KISTI has introduced its EDISON Platform at 2019 EKC(Euro-Korea Conference on Science and Technology)held in Vienna on July 15th to 18th. At the R&D matchmaking session which was co-organized by NST(National Research Council of Science and Technology) and GRIs(Government Research Institutes), KIST Europe Office, KIGAM, KIMM and KISTI have participated and introduced their global R&D and cooperation research areas.  

EDISON(EDcuation and research integration through Simulation on the Open platform and Net) is an open R&D platform that allows to develop web-based simulation and data-driven intelligent research environment uniting research outcomes from 7 areas of computational science to utilized in education and research on cyber environment.

EDISON Platform is an unique web-based service platform in Korea being able to utilize various resources including supercomputer, which has been developed since 2011 with the support of Ministry of Science and Technology and ICT with the aim of providing students of science and engineering background with advanced simulation S/W  and utilization environment.

Since 2011, EDISON Platform has been loaded with more than 1,200 computational simulation software and contents in 7 areas developed by 50 universities in Korea and is used by more than 10,000 users.

Dr.Lee Jongsook, Director of Computational Science Platform Center said “ I would appreciate to have an opportunity to introduce EDISON Platform to Korean scientists and engineers in Europe and hope to make this opportunity to develop global cooperation with universities and research institutes in Europe.”
