event
Open forums for envisioning the next 30 years for Korea from the perspective of young people will be held in five metropolitan cities in Korea. Organized by KAIST and hosted by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning and the Committee for the 70th Anniversary of Korean Liberation, the Next Generation Open Forum 2045 invites young people to shape the future image of Korea for the upcoming 100th anniversary of Korean liberation. It will start off with its first event on September 22 in the Millennium Hall of Konkuk University in Seoul.
In this event, a panel and invited guests will discuss employment issues with a view to ameliorating problems prevalent in the society. A robotics scientist, Dr. JK Han will address the impact of robot automation on the job issue as a keynote speaker, and a performance featuring human-size robot actor will follow his talk to celebrate the opening of the event.
Invited guests can actively participate in the discussion by suggesting their opinions on job issue of the future and by voting on their smartphone apps during the event. Every opinion conveyed during the discussion will be printed and put in a time capsule, which will be opened in 2045 for the celebration of 100th anniversary of Korean liberation.
The Moon Soul Graduate School of Future Strategy of KAIST will organize events in five cities including Daegu, Daejeon, Busan, and Gwangju with topics including education, science and technology, unification diplomacy, and culture. The event will end with a symposium held in Seoul. Perspective applicants can apply for free to the Next Generation Open Forum 2045 on the official website of the Committee for the 70th Anniversary of Korean Liberation.

research KAIST develops world’s most sensitive light-powered photodetector—20 times more sensitive, operating without electricity
<(From left) Ph.D cadidate Jaeha Hwang, Ph.D candidate Jungi Song ,Professor Kayoung Lee from Electrical Engineering> Silicon semiconductors used in existing photodetectors have low light responsivity, and the two-dimensional semiconductor MoS₂ (molybdenum disulfide) is so thin that doping processes to control its electrical properties are difficult, limiting the realization of high-performance photodetectors. The KAIST research team has overcome this technical limitation and developed
