The 7^th IBS Art in Science

IBS holds an Art in Science contest to share with the public the artistic beauty and awe encountered by the scientists during their experiments and research. Artistic moments captured in the research process have been exhibited since 2015, and from 2020, the contest has been opened so that anyone can enter.
In particular, we are planning to collaborate with the Seoul Institute of the Arts to produce and exhibit creative works in this year's competition.

We await a variety of works containing artistic moments captured by the scientists
