Obituary for Dr.Chun-Sik Lee
                 KIST Europe mourns the passing of Professor Dr. Chun-Sik Lee/                 KIST Europe trauert um Herrn Professor Dr. Chun-Sik Lee                     * 08 September 1936,       † 24 December 2023============================================================================================================[ENG]Dr. Chun-Sik Lee received his master's degree in mechanical engineering from RWTH Aachen University in 1964 and his doctorate in engineering from the Technical University of Berlin in November 1968. In the following years, he worked as head of research and development at Büttner-Schilde-Hass AG and Turbon-Tunzini-Klimatechnik GmbH in Germany until 1977.From July 1974 to June 1976, he served as the president of the Korean Scientists and Engineers Association in the Federal Republic of Germany (VeKNI). After the establishment of KIST Europe Forschungsgesellschaft mbH in Saarbrücken on 15 May 1996, Dr Chun-Sik Lee headed the institute until 31 July 2001. KIST Europe was funded by the Korean government in 1996 as an overseas research institute and is the only research branch of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology outside Korea.Prior to this, Dr Chun-Sik Lee and Hans-Jürgen Warnecke, President of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, had initiated a Memorandum of Understanding in 1995, which formed the basis for KIST Europe. With the help of the management of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, a concept was drawn up regarding research areas, potential locations, the size of the facility and its organisation, operation and financing.On 16 February 1996, at the opening ceremony of KIST Europe, Dr Chun-Sik Lee was appointed as the first director of the institute, and on 8 May 1996 the official registration for Germany took place. In the five years that Dr Chun-Sik Lee served as the first director of the Institute, he made significant contributions to the establishment and expansion of KIST Europe. We will always honour his memory and achievements. Our thoughts and condolences are with his family:In deep mourning,The employees of KIST Europe Forschungsgesellschaft mbH[DEU]Dr. Chun-Sik Lee erlangte seinen Abschluss in Maschinenbau als Diplom-Ingenieur im Jahr 1964 an der RWTH Aachen und promovierte im November 1968 an der Technischen Universität Berlin zum Doktor der Ingenieurwissenschaften. In den darauffolgenden Jahren arbeitete er bis 1977 als Abteilungsleiter für Forschung und Entwicklung bei der deutschen Firma Büttner-Schilde-Hass AG sowie bei der Turbon-Tunzini-Klimatechnik GmbH.Von Juli 1974 bis Juni 1976 bekleidete er das Amt des Präsidenten des Vereins Koreanischer Naturwissenschaftler und Ingenieure in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland e.V. (VeKNI).Anschließend trat er 1977 in das Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) ein, zunächst als Direktor der Abteilung Forschungsplanung, später dann als Direktor der Abteilung für mechanische Steuerungssysteme.Nach der Gründung der KIST Europe Forschungsgesellschaft mbH am 15. Mai 1996 in Saarbrücken leitete Dr. Chun-Sik Lee das Institut bis zum 31. Juli 2001. KIST Europe wurde 1996 als Forschungsinstitut im Ausland durch die koreanische Regierung finanziert und ist der einzige Forschungszweig des Korea Institute of Science and Technology außerhalb von Korea.Zuvor hatte Dr. Chun-Sik Lee 1995 gemeinsam mit Hans-Jürgen Warnecke, dem Präsidenten der Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, ein Memorandum of Understanding auf den Weg gebracht, das die Grundlage für KIST Europe bildet. Mit Hilfe des Fraunhofer Managements wurde ein Konzept über Forschungsbereiche, potenzielle Standorte, Größe der Einrichtung sowie in Bezug auf Organisation, Betrieb und Finanzierung erstellt.Am 16. Februar 1996 war es dann soweit: Bei der Eröffnungszeremonie von KIST Europe wurde Dr. Chun-Sik Lee zum ersten Direktor des Instituts ernannt, und am 8. Mai 1996 erfolgte die offizielle Registrierung für Deutschland.In den fünf Jahren, in denen Dr. Chun-Sik Lee als erster Institutsdirektor tätig war, trug er maßgeblich dazu bei, KIST Europe zu etablieren und auszubauen. Ihm und seinen Verdiensten werden wir stets ein ehrendes Andenken bewahren. Unsere Gedanken und Anteilnahme sind bei seiner Familie:In tiefer Trauer,die Mitarbeitenden der KIST Europe Forschungsgesellschaft mbH--------------- ◆ Contact / KontaktKatharina Lee        (Tochter von Dr. Chun-Sik Lee)    / katharina.lee@lrz.uni-muenchen.deDr. Kyu Young Lee  (Verwaltungsleiter, KIST Europe) / kylee@kist-europe.de
