Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH)

POSTECH aspires to become a global leader in select research areas such as ICT/AI, biotech and healthcare, energy and materials, smart city, and basic science. Complemented by excellent research institutes and infrastructures that are second-to-none in Asia including the Max Plank Korea/POSTECH, the Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics, the Graduate Institute of Ferrous & Energy Materials Technology, and the Institute of Membrane Proteins, POSTECH seeks new breakthroughs in basic and applied research that can propel our world forward.

POSTECH conducts bold and creative research in basic science and our synchrotron radiation accelerators are an enormous asset. In fact, POSTECH and Stanford University are the only two universities in the world to operate such research facilities on their own. POSTECH houses the 3rd generation radiation accelerator (the 5th of its kind in the world) and the 4th generation accelerator, only the 3rd of its kind in the world.
