Korea In­sti­tute of Sci­ence and Tech­no­logy In­form­a­tion

With the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI), the Paderborn University and especially the Department of Business Informatics have been able to win an internationally renowned partner for an extensive research cooperation. The state-funded KISTI in the metropolis of Daejeon is South Korea's leading research institute in the field of information technologies. The main focus is on promoting national competitiveness in science and technology. Through its strong practical orientation, KISTI is able to put customer benefit at the center of its research efforts and thus to be innovative and pioneering. The different focus of the cooperation partners offers the ideal starting point for a long-term exchange of knowledge and experience.

In July 2013, the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding created a basis for cooperation that defines common research cornerstones and contains the framework conditions for a student exchange programme. The first students of the Paderborn University left for South Korea in 2014.
