TThe Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation is a major American private foundation established in 2000 by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore and his wife, Betty. The foundation aims to foster scientific discovery, environmental conservation, patient care improvements, and the preservation of the San Francisco Bay Area.

In the realm of scientific discovery, the foundation places a powerful emphasis on quantum materials through its flagship Emergent Phenomena in Quantum Systems (EPiQS) initiative. Through this initiative, the foundation actively seeks synthesis, experimental, and theoretical investigators to advance the frontiers of quantum materials science.

The Samsung Science and Technology Foundation, established in 2013 by Samsung Electronics, is a leading private foundation in Korea that supports basic science research. By championing high-risk, high-impact projects, the foundation empowers researchers to define new problems, tackle highly challenging issues, and push the boundaries of basic science.

Beyond funding the foundation’s research projects, Samsung GRS (Global Research Symposium link) is another support platform where scientists can discuss discoveries, ideas, insights, and challenges in a relaxed atmosphere. At the same time, it provides participants with opportunities to meet new peers and initiate various collaborations.
