Research Institute

The Research Institute of KUT was established to disseminate the outcomes of eminent KUT academic research to the world and thus serve as the hub of an exchange and collaboration research network for researchers around the world.

The Research Institute, established in 1999, works to provide an opportunity for outstanding researchers to develop their creative research freely, under their own responsibility. When the university became a public university corporation in 2009, the institute was drastically reorganized and its mission was redefined to focus on competition at the global cutting edge of academic research.

Currently, the institute consists of 6 Research Centers (2 units under the Center for Nanotechnology), 1 Exploratory Laboratory , 4 Focused Research Laboratories and 1 Center for Interdisciplinary Co-creation. The Exploratory Laboratory and Focused Research Labs, through concentrated investment of human resources and funding, aim to develop dynamic organization management in order to evolve as potentially independent centers in the future.
