3. Integration of Korean Fellows and Students in CERN TH CKC Fellows and students are generally integrated in all activities of CERN TH on equal footing with all other fellows. For instance, they will participate in the CERN TH workshop in Les Houches, they collaborate with staff and other fellows, they organize and give seminars etc. Scientific performance and output of the program is excellent In summary: The CERN-Korea theory collaboration is by now a well-established activity. It has a track record of promoting the scientific career of Korean postdoctoral researchers and graduate students.

4. Participation in CERN TH Institutes The CERN TH Institutes are organized during summer, and they are generally co-organized in collaboration with foreign scholars. There are a total of 4-5 CERN TH Institutes per year. Topics are decided year by year. For past institutes, see http://ph-dep-th.web.cern.ch/ph-dep-th/?site=content/THInstitute.html The CKC is now in the unique position to make significant contributions to the involvement of Korean researchers in all aspects of CERN TH Institutes. On the side of CERN TH, we are looking forward to discuss within the next month the specific proposals for the CERN TH Institutes in 2014. We shall work together with our Korean colleagues to strengthen substantially the Korean input into CERN TH Institutes on the level of tenured faculty professors, postdoctoral researchers and graduate students.
