Welcome Message
that Provides Safety and Happiness to People Through construction R&D, the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology is committed to solving issues related to the everyday, creating jobs and contributing to innovative growth.
The Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) is Korea’s only government-funded research institute in the area of construction technology. Drawing on the unrivaled R&D capacities we have accumulated over upwards of 40 years, we are an institution dedicated to our social roles and responsibilities as a body for research.
The KICT is on the cusp of a new beginning, as we intend to transform our operations as follows. First, we will engage aggressively in research to resolve national-level issues that are intimately associated with the quality of life of the Korean people: smart cities, future road infrastructures, responding to climate change-induced disasters, and reducing airborne fine dust (fine particulate matter).
Furthermore, through preemptive R&D initiatives in areas associated with the national grand strategy such as the Digital New Deal and the Green New Deal, we will assume a leading role in enhancing the national competitiveness, furthering the growth of technology, nurturing a high added value construction industry, and fostering the growth of small and medium enterprises.
Lastly, we will implement advanced R&D systems, nurture global R&D talent, and foster global leaders. Through the world-class research achievements and prestigious research groups, we will assume a global construction technology leadership role.
Furthering the national happiness and resolving global issues through construction technology is the dream of “K-Construction”, and the mission of the KICT.
We thank you for your continued interest and support.
