Yesterday the new president of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Sung-Mo Kang, visited DTU.
KAIST is Korea´s the leading technical university and one of DTU's main alliance partners.
During the visit the presidents signed two agreements which are mainly aimed at strengthening the two universities cooperation about fuel cell research and the organization of a new dual degree on ocean engineering systems.
The alliance is based on the ”National Green Growth Alliance”. The goal of the alliance is to promote Denmark and Koreas political, commercial and technological collaborations in the fields of green technology and growth.
In 2011 DTU and KAIST signed an agreement to establish a Danish – Korean ”Green Technology Research Center”. The centre for green technology research includes research collaborations within the following areas:
- Intregrated Water Technology
- Biosustainability
- Off Shore Wind Turbine Systems
- Battery Research and Development
- Biorefinery
Furthermore, education is an important part of the cooperation between KAIST and DTU. Since 2009 five joint MSc Dual Degrees has been established. You can read more about the different Dual Degrees in the box on the right.
