>> KAIST

  KAIST (formerly the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), is located in Daedeok Science Town, Daejeon, South Korea. KAIST was established by Korean government in 1971 as the nation's first research oriented science and engineering institution. KAIST is one of the nation's most prestigious science and technology institutions.

>> Bio and Brain Engineering Dept

  It is our mission at the Department of Bio and Brain Engineering to cultivate specialized talent equipped to create new knowledge and added value in the fields of Bioengineering and Brain Engineering, which will lead the way for future societies by standing at the nexus of life sciences, the medical sciences, and engineering. The Department of Bio and Brain Engineering opened its doors in 2002 embracing the mission of donor Moon-Soul Chung who said, “Foster talent and develop technology that will feed and support future.” Analogous departments at prestigious universities around the world began at similar times indicating the cutting-edge nature of this department.

>> KI Building

  The Chunghi & Byiung Jun (BJ) Park KAIST Institute Building (KI Building) was established for researchers to secure physical proximity to be able to exchange ideas and opinions and cooperate in research activities by a generous contribution from Dr. Byiung Jun (BJ) Park and Mrs. Chunghi Park, and Korean government. The KI Building has 21,120 square meters of total floor space with five floors above ground and one underground. The exterior will symbolize KAIST's vision and challenging spirit, and, at the same time, a flexibility and openness will be emphasized in the design of the interior. The building is located in a place that is easily accessible for researchers of all disciplines including biotechnology, IT, nanotechnology, and eco-technology. It is also ideally situated not only for our students and faculty, but also visitors from outside, because the KAIST Institutes will have a lot of external contacts for the exhibition of research results, information sharing, and intercultural activities. The KI building embodies KAIST's commitment to presenting a new model of creative and interdisciplinary research and to becoming a globally-competitive research-oriented university.
