GIST Introduction

    Our society recognizes, and thus welcomes, scientific and technological experts with not only insight into specialized fundamental knowledge, but strong leadership skills as well. Accordingly, GIST was established by the Korean Ministry of Science and Technology in 1993. The Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology decided to provide full support to all GIST students in order to facilitate scientific technologists with advanced leadership skills.
