The Last Mystery of Humanity, the Brain

Brain science represents the final, uncharted frontier of science in the 21st century, as its secrets and mysteries remain unrevealed. KBRI, thoroughly dedicated to brain research since 2011, is the national brain research institute of Korea, aiming to become the world’s leading brain research organization.

KBRI is now striving to launch bold, ambitious national flagship research projects under our philosophies of big science, convergence science, and open science. In order to achieve our goals, KBRI will concentrate on nationwide research competence and establish a hub-and-spoke model in cooperation with research centers in the national and global neuroscience communities. I firmly believe that the hub-and-spoke strategy will enhance the research competitiveness of Korea and create a well-balanced environment for brain research.

Our challenges will extend to commercializing research outcomes based on interactive convergence in brain research. KBRI will contribute to realize more creative achievements in research and development and will reinforce a new ecosystem of research.

KBRI will put more effort into fostering open communication, solidifying rational management, seeking sustainable innovation, and building close partnerships with the globlal neuroscience community. These efforts will ensure that KBRI plays a crucial role in strengthening national competitiveness in the area of brain research, thus ultimately transforming Korea into one of the foremost countries spearheading brain science.

Thank you.
