forging of closer bonds between our nations.”
Chairman Dai-Won Yoon said, “Sir Carl von Linné was not only a botanist, but also a visionary with great insight and deep wisdom. What am I going to do with the Carl von Linné medal in gold? For a long time, I have contemplated and taken actions to benefit not only humankind but also the entire universe.”
