The SAMSUNG Global Research Outreach (GRO) Program 2014

The SAMSUNG Global Research Outreach (GRO) Program is SAMSUNG's (Samsung Electronics & affiliated Samsung companies) academic research collaboration platform. We annually invite world-class university researchers to submit innovative research proposals to foster collaborative relationships.

Selected proposals will receive financial support for one year ranging from USD $70,000 to $100,000 including reasonable overhead. In some cases, larger awards may be possible for especially outstanding proposals. Awards may be renewed up to three years, based on research outcomes and necessity for further research partnership driven by SAMSUNG. Joint research proposals from multiple universities may also be accepted.

The GRO Program represents an opportunity for SAMSUNG and universities to build a mutually beneficial research relationship. We look forward to your participation.

2014 GRO Program is seeking proposals in twelve (12) research themes. Under the research themes, there are forty (40) special subjects this year. Each special subject has a detailed Call for Proposal on the GRO homepage. We actively seek collaboration on the special subjects, but we welcome other subject submissions because innovation has no boundaries.
