The institute was established to conduct systematic research on information and software applicable to various academic fields and to contribute the results to the community.
This research institute connects each professor with various domestic and international research institutes or companies so that professors can study and solve various problems in software technology. In particular, we plan to focus on developing strategic technologies to secure global competitiveness in each field, not on technology development at the level of advanced countries, and we are confident that these efforts will serve as a cornerstone to strengthen industrial competitiveness by enhancing national technology levels.
