The circle, the external structure of the emblem, symbolizes the universe; the internal atomic structure represents science and technology, while the torch in the midst of the initial P of Pohang represents the will for seeking the truth.
This emblem is a representation of POSTECH’s strong will to contribute to the development of humanity through the education and research of science and technology.
In the way of putting the English official name, the Korean official name and the year of POSTECH’s foundation in the atomic structure of the existing symbol, the design was intended to clearly represent the history and the founding philosophy of POSTECH.
