policy
- To establish ERP systems throughout the entire fields of KAIST to provide advanced education and research services
- To perform Joint R&D in the field of ubiquitous
- Agreement signed at KAIST on April 5
KAIST (President Nam-Pyo Suh) and Oracle Korea (President Sam-Soo Pyo) signed an agreement on the industry-academy cooperation program for the establishment and joint researches of advanced education services system on April 5 at 11 am.
KAIST and Oracle Korea will establish an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system ‘ORACLE People Soft (PSFT) Campus Solution’ at KAIST. ‘PSFT Campus Solution’ refers to a university-oriented ERP system dominating world market share and will be introduced to KAIST for the first time among Korean universities. The establishment of ERP system and next-generation web services throughout KAIST will enhance KAIST’s management abilities over education and research, thereby making possible the offering of advanced education services. The both also agreed to promote joint researches in the field of ubiquitous.
Major cooperation items are ▲ the establishment and operation of ERP systems, ▲ the creation of advanced education services model for universities in Korea and East Asia and the setting-up of foundation for standard information services, ▲ the exploration of and participation in joint concerns, ▲ the establishment of joint information association for the exchanges of science and technology information, ▲ joint researches and development projects by the both parties, and ▲ education and training for the advancement of education institutes.
“The cooperation with world-class IT corporate Oracle can produce significant fruits of human power fostering and technology development in advanced fields,” KAIST President Nam-Pyo Suh said.
“The industry-academy cooperation by Oracle having a variety of world’s top IT technologies and KAIST will be a stepping stone for the advancement of domestic education institutes. I’ll devote myself to developing the models of state-of-the-art universities in the 21st century via close mutual cooperation,” said Sam-Soo Pyo, President of Oracle Korea.

research Next-Generation Biological Foundation Model, K-Fold
“Design a drug candidate that binds effectively to this protein.” In response to such a request, AI predicts the protein’s three-dimensional structure, analyzes which compounds are most likely to bind to it, and designs promising drug candidates. KAIST researchers have developed K-Fold, the world's fastest Bio-AI model for protein structure prediction, which also supports drug candidate design. KAIST (President Choongsik Bae) announced on August 28 that it had formed &ldquo

research KAIST Develops Semiconductor Neuron That Tunes Noise to Selectively Process Signals
In electronic devices, irregular fluctuations in signals are generally referred to as “noise.” Because noise interferes with accurate information processing, conventional semiconductor technology has mainly treated it as something to be reduced or eliminated. However, neurons in the human brain do not respond in exactly the same way every time, even to the same stimulus. Tiny internal variations in neurons change when and how often neurons are fired, and this probabilistic operatio

research KAIST Develops Robot That Judges Its Surroundings and Walks, Runs, and Jumps Like an Animal
An era in which robots decide "how to walk" on their own has arrived. A four-legged robot has been developed that, much like a person or an animal, autonomously chooses the appropriate gait strategy for its surroundings — changing its gait on stairs, leaping over gaps, and keeping its balance on forest trails. KAIST (President Choongsik Bae) announced on the 16th of July that a research team led by Professor Hae-Won Park from the Department of Mechanical Engineering has developed a core
