신정부의 과학기술정책과 공법적 과제

Abstract

The new government’s science and technology-related national tasks are: First, to enhance R&D quality growth through redesign of the science and technology system, second, to become a G5 nation by fostering super-gap strategic technology, and third, to create a research environment centered on autonomy and creativity and nurture human resources. Strengthening, fourth, enhancing vitality of science and technology innovation centered on the private sector, fifth, establishing a system of regional innovation in the era of local science and technology sovereignty, sixth, promoting scientific and technological innovation in response to public health, safety and climate change, seventh, through science and technology It is summarized in seven points, including strengthening the ability to respond to digital transformation. In relation to the development and innovation of local science and technology of the new government, it will be a meaningless policy for regions that currently do not have such a basis for scientific and technological development or ability to develop science and technology. If the government has a will for regional science and technology development and innovation, it is possible to establish and implement a regional science and technology development comprehensive plan. In addition, since the development and securing of strategic technology through public-private collaboration is highly likely to be centered in the metropolitan area, the possibility of developing and securing strategic technology in the region will decrease. At the legal level, it is desirable to establish a legal basis for the formation of the Science and Technology Innovation Committee. There is no committee based on the 「National R&D Innovation Act」. Therefore, it is appropriate to place the legal basis of the Science and Technology Innovation Committee in the 「National R&D Innovation Act」. To nurture scientific and technological manpower, it is necessary to enact the (tentative name) 「Science and Technology Manpower Support Act」. This Act aims to contribute to creating a foundation for scientific and technological development, innovating science and technology, and strengthening national competitiveness by supporting the smooth supply and demand of scientific and technological manpower for scientific and technological development institutes or research institutes, and stipulating matters necessary for nurturing excellent scientific and technological manpower. In order to secure excellent foreign manpower, it is considered an efficient way to attract highly skilled manpower in science and technology to Korea to allow science and technology technicians to obtain an E-3 visa even if their working period is less than 90 days as high-quality foreign manpower residing in Korea.
