During the past 10 years, DGIST has become exceptionally innovative and made remarkable advancements under the notion of becoming ‘a world-leading convergence research university’. DGIST has taken various steps such as: establishing innovative undergraduate curriculum and six graduate curricula focused on convergence specialized fields, constructing its campus with cutting-edge facilities on the massive secured area of 670,000m2 under the Campus Master Plan, and achieving remarkable research results. DGIST has been able to make vast advancements despite numerous challenges along the way in the 10 years since its founding. This progress has been made possible thanks to the exclusive support of the government, the sincerest trust of our chairman and committee members of the DGIST Board of Trustee, and the efforts and devotion of our faculty, students, researchers, and staff. DGIST started with a research institution in 2004 and grew into a research-oriented university by opening graduate program in 2011, and the undergraduate program in March, 2014.

在过去十年里，DGIST 在成为“世界领先的融合研究型大学”的理念下，取得了极大的创新和显著进步。DGIST 采取了多项措施，包括：建立创新的本科课程和六个专注于融合专业领域的研究生课程，在校园总体规划下建设配备先进设施的 67 万平方米大面积校园，并取得了卓越的科研成果。尽管面临诸多挑战，DGIST 在成立的十年间取得了巨大进展。这一进展得益于政府的独自支持、DGIST 董事会主席及委员会成员的真诚信任，以及我们教职员工、学生、研究人员和员工的努力与奉献。DGIST 于 2004 年以研究型机构起步，2011 年开设研究生项目，2014 年 3 月开设本科项目，发展为研究型大学。DGIST focuses its research and education in six areas, such as Emerging Materials Science, Information & Communication Engineering, Robotics Engineering, Energy Systems Engineering, Brain Science, and New Biology. The six areas are called ‘MIREBraiN’: M for Materials, I for Information & Communication, R for Robotics, E for Energy, B for Brain, and N for New Biology. The pronunciation of MIRE in Korean is the same to that of ‘future.’ DGIST’s vision, which was declared in May 2012, is to become a world-leading convergence research university by nurturing the global leaders of knowledge creation and creating future convergence technology.

DGIST 的研究和教育重点放在六个领域，如新兴材料科学、信息与通信工程、机器人工程、能源系统工程、脑科学和新生物学。这六个领域被称为“MIREBraiN”：M 代表材料，I 代表信息与通信，R 代表机器人，E 代表能量，B 代表大脑，N 代表新生物学。韩语中 MIRE 的发音与“future”(未来)是相同的。DGIST 于 2012 年 5 月宣布的愿景是通过培养全球知识创造领导者和创造未来融合技术，成为世界领先的融合研究型大学。
