About KIST Europe - Korea Institute of Science and Technology Europe Forschungsgesellschaft mbH

The Korea Institute of Science and Technology in Europe (KIST Europe) was established in 1996 in Saarbrücken, Germany, as an overseas branch of the KIST in Seoul, Korea.

A decade ago, at a  time when the globalization of science and technology was a new concept, the KIST Europe was the first and only Korean government commissioned R&D institute abroad with R&D capability in its own right.

Since then, the KIST Europe has endeavored to build global S&T networks with prominent EU research institutes in the field of basic and application orientated researches.
 
Its partners are research institutes and industrial companies in Europe and Korea. Together with its partners, the KIST Europe solves problems and develops technologies which can be utilized on both continents. Its vision is to be the core of scientific and technological cooperation between Korea and EU countries.
 
The KIST Europe has grown from the small seed sown 10 years ago, and is now preparing
for another powerful leap forward with the construction of a 2nd research building.
Over the next 10 years, the KIST Europe plans to further accelerate cooperation between Korea and EU countries, including Germany.

By the end of the next decade, the KIST Europe will have grown to be one of the most respected and top-quality R&D institutes recognized by EU community.
