POSTECH kept its position as a natural science and engineering university firmly by being recording first in engineering section and second in natural science section in the Joongang Daily Academy Assessment. POSTECH attracted attention as both natural science and engineering recorded first on ‘professor research’. Specifically, both sections recieved top on ‘technology transfer royalty’, ‘payment of educational expense per tuition’ and ‘discontinuing rate’. POSTECH earned 5.1 billion won KRW as a technology transfer royalty in only a single year (2016), specifically, most of it came from ‘Genexine’, which was found by Professor Sung Young-chul (IBB). POSTECH also explained that it does not get paid technology transfer royalties as a lump sum payment, but receives a regular percentage of total sales periodically after transferring from the companies that have contracts with POSTECH. On the other hand, POSTECH took first place in the rate of superlative medical science thesis, which is 24.4%, even though it does not have a medical department. Including Professor Cho Dong-woo’s (ME) ‘Bio Ink’ research, 935 medical papers were announced. Among them, 228 dissertations were selected for highest 10% ranked theses.
