BASIC SCIENCE (BS)
Basic sciences, including mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, and earth science, explore the intricate workings of natural phenomena. These disciplines form the foundation of scientific inquiry, offering insights into the fundamental processes governing the universe. Through rigorous study, we enhance our comprehension of matter's transformations, unlocking the mysteries of the cosmos and the complexities of life.
At the EKC2025 conference, we will focus on understanding natural phenomena and exploring the applications derived from this knowledge. We aim to bridge theoretical frameworks, from quantum mechanics to nanotechnology, with practical applications, harnessing scientific discovery to improve lives globally. We welcome abstract submissions across a wide spectrum of basic science disciplines, including mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, earth science, and related fields.

| Synopsis | Astronomy and astrophysics continue to evolve at an unprecedented pace, offering not just glimpses into our cosmic past but reshaping our understanding of the universe's fundamental nature. Recent advancements in observational technologies and theoretical frameworks have opened new frontiers in our exploration of space, from the earliest moments of cosmic history to the detection of increasingly Earth-like exoplanets. In our proposed session, we will explore the next generation of astronomical research that promises to revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos.
Central to our discussion will be the emerging technologies and methodologies that will define the future of astronomy. From quantum sensors and artificial intelligence in data analysis to upcoming space telescopes and ground-based observatories, we will examine how these innovations are pushing the boundaries of what we can observe and understand. The session will highlight how these advanced tools are enabling us to probe deeper into cosmic mysteries, from the nature of dark matter and energy to the potential for life beyond Earth.
As we venture into this new era of astronomical discovery, each breakthrough not only answers long-standing questions but also reveals new mysteries that challenge our understanding of the universe. This session aims to illuminate these emerging frontiers and inspire new perspectives on humanity's greatest cosmic questions.

| Synopsis | Background : The COVID-19 pandemic posed a significant threat to global public health, instilling fear and uncertainty worldwide. However, the emergence of such novel infectious diseases has underscored the critical importance of scientifically informed public health policies. In particular, mathematical modeling and dashboard platforms have played a crucial role in pandemic response. During the early stages of COVID-19, these tools predicted outbreaks and guided social distancing measures. After vaccines were introduced, they helped optimize intervention strategies, including vaccine prioritization, supply estimation, and healthcare capacity planning to prevent system collapse.
Purpose and Significance : This session will focus on discussions regarding the development and implementation of infectious disease modeling and data-driven integrated analysis and forecasting systems, not only for novel emerging infectious diseases but also for infectious diseases with various characteristics. Our session will offer an opportunity to introduce infectious disease dashboard systems implemented in leading countries such as the UK and to access the current progress and future prospects of developing data-driven predictive dashboard for infectious diseases in Korea. These infectious disease modeling-based predictive systems will serve as core technologies that provide scientific evidence for public health policies.
Session Structure : The session will be organized by Professor Eunok Jung’s research team. The team is actively engaged in the Government-Wide R&D Fund for Infectious Disease Research (GFID) project in Korea.

| Synopsis | Processes that are essential to living systems and materials science often involve not only many different components, but also rely on complex physical phenomena that are not yet well understood. Interactions between the various components of which a system is composed as well as the response of these components to environmental conditions play an essential role for their function and temporal evolution. Just to mention a few examples, mass transport of macromolecules within the crowded environment of the cytosol depends on the local type of geometrical constraints and specific interactions with the crowders, proteins aggregation and self assembly depends on the amount and type of salt that is present and is affected by external electric fields, bacterial film formation is a self-assembly process where secreted molecular substances severly affect the interactions between bacteria, self-propulsion (of for example spermia) is affected by a geometrically constraining environment, and mass transport of (bio-)macromolecules is affected by the presence of temperature gradients. This session aims to present and discuss new findings and the basic understanding related to, necessarily a few, of such complex phenomana. |
