Governance
Every member of the board earned their final degree at KAIST or Seoul National University, and the academic advisors hold doctorates from KAIST and Seoul National University. Around the board sits an external advisory council of eight panels — academic advisors, law and intellectual property, medicine, public finance, AI platforms, large-corporate practice, technology commercialization, and sports and health — together with industry partners with whom the institute publishes joint research.
