2. 연사 이력 Yuan T. Lee Yuan Tseh Lee was born in 1936 in Taiwan. He received his B.S. degree from the National Taiwan University in 1959, M.S. degree from the National Tsinghua University in 1961, and Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1965. He joined Dudley Herschbach’s group at Harvard as a research fellow in 1967. After being appointed assistant professor at the University of Chicago in 1968, Dr. Lee rapidly made his laboratory the North American capital of molecular beam study. He returned to Berkeley as a full professor in 1974 and significantly expanded his research to also include studies of reaction dynamics, investigations of various primary photochemical processes, and the spectroscopy of ionic and molecular clusters. In 1994, he retired from his position of University Professor and Principal Investigator for the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory at the University of California at Berkeley and assumed the position of the President of Academia Sinica, the highest ranking academic institution in Taiwan consists of 30 independent institutes and 250 academicians. In 2006 he became President Emeritus and Distinguished Research Fellow at the same institution. He was elected President of the International Council for Science (ICSU) in 2008 and formally took up this position in 2011. Dr. Lee has served as advisory board member on numerous national and international organizations, including US Department of Energy, Welch Foundation, Chief Advisor of the Science and Technology Advisory Group to the Prime Minister (Taiwan), International Scientific Council of the Israeli-Palestinian Science Organization, Japan’s Science and Technology in Society Forum, RIKEN, and Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology. He has received numerous awards and honors, including the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the U.S. National Medal of Science, the Ernest O. Lawrence Award, the Harrison Howe Award, the Peter Debye Award of Physical Chemistry, Faraday Medal and Prize, Jawaharlal Nehru Birth Centenary Medal, the Othmer Gold Medal, the Ettore Majorana-Erice-Science for Peace Prize, and the Kolos Prize and Medal. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Science, a foreign member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, Göttingen Academy of Sciences, Indian Academy of Sciences, Korean Academy of Science and Technology, and Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, a member of the Academia Sinica in Taiwan, the Third World Academy of Sciences, and the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, an honorary member of the Japan Academy and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

3. 강연 초록 Energy, Environment and Our Sustainable Future Yuan T. Lee President Emeritus, Academia Sinica Taipei, Taiwan During the long history of mankind, the planet of earth seemed to be an infinitely large place. The earth was so immense that the impact of human activities to the biosphere seemed quite negligible. But after the industrial revolution and especially in the twentieth century things have changed dramatically. World population increased from 1.5 billion to 6 billion in the twentieth century and has reached 7 billion a couple of months ago. And with the advancement of communication and transportation, the earth has shrunk in relative terms. This sudden transition from “unlimited earth” to a “limited earth” has extremely significant consequences, yet the development of human society, moving along the track of infinity for a long time, has not seemed to be able to adapt to the new reality that the earth is “limited”. On the “limited earth”, perhaps the most important challenges for scientists are problems related to the climate change and environmental degradation, together with unsustainable production and consumption. Without immediate action and transformation, the survival of human society will be seriously threatened. This is the first time in human history that all human beings on earth have been faced with learning to work together and live together as one family in a global village – the time for finally realizing that the planet Earth on which we live is only finite in space, capacity and natural resources. Our future depends entirely on how effectively the entire world would function as a community. This is a necessary awakening – vital for the survival and sustainable development of mankind. I believe that if we make the correct choice at this crossroads, then the 21 st century is likely to be marked as the great turning point, or great transition – the beginning of a new era in the history of mankind.
