연구개발목적기관 육성을 위한 현실적 검토와 정책적 제언: 포커스그룹인터뷰(FGI)를 중심으로 = A Study for Fostering Research and Development Purpose Institutions: Focusing on Focus Group Interviews (FGI)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Since 2019, the Korea government has reclassified government-funded research institutes and specific research institutions as distinct public entities, categorizing them separately for research and development purposes in recognition of the specialized nature of their work and the associated administrative requirements. However, the impact of this system on the actual research sites appears to be relatively modest. While it is understood that no single law or system can fully satisfy all stakeholders, research and development (R&D) institutions advocate for additional institutional support due to the relatively minor changes observed after the system's implementation. In light of this situation, this paper conducts focus group interviews with R&D professionals to assess both the positive and negative aspects of the system. Based on these findings, the paper proposes policy measures that underscore the need for new management governance rooted in scientific and technological expertise. However, it is essential to highlight that, beyond these discussions, there is a strong emphasis on the importance of self-evaluation and collaborative growth with the community to safeguard the autonomy of R&D institutions.
