2009年以来，首尔国立大学与韩国政府、江原道和平昌郡合作，建立了一个大型绿色生物技术研究综合体——格林生物科学技术研究所，以通过扩大绿色生物研究和教育能力，为产学合作、国际合作和振兴当地经济做出贡献为目的。GBST凭借首尔国立大学绿色生物科学领域的研究能力，致力于努力成为东北亚具有代表性的绿色生物技术平台。
GBST将成为绿色生物科学和技术的中心，通过研发与实际使用和源技术相结合，促进产学合作和区域合作、现场教育和建立商业化集群。研究所尽量涵盖在生物科学各方面，包括环保畜牧、食品产业化、作物生物技术、设计动物与移植和绿色生态工程等，使用农业行业先进分析仪器开发、支持和培训专业技术，通过应对气候变化、开发生态友好型农业技术、开发节能农业技术等，实施未来农业。此外，研究所通过建立产学研所政府集群，构建产业-学院-产学合作综合体和产学运行的现场应用基础技术实现。研究所建立了生态友好型生活科学、食品产业化、作物生物技术、动物移植和绿色生态工程五个现场实验室，以增加绿色生物和相关领域的增长潜力并将其商业化。
Since 2009, Seoul National University, in cooperation with the Korean government, Gangwon Province and Pyeongchang-gun, has established a large-scale green biotechnology research complex, the Grimm Institute of Bioscience and Technology, with the aim of contributing to industry-academia cooperation, international cooperation, and revitalization of the local economy by expanding green biology research and education capabilities. GBST strives to become a representative green biotechnology platform in Northeast Asia based on Seoul National University's research capabilities in the field of green biological sciences.
GBST will be a hub for green bioscience and technology, promoting industry-academia and regional collaboration, on-site education and the establishment of commercialization clusters through R&D combined with practical use and source technologies. The Institute tries to cover all aspects of biological sciences, including environmental protection animal husbandry, food industrialization, crop biotechnology, animal design and transplantation, and green ecological engineering, etc., and develops, supports and trains professional technologies using advanced analytical instruments in the agricultural industry, and implements future agriculture by addressing climate change, developing eco-friendly agricultural technologies, and developing energy-saving agricultural technologies. In addition, the institute has established a government cluster of industry-university-research institutes, and has established an industry-college-industry-academia cooperation complex and field-applied basic technologies for industry-academia operation. The Institute has established five on-site laboratories for eco-friendly life science, food industrialization, crop biotechnology, animal transplantation and green ecological engineering to increase and commercialize the growth potential of green organisms and related fields.
