The First Step of Convergence Research
GSCST was first conceived in 2008, from the collective motivation to create a new type of knowledge that surpasses existing barriers among different academic areas. A year later in 2009, GSCST admitted students in three convergence studies programs (Nano Science and Technology, Digital Contents and Information Studies, and Intelligent Systems) and a program in Molecular Medicine and Biopharmaceutical Science. Dr. Choi pioneered a new course in convergence education and research as the first dean of the school.
