Part of the July 29, 2026 daily edition
한국과학기술연구원(KIST)이 7월 23일 서울 성북구 본원에서 ‘AI 데이터센터 열관리 협의회’ 창립식과 기념 심포지엄을 열었습니다. 삼성전자, SK하이닉스, LG전자 같은 회사와 서울대, 성균관대, 연세대, 한국전자통신연구원(ETRI) 등 45개가 넘는 기관이 참여했습니다. 이 협의회는 열관리 기술의 표준을 만들고 기술 로드맵을 세우며, 시험 기준과 신뢰성 기준도 정할 것입니다. 여러 기관이 함께하는 실증 프로젝트도 할 계획입니다. KIST 장준연 부원장은 AI 반도체 성능이 빠르게 좋아지면서 열관리 기술이 더 중요해지고 있다고 말했습니다. 서울대 주영창 교수는 이 분야가 반도체, 소재, 기계, 에너지가 만나는 융합 분야라고 설명했습니다.
