Ku Hyeok-chae (구혁채), first vice minister on the Ministry of Science and ICT, on April 16 chaired a Chungcheong-area assembly in Daejeon on the fifth fundamental plan for fostering and supporting science and technology talent for 2026 to 2030. The assembly was held at Chungnam National University.
The fundamental plan is the highest statutory plan in the science and technology talent discipline established underneath the Special Act on Support for Science and Engineering to strengthen nationwide science and technology competitiveness. It will likely be finalised inside the first half of this yr.
The ministry is actively gathering views from the sphere to draw up a fundamental plan that the general public can really feel. As a part of that effort, it’s pushing forward with in-person regional conferences after a web based survey.
A variety of members primarily based in the Chungcheong area attended the assembly. They mentioned points felt in the sphere, together with burdens from administrative work, limits on pursuing difficult and long-term analysis, profession instability, a scarcity of analysis infrastructure and higher therapy.
Ku mentioned, “Today, fostering and securing science and technology talent is a key task that is directly linked to national competitiveness.” He added, “I will actively reflect these valuable views in the policy tasks of the basic plan.”
