The government has begun to draw a “science and technology blueprint” in 2045, which marks the a centesimal anniversary of Korea’s liberation.

The Ministry of Science and ICT held the first basic committee on the 4th, which additionally held the inauguration ceremony of the “2045 Science and Technology Frontier Strategy Committee.” Deputy Prime Minister of Science and ICT Bae Kyounghun and KAIST President Lee Kwang-hyung will co-chair the committee, and eight subcommittees, together with future design, super-intelligence, hyper-connection, and life and medical care, will set up methods for every discipline.

Six government-funded analysis institutes, together with Kwon Seok-yoon, head of the Korea Institute of Biotechnology, Park Se-woong, head of the Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, Ahn Joon-mo, a professor of public administration at Korea University, and Cha Doo-won, head of FutureHyperlink, headed the subcommittee.

Nine consultants from varied fields and ages, together with Hong Sung-wook, a science professor at Seoul National University, Lim Woo-hyung, president of LG AI Research Institute, Hwang Hee, CEO of Kakao Healthcare, and Bae Myung-hoon, a science fiction author, will take part as advisors.

They will set up the “2045 Science and Technology Frontier Strategy” by the finish of this yr. It presents the science and technology challenges and R&D instructions needed for Korea to leap ahead as certainly one of the world’s high three powerhouses in science and technology and grow to be a world chief.

To this finish, we first plan to analyze the present tendencies and derive the future picture of Korea in 2045.

The government has initially created future methods each 10 years. The Kim Dae Jung government in 1999, the Lee Myung Bak government in 2010, and the Moon Jae In government in 2020 have additionally put ahead future methods after 2040, respectively.

There had been additionally voices calling for consideration to expertise in addition to the objective of science and technology itself. KBS PD (adviser) Jung Yong-jae, who produced the documentary “Talent War,” mentioned, “It is talent that develops science. We need a social consensus on where and how to let talent flow.”

Deputy Prime Minister Bae mentioned, “In 2045, we need to solidify our technological sovereignty and establish ourselves as a science and technology powerhouse. We will do our best to prepare for the next 20 years of science and technology in Korea.”
