ICISTS-KAIST 2009
(International Conference for the Integration of Science and Technology into
Society)
ICISTS-KAIST, the largest and most prestigious International Conference in
Asia, would like to once again welcome you this summer.
ICISTS-KAIST holds three workshops bound under our main theme of integration of
science and technology into society. The delegates in each workshop will
actively participate in team projects, debates, and various other programs
after attending lectures by eminent orators.
Q) What will the delegates do at ICISTS-KAIST 2009?
#1. Sessions with prestigious lecturers
We invite numerous great professionals from various fields of expertise. Las
summer, we had the pleasure of welcoming Michael Pollitt, a
twenty-seven-year-old CEO of the Shadow Robot Company; Steven Dubowsky, a
professor at MIT; and Jim Dator, Director of the Hawaii Future Research
Toffler.
You may look forward to meeting other great lecturers at ICISTS-KAIST 2009!
#2. Integration of science and technology into society
You will have gained an insightful opinion after having several in-depth
discussions
involving science and technology. The topics are carefully chosen from current
science issues that have significant impact on our society. We guarantee that
you will have broadened your view of the issues after the conference.
#3. Interaction with an international student body
At ICISTS-KAIST 2009, you will interact with students from almost 30 different
countries, as well as Korean students from top universities in Korea, to form a
world-wide human network.
Social events include the Gala Night, the closing ceremony of ICISTS-KAIST when
all delegates celebrate the end of our 4-day program. All delegates of the
conference will share special memories and keep in touch even long after the
close of the conference.
ICISTS-KAIST is an event in which you can develop an astute perspective and
meet with international global leaders. In a world where science never ceases
to undergo rapid development and affect society, students more educated and
more concerned in the field of science and technology are needed. Attending
lectures by eminent orators and interacting with other students, delegates will
