Fostering Innovation in Rising Experts (FIRE) at the United States-Korea Conference (UKC) 2025

Strengthening the Next Generation of Leaders

The FIRE Symposium at UKC 2025 embraces the theme of Strengthening the Next Generation of Leaders - a timely call to empower students and early-career professionals navigating an era of uncertainty in STEM. Amidst evolving global challenges, FIRE will offer a platform for growth, resilience, and leadership development. Through dynamic discussions on career advancement, mentorship, and innovation, participants will gain tools to lead with purpose. 

Participants will have opportunities to network with driven individuals, and exchange experiences and insights to elevate their career. 

FIRE is not a technical symposium, if you wish to discuss technical topics such as research, development, and applications of KSEA's technical groups, we recommend that you apply to UKC's Technical Group Symposium (TGS). Please do NOT apply for both FIRE and TGS.
