Gamak Pond
UNIST Central Research Facilities(UCRF)
Long before UNIST Campus came about in this area,
a village called 'Gamakmotan' was here, with its name
derived from Gamak Pond which means ‘a pond with black
soil.’ With its surface area of 22,888㎡, Gamak Pond is
undoubtedly the center and the most remarkable landmark
on the campus that can be seen from any building on
campus. The view of the five fountains beautifully spouting
its energy into the sky is enough to catch the attention of
the by passers.
UNIST Central Research Facilities (UCRF) was
established in 2009 for the purpose of enhancing the
research abilities of UNIST through the sharing of
expensive equipment, the promotion of interdisciplinary
studies, and the establishment of a network of
professionals specialized in analysis and instrumentation.
The Garden of Nobel
The UCRF possesses facilities fundamental to academic
research including an analysis lab, clean room, machine
shop, enviromental analysis lab, UNIST - Olympus Biomed
Imaging Center(UOBC), In Vivo Research Center(IVRC)
and UNIST Radiation Safety Lab.
˙ Dr. Richard Timothy Hunt(2011), Dr. Konstantin
Novoselov(2011),
˙ Dr. John Bertrand Gurdon(2012), Dr. Ada E. Yonath
(2014)
UCRF organizes the Review Committee of Equipment
Acquisition for effective equipment introduction and
utilization, and supports purchasing equipment approved
by the Review committee of Equipment Acquisition.
In the Garden of the Nobel, along Gamak Pond, there
are Monumental Planted Trees. The place which is for
commemorates Nobel prize winner's visits while providing
nice scenery and strong inspiration for the students and a
scenic resting place for anyone in the community. We are
eagerly looking forward to the day of our very UNISTARs
planting their monumental trees in the Garden of Nobel in
the future.
UNIST Supercomputing Center(USC)
The Nine Bridges
In its strive to build and eco-friendly campus, UNIST has
the natural waterways and has arranged main buildings
in a fan shape centering around Gamak Pond. 9 bridges
were built on a campus to preserve the small streams
flowing in out of the pond, called ‘The Nine Bridges.’ Each
bridge is yet left unnamed to be called after the future
Nobel prize winners arising from UNIST. It is our hope
that current UNISTARs who are working hard towards
their dreams as they cross ‘The Nine Bridges’ will come to
realize their dreams in the near future.
Library
The UNIST Library is a landmark site in UNIST which is
located in the center of the campus. The library is also the
best view in campus because of a great view of Gamak
pond.

2. UNIST History
History and Mission of UNIST
Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology nestles in Ulsan Metropolitan City, an industrial powerhouse of
South Korea and a home to the world's largest shipyard and automobile assembly, and the world's second largest
oil refinery. As an industrial heart of South Korea, there had always been a craving for talented engineers and
scientists who can achieve new growth through technology innovation and research.
With this backdrop, UNIST was founded and opened its door to 499 students in 2009. UNIST's mission is to
advance knowledge and educate students in the field of science and engineering to serve the nation and benefit the
humankind.
The incumbent president Mooje Cho, now serving his second term, envisioned a global leading research university
when he was sworn in as the very first president of UNIST. In order to make this dream come true, UNIST has
adopted many audacious approaches in education and research. 'Flipped learning' teaching method, English-only
lectures policy and mandatory double major system are some of the good examples of such efforts.
Thanks to its member's hard work and the innovative system, UNIST has produced substantial outcomes despite its
short history. In June of 2014, UNIST ranked 4th in NPI(Nature Publishing Index), a yardstick of research capability
among Korean institutes. Also, a technology transfer agreement for the second lithium-ion battery technology
developed by an UNIST professor was signed by a local company for 6 million US dollars, ranking one of the top
technology transfer deals that have been signed in Korea. UNIST has also successfully invited Institute for Basic
Science(IBS) to establish three research centers at UNIST, each of which will be funded with 10 million US dollars
per year for the maximum of 10 years by the government in an attempt to nurture future Nobel Prize laureate.
During the past five years, UNIST has attracted world-class faculty and top-caliber students from Korea and
overseas, and has built the state-of-the-art research facility. UNIST will not rest on its laurels, but will continue
to make a good use of these resources in order to carry out the institute's mission and become a global leading
research university.

11. UNIST Campus
O
ur ancestors, regarded the positioning of natural environment very important and, considered the mountain
in north and the river on the south as the optimal arrangement, believing in the symbol and the power of
soil and ground according to “Baesanimsoo.” UNIST stands on a basin surrounded by the mountains which
beautifully offers an open view to the east. Taehwa River, located on the east of the campus, allows a rich body
of water such as Gamak and Banyeon streams to flow across the campus and form Gamak Pond. Centering the
pond, both the east and the west are covered with the valleys which stand to surround the basin. While establishing
a symbol of science and technology, UNIST campus strives to treasure the harmony with the nature by forming an
eco-friendly campus rather than developing an artificial environment.
