KAIST has renovated its International Kitchen on campus which will serve 850 international faculty members and students for their cooking, meal service, and networking. The kitchen, composed of a kitchen and cafeteria, is equipped to prepare a wide variety of food, with a large kitchen countertop, cabinets, and a refrigerator to accommodate everything necessary to cook and prepare meals for large groups.
An opening ceremony to celebrate the brand new International Kitchen was held on May 15, 2014, with the participation of President Steve Kang and international members.
President Kang said, “KAIST has been working quite hard to provide its international faculty and students with the best possible environment for their education and research. We offer a full coverage of healthcare and free dormitories to our international students, as well as newly built apartments to our international faculty members. The International Kitchen is an extension of such efforts.”
The international students or faculty who wish to use the International Kitchen need to register for the membership. The kitchen will be voluntarily operated and managed by the registered members.
