The International Office at KAIST hosted a year-end party for international students and faculty at the main auditorium on campus on December 2, 2015.
The party featured music and art performances by international students and offered various ethnic cuisine and drinks.
Sung-Hyon Myaeng, the Associate Vice President of International Office at KAIST, said,
“About 788 international students from 88 different countires are currently studying at KAIST. We also have 163 international faculty members from 31 countries working at the campus. These figures have grown steadily over the past years. KAIST will continue to attract more students and professors from the global community, making the campus a vibrant place where diverse cultures and global views are exchanged and shared.”

research KAIST Develops Sodium Battery Capable of Rapid Charging in Just a Few Seconds
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

research KAIST introduces microbial food as a strategy food production of the future
The 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

research A KAIST-SNUH Team Devises a Way to Make Mathematical Predictions to find Metabolites Related to Somatic Mutations in Cancers
Cancer 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
