Reuters News released a list of the World’s Top 100 Most Innovative Universities on September 15, 2015.
Nine of the top ten universities on the list were American institutions. KAIST took tenth place, the only non-American and Asian university to do so.
Stanford University ranked first, followed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in second, and Harvard University in third.
The inaugural Reuters Top 100 survey based its rankings on ten criteria: patent volume, patent successes, global patents, patent citations, patent citation impact, percent of patents cited, patent to article citation impact, industry article citation impact, percent of industry collaborative articles, and the total number of science papers.
Japan had nine universities in the survey, more than all countries except for the United States. South Korea has a total of eight universities on the list including Pohang University of Science and Technology, Seoul National University, Yonsei University, and Hanyang University.

Sodium (Na), which is over 500 times more abundant than lithium (Li), has recently garnered significant attention for its potential in sodium-ion battery technologies. However, existing sodium-ion batteries face fundamental limitations, including lower power output, constrained storage properties, and longer charging times, necessitating the development of next-generation energy storage materials. On the 11th of April, KAIST (represented by President Kwang Hyung Lee) announced that a research t
2024-04-18The global food crisis is increasing due to rapid population growth and declining food productivity to climate change. Moreover, today's food production and supply system emit a huge amount of carbon dioxide, reaching 30% of the total amount emitted by humanity, aggravating climate change. Sustainable and nutritious microbial food is attracting attention as a key to overcoming this impasse. KAIST (President Kwang Hyung Lee) announced on April 12th that Research Professor Kyeong Rok Choi of th
2024-04-12A team of Korean researchers is making headlines by developing a new memory device that can be used to replace existing memory or used in implementing neuromorphic computing for next-generation artificial intelligence hardware for its low processing costs and its ultra-low power consumption. KAIST (President Kwang-Hyung Lee) announced on April 4th that Professor Shinhyun Choi's research team in the School of Electrical Engineering has developed a next-generation phase change memory* device fe
2024-04-04Cancer is characterized by abnormal metabolic processes different from those of normal cells. Therefore, cancer metabolism has been extensively studied to develop effective diagnosis and treatment strategies. Notable achievements of cancer metabolism studies include the discovery of oncometabolites* and the approval of anticancer drugs by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that target enzymes associated with oncometabolites. Approved anticancer drugs such as ‘Tibsovo (active ingre
2024-03-18A KAIST research team has developed an effective wireless system that monitors the wound healing process by tracking the spatiotemporal temperature changes and heat transfer characteristics of damaged areas such as diabetic wounds. On the 5th of March, KAIST (represented by President Kwang Hyung Lee) announced that the research team led by Professor Kyeongha Kwon from KAIST’s School of Electrical Engineering, in association with Chung-Ang University professor Hanjun Ryu, developed digit
