CT Institute dreams of becoming the capital of cultural contents.

 

Much attention has been focused on the CT Institute, which is an ambitious project initiated by Gwangju City and Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology(GIST·President Kim Young-joon) under the slogan of `the capital city of culture=Gwangju`

As a part of a project to make Gwangju into the Asia’s cultural hub city, the CT Institute will takethe mission of commercializing cultural contents(such as game, video, performance, exhibition, and etc.) with information technology. When the revised Framework Act on the Promotion of Cultural Industries with the main theme of providing ground for establishing CT Institute has passed the plenary session of the National Assembly last year, 1 billion won budget has been secured. The revised law has designated GIST as the main organization for governing cultural contents technology.
