South Korea's National Science Museum said on Jan. 28 it will accept applications through March 13 from individuals and organisations that hold and manage science and technology materials that have significantly contributed to the country's scientific and technological development, for registration as "Nationally Important Science and Technology Materials".

"Nationally Important Science and Technology Materials" refer to tangible materials located in South Korea that have historical and educational value related to science and technology and require preservation and management at the national level.

Final selections will be made through document screening, site inspections and a comprehensive review. Registered materials will receive a certificate issued in the name of the deputy prime minister and minister of science and ICT, and the National Science Museum will support their preservation and management.

Kwon Seok-min (권석민), director of the National Science Museum, said he hoped for active participation so that valuable science and technology assets kept in many places can come out into the world and become milestones that inspire future generations.

More details on the registration system and how to apply are available on the National Science Museum website.
