Krafton Co., Ltd. announced that the KAIST Computer Science Department extension building, 'KRAFTON SoC (School of Computing),' was completed with donations made through voluntary donations from members and the Krafton Matching Grant Program in which the company participates.
The completion ceremony held on May 20 was attended by about 100 people, including donors including Krafton Board of Directors Chairman Jang Byung-kyu, KAIST President Lee Kwang-hyung, and KAIST Department of Computer Science Dean Ryu Seok-young.
In 2021, current and former members of Krafton from KAIST gathered together to donate to KAIST and raised a total of 5.5 billion won. Krafton added the same amount, raising a total fund of 11 billion won. Following this donation, Krafton plans to continue its support by pledging additional donations for the maintenance of the building for the next 10 years.
'KRAFTON SoC' is designed as a space of connection where knowledge and people, people and technology are naturally connected. It is designed so that students and faculty can stay, interact, share new ideas, and enjoy a balance between research and rest. This space was designed with a philosophy in mind from the beginning so that future talents can unfold their potential and grow.
KAIST President Lee Kwang-hyung said, “KRAFTON SoC is a symbolic space of the community created by the participation of KRAFTON members, as well as KAIST alumni, students, and faculty members.” He added, “This is a meaningful example of the values of sharing and connection being realized in a real space, and I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the donors.”
Jang Byung-kyu, Chairman of Krafton’s Board of Directors, said, “It is very meaningful to be able to work together with colleagues who share the same values of nurturing talent and to complete this space under the name of Krafton.” He added, “I hope that this space, which began with the desire to pass on learning and opportunities to the next generation, will become an environment that contributes to the attitude toward life that talents who will prepare for and lead the era of artificial intelligence should have.”
