event
The 14th POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) and KAIST Science War took place at the KAIST campus in Daejeon on September 18-19, 2015.
Students from both universities participated in the two-day sports and science event.
The Science War has been held every September since 2002 to encourage interaction among students of the two schools. Following the rule that puts the hosting school second in the title, this year it is called the “POSTECH-KAIST War.”
The competition consists of seven events: hacking, a science quiz bowl and AI (artificial intelligence) for the science section, LOL (League of Legends) for the e-Sports section, and lastly, baseball, basketball and football for the sports section.
Of the seven events, the school that wins four or more events is declared the winner. Thus far, KAIST has had seven wins and five losses.
In addition, the cheering squads and clubs of both schools participated. They were KAIST’s ELKA, Twilight, Infinite, and MindFreak, as well as POSTECH’s Cheero, Bremen, Stiller, and P-Funk perform.

research KAIST Develops AI That Automatically Designs Optimal Drug Candidates for Cancer-Targeting Mutations
< (From left) Ph.D candidate Wonho Zhung, Ph.D cadidate Joongwon Lee , Prof. Woo Young Kim , Ph.D candidate Jisu Seo > Traditional drug development methods involve identifying a target protin (e.g., a cancer cell receptor) that causes disease, and then searching through countless molecular candidates (potential drugs) that could bind to that protein and block its function. This process is costly, time-consuming, and has a low success rate. KAIST researchers have developed an AI model th
