The Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) has completely revamped its official website to mark its 50th anniversary and has embarked on a digital communication revolution.

KERI, a government-funded research institute affiliated with the National Research Council of Science and Technology under the Ministry of Science and ICT, announced on the 12th that through this reorganization, it has established a user-centered web environment so that anyone can access research results and administrative services more easily and conveniently.

The KERI website is the agency's representative digital window, visited by approximately 200,000 people annually.

The institute pursued this reorganization to effectively communicate the research achievements and future vision accumulated over the past 50 years and to increase accessibility to a diverse user base.

The core of this reorganization is an AI-based visual customization accessibility solution that is being applied for the first time in a broadcasting station.

This technology uses AI to automatically compensate for the inconveniences experienced by information-vulnerable groups, such as the disabled and the elderly, when using the website, helping everyone access KERI's research information and administrative services without discrimination.

The application of AI accessibility technology to a research institute's website is a highly unusual case, and is being evaluated as strengthening the digital inclusion of public research institutes.

KERI applies responsive web design to provide optimized screens on various devices, providing the same user experience in any environment, including PC, mobile, and tablet.

also We've redesigned the integrated search function and quick menu to help users quickly find the information they want.

In particular, we have strengthened the ability to visually explain complex technical concepts by introducing interactive content that responds to mouse movements to make research results and technical information easier to understand.

A new digital business card service has also been added, allowing researchers to view their information at a glance.

This allows researchers to comprehensively check their papers, patents, and technology transfer performance, and the testing and certification process menu for corporate customers has also been intuitively reorganized.

During the technical consultation process, convenience for businesses has been greatly improved with the addition of a function that automatically completes complex technical names.

To commemorate its 50th anniversary, KERI has established a new digital archive, ‘KERITAGE (KERI+HERITAGE)’.

KERITAGE is a visual storytelling presentation of KERI's key research achievements, which have led the development of Korea's electrical industry, effectively showcasing the organization's history and identity.

KERI President Kim Nam-gyun said, “This website revamp is not a simple design change, but a digital innovation to share the achievements of the past 50 years more transparently and conveniently from the perspective of the public.” He added, “We will continue to actively reflect user opinions to create a research institute website that is loved by the public.”

To celebrate its website renewal, KERI is holding a public satisfaction survey event until Monday, January 26th.

You can participate through the research center's website announcement or official SNS, and a small prize will be given to 50 people who leave useful comments.
