The IT Institute of the High-Tech Research & Development Centre of Kim Il Sung University is renowned as a development-oriented and innovative information technology enterprise which integrated scientific research and production.

The IT Institute has been selected as one of the top ten IT enterprises for several years, including last year, in the course of designing, developing, producing and introducing more than 10 information systems in different fields that are of national importance and conducive to the development of the national economy. What is noteworthy is that it is channelling great efforts to training talents.

In fact, not only those who are versed in information technology enter the institute.

In recent years, many people specializing in different subjects in different faculties, other than IT, have joined the institute.

Under such circumstances, the institute established a principle of training those who had studied different subjects in the faculties of natural science, especially young postgraduate students, to be talents possessed of cutting-edge technologies.

When graduates and postgraduates come from different faculties, they are examined in various methods so as to grasp their knowledge and abilities, including potential ones, and assigned to suitable positions.

The institute has developed more than 10 subjects such as “machine learning” and “program analysis” and gives lectures for the newcomers on a regular basis.

The lectures given by competent and productive members of the staff prove highly effective in practice.

This kind of course is important not only for the graduates who majored in different subjects at university to acquire an understanding of the ultra-modern IT field in a short time, but also for all members of the staff to improve their abilities constantly.

As a result, the close collaboration between experts in various fields and IT workers has helped speed up the development and had a positive effect on ensuring quality.

Another noteworthy point in the management of the institute is the accurate and quantitative assessment and analysis of each member’s performance through the general software production management system.

With the introduction of the general management system which was selected as one of the top 10 IT products, all employees competitively exert themselves as they exactly know their daily results and the quality of their work.

This year, the institute developed an emergency medical service command system Kugup 1.0 which is of great help to the people’s life. The system enables patients in emergency to call relevant emergency commands at home or in any other place and receive support of an ambulance and necessary emergency first aid.
