Chungnam National University (Republic of Korea) has established the Nano and New Materials Engineering Institute, the only nano-specialized institute in the nation.

• CNU has made major contributions by sharing its technology
• The Nano-Field University Association in the Central Region has been organized.
• CNU has built a public and civil technology-transferring consortium in which 14 public and civil organizations participate.
• Selected as the first organization for "technology-transferring support" among the universities in Korea, CNU has worked actively for technological transfer and support to industry.
• Research Center for Advanced Magnetic Materials and New Materials Research Institute, selected as the excellent research center and Research Support Institute, has received US $12 million (15 billion won) from the government for its researches.
