Dear European Members

From March to the end of May 2005, (also in 2006, see the link on the right side) on Wednesday afternoon, the University of Incheon organizes presentations with various representatives of the EU established in Korea. The purpose is to gather various expatriates to discover the potential of European companies and institutions, their presence here in Korea, and the good and bad of being a European in Korea.
Thus during three month, guided by motivated students, different companies are invited to visit us and, briefly introduce themselves, respond to the students questions, and have an enjoyable experience presenting their homeland and their objectives in Asia.

The atmosphere of these presentations is meant to be very pleasant for all of us, and to celebrate your participation properly, you are invited to enjoy a dinner afterwards at the University restaurant. In order to graduate, each group of students supervising one of the ten delegations will have to summarize its presentation in the various university medias.

BMW

The history of the Bavarian Motor Works is a history of innovation, dedication and determination.
These achievements are reflected in the BMW emblem, symbolizing a rotating airplane propeller from BMW's early years as an aircraft engine manufacturer. Today, the emblem signifies a global company that annually produces hundreds of thousands of engines, motorcycles, and cars.

1916 The beginnings of Bayerische Flugzeug-Werke

1917 Founding of Bayerische Motoren Werke GmbH

1948 Two-wheeled renewal

1959 BMW stays independent

1973 BMW's other "four-cylinder"

1990 BMW Research and Innovation Center

From 2000 onwards, the BMW Group realigns itself.
With the brands BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, the BMW Group has been focussing on selected premium segments in the international automobile market since the year 2000. In the succeeding years, the launch of the BMW 1 Series meant an expansion of the model range in the premium segment of the lower middle class and the BMW 6 Series did likewise in the segment of the large Coupés and Convertibles. The MINI marque was launched and production began in the Oxford plant in 2001. In 2003, the BMW Group assumed marque responsibility for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. At the same time, the Worldwide Head Office and Manufacturing Plant in Goodwood, GB, was built.

As we knew before, BMW is one of the biggest German company in Korea. So many people like this company, because cars are gorgeous.
When we prepared the presentation and when we hear about BMW from Mr. Kühner, we could have good information about how could they become a big company, how’s Korean cars in Europe, how’s the trading going between Korea and German, and so on.
Also, we had much more great time, because few students got mini cars from them.
We really thank BMW and Professors for giving us great time.!!!!

Bourjois

Bourjois History
The year was 1863, and stage actresses in Paris were bemoaning the state of makeup, as they knew it - greasy, thick, and uncomfortable to wear and damaging to the skin.
Monsieur Alexandre Napoleon Bourjois devoted his time creating a superior quality theater makeup. It was in this pursuit that he created the world's first powder blush, Pastel Joues. Bourjois' little round pots of joy while born in the 19th century, remain the signature of the brand today.

Bourjois Today
Bourjois is one of the oldest French cosmetics companies still in operation. The brand is all about color, quality and whimsy -traits present in every product in the Bourjois collection.

In addition to pushing the envelope with innovation, Bourjois products are of the highest quality. But beyond the glittering lights and famous faces, Bourjois believes that makeup is a pleasure and should be a delight for everyone.
