From steel to academic excellence

Article Abstract:

The city of Pohang, South Korea has changed from a small fishing village in the 1960s to an industrial city with one of the nation's finest universities today. The city boomed when Korea decided to develop a steel industry just in time to reap huge rewards from the 1970s oil crisis. The Pohang Iron and Steel Co invested profits into forming the Pohang Institute of Science and Technology. The Institute's faculty now includes some of the brightest minds in the world, all dedicated to research that is, for the most part, developed specifically for Korean industry.
