Daejeon

Daedeok Innopolis

Daejeon is the site of Daedeok Innopolis, a cluster of national laboratories, government research institutes and university campuses that carries much of Korea’s public research. KAIST sits inside it.

KSTAR and the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy are about fifteen minutes from the venue.
Seoul is one hour away by KTX, which keeps a day trip in either direction practical.
