KAIST was established in 1971 to model a research focused university and to foster elite human resources in science and technology needed by the nation. Currently, KAIST has successfully become a well-respected member of the worldwide science community In the future, KAIST must become a university in which the world lays its eye upon, by discovering the best leaders, offering the best education, and becoming the envy of the academic world, not only within Korea but all over the world through the university’s first invention.

The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) was founded in 1966 as the premier multi-disciplinary research institute in Korea. Its main goal is to lead Korea’s science and technology infrastructure in research, development, and transfer of creative, original technologies. The main campus is located in Seoul with branch campuses in Gangneung and Jeonbuk, Korea. KIST Europe was established in Saarbruecken, Germany to facilitate collaboration with the European community. Research areas include brain science, biomedical science, materials/devices, robotics/systems, energy, environment, and life/health. * Youtube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLJtuxDBeSpf-d3m6f_DKtA * Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/kist_pr/ * Naver Blog : https://blog.naver.com/kist_public * Twitter : https://twitter.com/kistpublic

Since the founding in 1977, the KIER has had focused on energy technology R&D which is closely related with our living standards and national security while overcoming the challenges we have faced as a resource poor country. KIER's R&D areas include improving efficiency and securing environment-friendly way in use of limited conventional energy resources such as oil, coal as well as natural gas and exploring new energy sources such as solar, wind and water as well as its commercialization. The KIER also strives towards technology transfer which can be reflected in successful commercialization of our remarkable R&D outcomes by means of industrialization of excellent intellectual property rights, enlarging its R&D activity in bottleneck technology based on small and medium sized enterprises, and communicating actively with markets through "1 researcher to 1 enterprise" technique guidance. enlarging its R&D activity in bottleneck technology based on small and medium sized enterprises, and communicating actively with markets through "1 researcher to 1 enterprise" technique guidance. Energy has had a significant influence not only on living standards in a society, but also upon national competitiveness and security. Therefore, the KIER will do its best in developing energy technology for future generations.
