We are pleased to invite you to join us for the 2022 Seoul Science & Technology (S&T) Forum. The
event will be held on Monday, October 31, 2022 at the Plaza Hotel in Seoul, Korea under the theme of
“AI's Role in the Future Transformation of Science and Technology.” This year’s Forum is hosted by
the National Research Council of Science & Technology (NST), organized by the Korea Institute of
Science and Technology (KIST) and the Science and Technology Policy Institute (STEPI), and
sponsored by the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT).
Since its foundation in 2010, the Seoul S&T Forum has served as a platform for discussing the
inclusive and sustainable development of Science and Technology. For this year’s event, we will be
discussing future strategies for advancing scientific research in the post-COVID era and the leading
role AI plays in bringing about this paradigm shift.
The event will feature 2 plenary speeches, as well as 6 presentations and 2 panel discussions divided
across 2 Sessions. The themes for the plenary speeches will be “Current Approaches to Some Key AI
Challenges” and “Deep Learning AI: Challenges and Limitations.” Each Session will consist of 3
presentations and a panel discussion, with the theme for Session I being “Balancing Opportunities
and Challenges: In the Era of Artificial Intelligence,” and Session II dealing with the topic of “AI & the
New Sciences.”
The 2022 Forum is expected to be an invaluable opportunity for exchanging ideas and sharing
perspectives, and will be open to the public via livestream on the YouTube channel of NST, with
simultaneous Korean–English interpretation services also being provided.
We sincerely hope that you will be able to join us for this year’s Forum, as your insights and expertise
would contribute significantly to the event’s success.
We look forward to seeing you at the Forum!
