정부 R&D성과의 질적 수준을 제고하고 중장기 국가 재정사업의 효율성을 높이기 위한 각 연구 기관의 시도들이 있어 왔다. 연구사업의 발굴, 기획 및 수행에 있어 효과적인 정부 R&D 예산의 배분, 우선순위를 도출, 기술개발 전략 수립을 하는 것이 매우 중요해지고 있다. 정부 재정사업인 국가 R&D사업은 국가 기간산업을 활성화하고 경제발전을 수반할 수 있는 중요한 모멘텀으로서의 역할을 하고 있다. 또한, 국가 R&D사업의 한 축인 거대과학은 최첨단 기술의 개발과 미래성장동력의 발굴이라는 대명제로 그 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 거대과학 연구는 그 분야의 특수성으로 인해 대학의 과학자, 공공 연구기관의 연구원, 기업의 엔지니어가 함께 참여하여야 하고 대규모 국가 예산을 동원하는 과학 연구 사업이다. 이는 대규모 예산을 기반으로 하고 있기에 집중적 투자가 수반된다면 단기적으로 기초과학의 발전을 이뤄낼 수 있다. 이것은 산업발전에 밑거름이 되어 그 분야 자체로 하나의 산업생태계를 구성하고 요소 기술들의 응용으로 파생기술이 전파된다면 새로운 신산업 창출 등 국가산업에 많은 혜택을 줄 수 있다. 하지만 많은 인력과 대규모 투자 그리고 중장기 프로젝트라는 특성으로 인해 실패 가능성도 높아 전략적 선택 및 추진이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 거대과학의 기술개발전략의 수립을 위하여 중이온 입자가속기 핵심부품 국산화 전략수립 사례를 중심으로 효율적인 R&D추진 방안을 도출해보고자 한다. 또한, 논문, 특허를 기반으로 한 3P분석을 통하여 중이온 가속기 핵심부품의 국산화 전략을 제안하고, 추진 우선순위 및 전략을 제시하고자 한다.

In order to utilize HPC in Computational science, It is necessary to learn the knowledge and skills of computer science such as programming, algorithms and data structure. In this paper, we investigate IT education status in Computational science and propose policy directions to improve the HPC education through user survey. To do this, we surveyed the current state of IT subjects among major subjects in physics, chemistry, life sciences, and earth science in domestic universities and surveyed the users' Recognition of HPC education. As a result, the ratio of IT subjects in Computational science was very lower than the ratio of major domain subjects. Despite the high educational needs of universities, the educational level of universities was the lowest. Most users have learned the necessary knowledge and skills through self-study. We recognized the role of the university is the most urgent and important, and the role of professional institutions and online education is also important.

This research examines the characteristics of the newly emerging 'transformative innovation policy' and discusses the current status and issues of the Korean social problem solving R & D policy. Transformative innovation policy is a new paradigm that aims to transform socio-technical systems to address societal challenges. In this study, we analyzed 'the policy plan for solving social problems based on science and technology'. In the "Policy Plan", efforts are being made to establish new direction of science and technological innovation activities such as emphasis on social values, network formation of innovation actors, and spreading of social impact. But in this "Policy Plan", the perspective of transformative innovation policy is weakly reflected. The Policy Plan refers to system improvement that adds new elements to existing system, but it is not discussing system transformation. In order to develop social problem solving R & D policy from the viewpoint of the transformative innovation policy, it is necessary to construct the innovation platform deliberating vision and prospect for the socio-technical transformation.

We report an easy, efficient method for separating monazite grains using a sequence of gold pan, tap water, disposable sieve, magnet (0.35 T), and heavy liquid. The grain size after powdering (<230 ㎛) and the separation process using a water-filled pan (tilted at 10°) and a water supply (0.1 L/sec) followed the method described in Cheong et al. (2013). Ferro-magnetic minerals were most effectively removed using a magnet with a strength of 0.35 T (Tesla), but were not para-magnetic minerals such as monazite and xenotime. The remaining light particles from the previous process were finally separated using a heavy liquid, diiodomethane (CH₂I₂; G=3.32). Our method has the advantage of effectively separating not only monazite, but also xenotime and titanite.

