KAIST has been making endless efforts in order to
contribute to human society.

  • As a research-centered university, it makes this contribution
    through creative research, leading the development of science
    and technology that will be of paramount utility to our future.
    In addition, KAIST is devoted to the cultivation of talented individuals
    that are both humane and globally competitive; by constantly
    enhancing its methods of instruction and research, the institute aims
    to produce world leaders.

 

2011 had been an eventful year for KAIST as it
marked its 40th anniversary, and there have also
been plentiful achievements in education and
research than ever before.

  • Recently, we at KAIST have categorized our most valued research
    outcomes into four principal areas of research: energy, health,
    knowledge and security. In order to further produce more creative
    knowledge through assiduous scientific and technological investigation,
    we have also proposed four research strategies: fusion technology,
    group work, big questions, and concentration on the extreme topics of
    a U shaped smile curve which focus on basic research and applied
    research.

The distinguished faculty and intrepid body of researchers at KAIST have attained a great deal of accomplishments in the four principal areas through the four strategies.

  • It is my deepest desire to introduce to you every single member of the KAIST community that have dedicated themselves day and night to the advancement of Korean science, technology, and of humanity. However, through a process of selecting 65 outstanding cases of research accomplishments, we hereby proudly introduce you to ten of KAIST’s most remarkable advancements in science and technology. We hope that this humble booklet (for general readers) will aid researchers in understanding progress in research fields other than their own, thereby encouraging interdisciplinary cooperation. On the other hand, by providing students with a better understanding of the recent developments in various fields of science and technology, we expect the booklet to contribute to general scholarship.
    Lastly, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to all the members of the KAIST community for their selfless efforts and honorable sense of duty that have made the publication of the booklet possible, and most of all for devoting themselves to education and research (despite tumultuous times).
