Collaboration

Hellen Keller, a writer and educator, consistently emphasized the power and importance of collaboration. Despite losing her vision and hearing at the age of 18 months, she was able to discover new possibilities through encounters and interactions with many other people. Sharing different ideas and experiences with others broadens our horizons. The power of interactions stands out in tiny everyday moments, including chitchat with strangers at a cafe, encounters with neighbors, and candid conversations with friends. SNU People  features stories where people with different backgrounds and aspirations gather to share their knowledge and experiences and picture a bigger future. We trace the efforts to harmoniously integrate science and art as well as theory and experimentation across disciplines.
