KAIST (originally the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) is a national research university located in Daedeok Innopolis, Daejeon, South Korea. KAIST was established by the Korean government in 1971 as the nation's first public, research-oriented science and engineering institution.[3] KAIST is considered to be one of the most prestigious universities in the nation.[4][5] KAIST has been internationally accredited in business education,[6] and hosts the Secretariat of the Association of Asia-Pacific Business Schools (AAPBS).[7] KAIST has 10,504 full-time students and 1,342 faculty researchers (as of the Fall 2019 Semester) and had a total budget of US$765 million in 2013, of which US$459 million was from research contracts.
