Our center was selected in 2020 for the Engineering Research Center (ERC) program, a major research initiative funded by the National Research Foundation of Korea and the Ministry of Science and ICT. We are currently conducting a seven-year research project scheduled to run through 2027.

We aim to pioneer foundational technologies for the global IT industry by developing the world’s first flexible computer. Building on advances in precision mechanics, semiconductor materials, device design, rheology, and AI technologies, we strive to establish a new technological paradigm.

Specifically, we are working to develop a Roll-to-Roll (R2R) printed foundry platform capable of manufacturing 4-bit computers on ultra-low-cost flexible substrates. By securing independent core technologies in materials, components, and equipment, we seek to lead the trillion-won IoT, smart packaging, and biochip industries through next-generation printed electronics.

Just as silicon-based chips triggered the transition from the analog era to the digital age in the 1960s, we aim to drive the next wave of ICT innovation through the development of flexible computers. Our center is committed to cultivating a world-class research community that will lead future industries and advance related technologies.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support and interest.
Thank you.
