The building of the Korea Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS)

The Korea Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS) is an advanced research institute in South Korea . It is located on a 30-acre (12 ha) campus in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul.[1]

KIAS was founded in 1996, aiming to become a world leading research institute where international elite scholars gather and dedicate to fundamental research in basic sciences.[2] Currently, there are three schools in the institute: mathematics, physics, and computational sciences. As of 2016, the institute has 3 distinguished professors, 26 professors, and 133 research fellows.[3]

As its name suggests, the institute was modeled after the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, USA. KIAS is funded by the government and is a subordinate institute of KAIST.[4]
