KAIST was established in 1971, so now it’s about 46 years in running. The circumstance under which it is established is noteworthy. At the time, unlike now, Korea was a rather poor country with GDP around 300 US dollars; the leadership felt that the way out of poverty was to transform the national economy from one that’s agriculture based to manufacturing-based. For that, people trained in high-level R&D in science and technology were needed. Hence, KAIST was founded under a special law, with the main mission of providing the R&D workforce needed to transform the Korean economy. KAIST has fulfilled the mission very well Now more than four decades later, Korea is an economic powerhouse (#12 in the world GDP-wise) and KAIST is recognized as one of the main contributors to this success story. KAIST was first established in Seoul as a graduate only school. In 1989, it merged with an undergraduate only institution, Korea Institute of Technology, to become a complete university, and moved its main campus to Daejeon. From supporting industrialization of Korea in the first two decades, now it’s leading high-tech advancement of Korea and the world.

Of them. about 60% are graduate students and 40% undergraduates. 58,000 students KAIST including more than 11,000 PhDs have been educated at since 1971. More than 70% of our undergraduate students come from a very specialized group of high schools called Science High schools. Only students highly talented in Science and Math are allowed to enter these high schools so the quality of students we get from these high schools is very high. Thompson Reuters ranked KAIST at the 1st place in its Asia’s Most Innovative University Rankings for 2017, and at the 6th in its World’s Most Innovative University for 2016. In addition, QS ranked KAIST at 41th in its World University Ranking. So it is well recognized as a top world-class university. KAIST has supplied the bulk of R&D workforce in Korea, For example nearly 25% of Samsung’s R&D workface are KAIST graduates. Many of our PhD graduates joined academia. Nearly 20% of Engineering faculty in Korea are KAIST graduates. Many graduates also joined ventures and SMEs and nearly 20% of them became CEOs.

All the numbers regarding the publications, patents, and tech transfers are excellent and competitive with any top institution in the world. Besides them, you can see a few remarkable KAIST research achievements during the past few years. The Humanoid Robot, DRC-HUBO developed by a KAIST team led by Prof. Junho Oh won the 2015 DARPA Robotics Challenge, which is the biggest robotics competition in the world. It beat out the giants like MIT, CMU, JPL, and Lockheed Martin. Prof. Byung-jin Cho developed a wearable thermoelectric generator, transferring the body heat to electricity; this invention won the Grand Prize at the UNESCO Netexplo Forum. In addition, Many alumni of KAIST are leading the IT industry of Korea. Our graduates have developed IT giants, like Nexon which is a dominant leader of the global online games market; Naver which is considered a Korean Google; and Neowiz which is a leading mobile game company. I hope all of you will have a chance to visit our campus and get to know better what we do. Thank you and let’s move on to the main talk.
