Research Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology (RINST)
Research Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology (RINST) aims to attract national nanotechnology R&D projects and industry-university cooperation projects and promote nanotech expert fostering programs by planning, coordinating, and supporting nanotechnology research and development on campus. In addition, the institute connects with Ochang Industrial Complex and Osong Health and Medical Science Industrial Complex to develop core nano-based technologies such as IT, BT, and ET, and based on it, encourage start-up of new technology ventures. These activities make CBNU the largest stragetic area of the NT industry in the central region.
Organization and Management
The institute has five research divisions: Nano Device Technology, Nanomaterials Technology, Nanocircuits and Nanosystem Technology, Nanometry and Analysis Technology, and Nanobio and Environment Technology. It runs a management committee to discuss important matters such as basic management plan. It also runs an academic paper publication committee to publish an academic journal and academic materials.
