South Korea wants to become an official member of Euro Star 2, Europe\'s largest research and development program, the Seoul government said Tuesday. Euro Star 2 is a joint R&D program run by Eureka, a network of 40 countries, mostly European, for the development of industrial technologies. South Korea joined Eureka as an associate member in 2009, becoming the first non-European country in the 40-member network, according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
