Korea University-DGIST Joint Symposium: Collaborative Research in AI, Bio, Energy, and Quantum Fields

DGIST (President Lee Geonwoo), together with Korea University (President Kim Dongwon), held the "Korea University-DGIST Joint Symposium" at 2 p.m. on October 31 at the Korea Ilbo Hall in the main auditorium of Korea University.

This joint symposium was organized to strengthen the foundation for joint research in future convergence fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), quantum, bio, and energy, and to establish a sustainable cooperation system, based on the cooperation and credit exchange agreement signed by the two universities in June.

Approximately 30 participants attended the event, including the presidents, vice presidents, key professors, and researchers from both universities. The program included presentations of joint research proposals, a panel discussion, and a networking dinner.

Lee Geonwoo, President of DGIST, stated, "Today marks a meaningful occasion as both universities take the first step toward actual joint research cooperation based on our previous agreement. I look forward to both institutions growing together and creating an innovative research ecosystem through active convergence research."

Kim Dongwon, President of Korea University, said, "This symposium is the starting point for academic convergence and practical joint research between the two institutions. By connecting our talents, technologies, and research infrastructure, we will become a driving force for the future of science and technology in Korea."

During the symposium, five researchers from DGIST and six researchers from Korea University presented joint research proposals in various fields, including AI, quantum computing, robotics, digital twin, and precision medicine. The subsequent panel discussion focused on "Strategies for Building Flagship Projects in Strategic Fields to Promote Joint Research," with both universities discussing directions for collaboration and ways to identify strategic research projects.

Building on this symposium, the two universities plan to expand their cooperation to include regular joint symposiums, the identification of joint research projects in various fields, and the cultivation of next-generation researchers. Furthermore, they aim to jointly lead the advancement of future science and technology through ongoing research collaboration and convergence innovation.
