The South Korean tech giant plans to allocate 1.5 trillion won ($1.3 billion) throughout the 10-year program. So far, Samsung has supported 312 projects.
The newly designated projects include research into the mechanism of maintaining a healthy brain as people get older which is being conducted by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.
The tech giant is also supporting research into next-generation memory devices, along with knowhow to allow viewers to change TV screens through artificial intelligence. (Yonhap)
