DGIST Invites Denis Noble, “pioneers of systems biology,” for Global Brain Engineering Seminar
The Brain Engineering Convergence Research Center at DGIST (President Kunwoo Lee) successfully hosted the Glocal Lab Neuro Replica Special Seminar, featuring Denis Noble, Professor Emeritus at the University of Oxford, from April 1 to 3.This seminar aimed to enhance the research profile and global research capabilities of the Glocal Lab Project, currently being conducted by the Brain Engineering Convergence Research Center. It was attended by the Director of the Brain Engineering Convergence Research Center, Jiwoong Choi, along with 60 key representatives from industrial, academic, and research institutions, including Kyungpook National University Chilgok Hospital (Gisu Park, Howon Lee), Kumoh National Institute of Technology (Hanjoon Kim), and Korea Brain Research Institute (Jongcheol Rah, Sungjin Jeong).The invited speaker, Professor Noble, is a world-renowned scientist who established the foundations of Systems Biology by developing the worlds first mathematical model of cardiac electrical activity. In 1979, he became a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) and currently serves as a Distinguished Chair Professor in the Department of Biomedical Science and Engineering at DGIST.On April 1, Professor Noble delivered two consecutive special lectures at the International Conference Hall, attracting strong interest from attendees. His lectures, titled A Physiological Bioengineering Approach for Finding Causes and Cures for Complex Diseases and A Novel Approach to Genetics and Cancer, highlighted the latest research trends and proposed future directions in medicine. Subsequently, DGIST researchers delivered presentations, sparking lively discussions between distinguished and emerging scholars and researchers.On April 2 and 3, in-depth research consultations and paper meetings were held for DGIST researchers at the DGIST Brain Engineering Convergence Research Center and the Daegu Scale Up Hub (DASH). Professor Noble provided insights into convergence research on complex physiological mechanisms and led practical mentoring sessions.Professor Jiwoong Choi, Director of the Brain Engineering Convergence Research Center at DGIST, stated, It was a meaningful opportunity to invite world-class professor Denis Noble and to enhance the international research capabilities of the Glocal Lab Project carried out at our center, adding, We will strengthen our global academic standing in the field of brain engineering convergence, using this event as a stepping stone.
DGIST emerges as a “global research hub” attracting world-class scholars and talent
- Applications for the DGIST Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (D-SURF) surged compared to the previous year, demonstrating the universitys growing global research competitiveness- Hosted WEEFSummit (AEDS 2026) in May, positioning DGIST as a leader in education and research across AsiaDGIST (President Kunwoo Lee) announced that the 2026 DGIST Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (D-SURF) program, conducted for outstanding undergraduates worldwide, received a record number of applications, further securing its status as a global research-focused university.The D-SURF program received a total of 773 applications this year, more than threefold increase (approximately 203%) compared with last year (255), demonstrating explosive growth. Notably, applicants represented not only top Western universities such as Cornell University, Yale University, and Imperial College London, but also leading universities across Asia, including Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and India, demonstrating global interest in DGIST.Selected D-SURF participants will be assigned to various DGIST laboratories for six weeks, where they will actively lead hands-on research projects and develop practical research skills. In addition, participants will acquire an in-depth understanding of Korean industry and culture through cultural experiences and visits to major domestic companies.Top global talent is participating in DGIST owing to the Global Initiatives policy, strategically pursued over the past two years since President Kunwoo Lees inauguration, and the universitys world-class research infrastructure. Last year, DGIST successfully hosted the World Engineering Education Forum and Global Engineering Deans Council (WEEF dhof, have been institutionalized to share top-level global research insights. Recently, DGIST hired two dedicated coordinators for international researchers to create an immersive environment where global talent can focus entirely on their research.These efforts have led to a series of visits from major embassies and global research groups. From May 18 to 20, DGIST will host the Asian Engineering Deans Summit (AEDS), where deans from leading Asian engineering schools will discuss the future direction of engineering education, further establishing DGISTs position as a global hub for engineering innovation.The surge in D-SURF applications is a valuable outcome resulting from the synergy of DGISTs excellent research capabilities and global networking, stated DGIST President Kunwoo Lee. Building on this momentum, we aim to further develop this program into a hands-on, research-focused internship representing Korea, and to establish DGIST as a global research hub that top talent seeks out on its own.DGIST aims to actively leverage the D-SURF program to provide international undergraduates the opportunity to directly experience the universitys outstanding research environment. Through this, the university aims to identify and secure high-potential global talent in advance and actively recruit top candidates for its graduate programs in the future.
DGIST Hosted ESG Management Declaration Ceremony … “Leaping Forward as a Science and Technology Institution Ushering a Sustainable Future”
- Set forth the vision of ushering a sustainable future through creativity and inclusionThe Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of SciencePresident Kunwoo Lee) announced that it hosted the DGIST ESG Management Declaration Ceremony in the Conference Room of the Main Administration Building on March 17 (Tue) and officially declared the establishment of a sustainable management system.Environmental, social, and governance (ESG), which has recently established itself as one of the key standards across the globe, refers to a business management paradigm in which institutions and companies seek sustainability based on environmental protection, social responsibility, and transparent decision-making structures.Recognizing its responsibility to contribute to the sustainable development of society as an educational and research institution leading national science and technology, DGIST has been pursuing ESG management. DGIST aims to strengthen environmental responsibility and social value across various areas, including research, education, and administration, and to enhance transparency and trust as a public organization.In this regard, DGIST created the ESG Management Committee and has developed an institutional vision and strategic framework. More specifically, it unveiled its ESG vision titled DGIST Leading a Sustainable Future through Creativity and Inclusion and set out key directions, such as creating an eco-friendly campus, producing social value based on science and technology, and building responsible governance.At the declaration ceremony held on this day, an institutional declaration of action was read out loud along with the announcement of the ESG progress and future plan. It was attended by representatives of the university to reaffirm their commitment to action.ESG is not an option but a necessity, and it is time for education and research institutions to re-establish their roles from the perspective of sustainability, emphasized DGIST President Kunwoo Lee. Building upon our competencies in scientific and technological innovation, DGIST will usher a sustainable future by creating social value and ensuring a responsible operation of the institution.Meanwhile, by systematically managing and disclosing ESG performance and reinforcing communication with stakeholders, DGIST plans to build a globally acceptable sustainable management model.