Group creativity has recently been heightened as a core competence in the 21st century. Therefore, there is a need for introduction of concepts on design thinking emphasizing the collaboration and empathy to science education as an effective method for fostering group creativity. Understanding design thinking for effective introduction should be preceded, so we explore the characterizations of design thinking through the generic model overlay method, focus group interview, and critical incident technique analysis. The results reveal 4 cluster units of competency and 15 core competencies. The collaboration cluster consists of 5 competencies and they are as follows: organization of the team, communication, self-control, persuasiveness, and initiative competency. The integrative thinking cluster consists of 3 competencies and they are as follows: analytical, strategic, and intuitive thinking competency. The human-centeredness cluster consists of 3 competencies and they are as follows: user-orientation, relationship building, and interpersonal understanding competency. The multidisciplinary cluster consists of 4 competencies and they are as follows: achievement orientation, information seeking, curiosity, and flexibility competency. Findings are expected to provide the basic data for developing programs and establishing strategies in order to foster group creativity as well as introducing design thinking to science education effectively.

A plant factory is a facility that creates an artificial environment in a controlled space and produces plants systematically through automated facilities. However, automation in the cultivation process is insufficient compared to the internal environment control technology in plant factories. This causes the problem of an increase in operating costs due to the input of a large number of workers. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate economic feasibility by comparing before and after introducing automation in the cultivation process of plant factories. The target plant factory to be analyzed was selected, and the break-even point analysis method was used by comparing the cost required compared to the operating period. As a result, the break-even point was analyzed to be 3.4 years when automation was introduced into six processes for plant cultivation. Therefore, it can be judged that the introduction of automation is excellent in terms of economic feasibility when the target plant factory has been operated for more than 3.4 years. This study is expected to be used as basic data to analyze the economic feasibility of introducing automation in domestic and foreign plant factories.

The realization of carbon neutrality requires cooperation from various stakeholders and the utilization of a governance system. The criteria for participating members are crucial for the successful operation of governance, and it is especially necessary for experts who can provide scientific advice for policy implementation to share a framework for successful consensus. In this study, governance model theory and model structure, governance common success factors by case, and the application of governance cases in the climate and environmental sector of Seoul, were investigated and analyzed to derive common success factors in order to present the activity standards of the science and technology experts participating in governance. The study of the model theory suggested that the model structure is commonly composed of a basic condition-process-result structure, and it was confirmed that common success factors can be derived at the process stage which is the activity period of members. Through the case study of common success factors, overlapping factors were found to be reliability, accountability, transparency, networks, and related factors. The validity of the common success factors was verified using the analysis results of satisfaction survey data from Seoul Governance Committee participants. The results confirmed that reliability was the most valuable factor followed by networks, transparency, and responsibility, and it was found that the related factors were appropriately derived. The findings of this study are expected to be used as an activity factor for science and technology experts to increase the acceptability and effectiveness of carbon-neutral policies in the future.

The purpose of the study is to find creativity factors of students in the process of small group modeling and relate them to the types of interactions among students. In order to capture students' detailed interactions, this study was conducted as an 'essential case study' through qualitative analysis. We have developed the modules of nine lessons about terraforming, and they were used in an actual classroom. In order to understand the creativity of the students in the process of modeling, students' discourses and interview data were analyzed using 19 creative factors or abilities. The findings are as follows. Frequently found creativity factors are Elaboration, Evaluation, Visualization, Resist premature closer, Originality, Analysis and Concentration. And students' interactions that affect students' creativity in the process of modeling can be classified into four categories: Suggestion, Agreement, Questioning, Refutation, and Conversion. Through each interaction, students demonstrated the process of expressing and modifying their own thoughts and ideas in the modeling process. The findings of the study suggest that it is important to the teachers to understand types of interactions among students and the relationship between the types of interaction and creativity factors for students' creative modeling in modeling-based learning.

Biodiversity informatics applies information technology methods in organizing, accessing, visualizing, and analyzing primary biodiversity data and quantitative data management through the scientific names of accepted names and synonyms. We reviewed the GBIF data published by China, Japan, Taiwan, and internal institutes, such as NIBR, NIE, and KNA of the Republic of Korea, and assessed data in diverse aspects of data quality using BRAHMS software. Most data from four Asian countries have quality problems with the lack of data consistency and missing information on georeferenced data, collectors, collection date, and place names (gazetteers) or other invalid data forms. The major problem is that biodiversity management institutions in East Asia are using unstructured databases and simple spreadsheet-type data. Owing to the nature of the biodiversity information, if data relationships are not structured, it would be impossible to secure the data integrity of scientific names, human names, geographical names, literature, and ecological information. For data quality, it is essential to build data integrity for database management and training systems for taxonomists who are continuous data managers to correct errors. Thus, publishers in East Asia play an essential role not only in using specialized software to manage biodiversity data but also in developing structured databases and ensuring their integration and value within biodiversity publishing platforms.
