Established in 1989, the Advanced Industrial Strategy Program (AIP), led by Professor Chulhui An, aims to address the challenges posed by the fourth industrial revolution. It leverages the advanced scientific and technological knowledge and research capabilities of SNU’s College of Engineering faculty to explore key issues faced by the knowledge-information society and industry.

AIP is a premier program in science and engineering, focusing on new growth areas such as AI, Big Data, Robotics, Autonomous Driving, Bioengineering, and the Internet of Things (IoT). It offers in-depth lectures on major topics, enabling participants to gain a comprehensive understanding of these fields.

Over the past 30 years, AIP has produced more than 3,500 alumni. According to a survey conducted by the Korea Economic Daily, it has been ranked the top advanced program in science and engineering for nine consecutive years by domestic corporate CEOs.
