produced with the aim to provide Danish
companies and research institutions
insights into the South Korean knowledge
resources within acoustics, audio, digital
signal processing etc.
In general, sound related technologies takes professors within the three main areas. It is
place within the engineering fields of elec- to be noted that South Korean universities in
trical engineering, mechanical engineering general work in the area of applied research;
and physics. The basic of all audio and sound therefore many of the laboratories mentioned
technology projects from three main areas: will have projects running in close collaboration

These classical technology areas all migrate into erates with the aim to develop new products and
various product and market sectors, making appliances. This makes South Korean professors
sound more and more ICT based. In the list, valuable as relations that can also be of help to
we have identified the leading laboratories and connect to relevant business segments.
