With the leadership of South Korea, the TEIN Initiative was first endorsed by ASEM3, which was held in Seoul in October of 2000.
As part of the 4th project, TEIN*CC will establish this super speed international research network by March of 2016 in order to play the role of accelerating international joint research in high-tech fields, such as information and communications and biotechnology
Along with the establishment and operation of the international research network, TEIN*CC is planning to support developing nations in increasing ICT technology and services as well as vitalizing research cooperation.
