Greetings from the Director
Since the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age to now, human history has been with development of materials.
Korea Institute of Materials Science was established to contribute to the national technology innovation as carrying out comprehensive research development related to material technology, test assessment, and technology support.
It is the generation that a quiet material revolution leads industrial development.
Secure of advanced science technology is the state's competitive power. There is an implication from the fact that advanced countries in science technology secure superiority in material technology without exception.
Korea is in between advanced countries' prominent technology competitive power and development countries' abundant human resources. As well as there is a challenge of high trade dependency towards japan in the component material field.
In addition, as having emphasized on fusion and innovation, economic development based on creative ideas is important. Therefore, science technology should take a role of bridge to have various ideas applied in the industry.
In order to accomplish all, there should be strong investment and research of materials.
Korea Institute of Materials Science will take a role of pivot to lead industrial development with the belief that the beginning of national development should be solid.
Korea Institute of Materials Science has devoted research to foster international scholars and become international research center in the material field. In addition, researchers are proud of studying and their results will provide trust to customers to achieve 20 world best technology in 2020. We appreciate your attention and interests while Korea Institute of Materials Science developing as a professional total research center.
Thank you.
