The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors affecting cooperation between industry and public research institutes, in addition to the effects of cooperation between them; on technological and economic performance of firms. Based on existing research relating to the factors affecting industry-university-research institutes cooperation and the relationship between them and firm performance, this study selected the competence of government-funded research institutes, R&D capabilities and organizational characteristics of firms, and support of government and local governments; as factors influencing cooperation between industry and public research institutes. This study sets seven hypotheses on the relationship between the factors promoting industry-public research institute cooperation, technological performance and economic performance. A questionnaire survey was used to collect data for hypothesis testing and 116 questionnaires were completed and used in this research. The PLS-MGA was used as a method for hypothesis testing. In the analysis results, we found that the competence of government-funded research institutes, organizational characteristics of firms, and the support of government and local governments have a positive impact on cooperation between industry and public research institutes. We also found that the collaboration between industry and public research institutes, positively affects firms' technological performance. In addition, we found that the technological performance of a firm, positively affects a firms' economic performance. On the other hand, firms' R&D capabilities have no significant effect on cooperation between industry and public research institutes, and industry-public research institute cooperation does not directly affect the economic performance of firms.

As a means to address the modes of developing institutional evaluation system aimed at improving performances of GRIs, this study looked into the influential relations where institutional evaluation system has an impact on receptivity of evaluation outcomes and performances of institutes optimize their performances. After making analysis, it was confirmed that the National Research Council for Economics, Humanities and Social Sciences' institutional evaluation system for GRIs had a positive (+) influence on performances of research institutes, and receptivity of evaluation outcomes is related to performances of research institutes. In addition, it was also confirmed that institutes with high performances, in general, have high level of receptivity of evaluation outcomes along with positive recognition of institutional evaluation system. However, weaknesses of the Council's institutional evaluation system for GRIs resulted in low level of receptivity amongst GRIs, and thus there is limitation on the government and the Council in the active utilization of evaluation outcomes. Finally, it addressed the limitations and areas for improvement in relation to research outcomes.

우리나라는 과거부터 현재까지 미래 성장동력 육성을 목표로 정부주도하에 국가 R&D 투자를 점진적으로 늘려왔다. 그 결과, 최근에는 GDP 대비 연구개발비 비중이 세계 최고 수준에 이르렀다. 이렇게 연구개발 예산의 양적인 확대와 함께 연구개발 예산의 효율적 활용은 더욱 중요한 과학기술 분야의 정책적 이슈로 부각되고 있다. 연구개발 예산의 효율적인 집행을 위해서는 R&D 사업의 유사 중복성의 검토가 필수적이지만, 대부분의 유사 중복성 검토는 전문가의 직관적인 판단에 근거하여 이루어져왔다. 하지만, 전문가의 직관에만 의지한 판단은 때로는 불명확하거나 잘못된 결과를 가져올 수도 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 네트워크 분석을 통해 정부 R&D 사업의 유사 중복성을 체계적으로 검토하기 위한 데이터기반의 방법론을 제안하여 전문가의 직관에 의한 유사 중복성 검토를 보완할 수 있는 가능성을 모색하고자 한다. 먼저, 본 연구에서는 정부 R&D사업 유사영역의 전체적인 구조 및 형태와 국가과학기술연구회 소속 25개 정부출연연구기관 R&D사업의 유사영역의 전반적인 형태를 시각화하여 유사영역을 파악하고 직관적인 판단과 선택을 할 수 있는 의사결정 정보를 제공하는데 초점을 두었다. 이를 위해, NTIS의 2015년 데이터를 사용하여 과제 키워드 기반으로 동시단어출현 분석을 수행하였다. 본 분석을 통해 25개 기관의 세부적인 유사연구영역 형태를 제시하였으며, 국내의 과학기술정책적 또는 과학기술학적인 현상들을 시각화하였다. 그 결과, 국내 출연연 R&D사업이 기관별 고유영역이 확고히 보이는 Mode 1적인 형태와 사회경제적인 맥락과 필요 및 유망성을 따르고, 다학제적, 적용중심적이며 과제별로 다양한 과제수행기관들이 과제들을 동시에 수행하는 Mode 2적인 형태가 출연연의 R&D사업 내에 공존하고 있음을 확인하였다.

지난 96년 PBS제도가 시행되면서, 많은 연구에서 PBS제도의 문제점을 제시해 왔다. 선행 연구에서는 인건비 확보를 위한 과도한 경쟁으로 연구활동의 안정성 저하 및 불안감 조성, 기관 내 외 연구자간의 경쟁구도 심화로 상호협력을 통한 융합연구의 어려움, 관리 운영체계의 제약요인으로 인한 제도 확산은 정부출연연구기관의 성과를 저하시킨다고 지적하였다. 하지만 PBS제도 도입당시의 기대효과였던 기관의 자율성 강화, 연구책임자 책임성 강화, 사업관리의 투명성 강화는 정부출연연구기관의 성과를 높이는 효과를 가져올 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PBS제도 도입 후 15년이 경과한 현재 PBS제도가 출연연구기관의 연구과제 수행 성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 실증분석을 하였다. 기초기술연구회 소속 13개 기관을 대상으로 질적 논문성과를 분석해본 결과, 기관이 수행한 과제의 PBS제도는 논문성과에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 수행 과제의 기술적 특성을 기술분야별, 기술단계별로 나눠보았을 경우, 기술단계별 구분에서 기초기술연구회 소속 정부출연연구기관의 논문성과는 기초기술 단계의 과제를 수행하였을 경우 높은 질적 논문성과를 보여주는 것으로 나타났다.

연구개발은 일반적으로 많은 투자가 요구되는 반면에 높은 불확실성이 존재한다. 따라서 정부에서 지원받는 제한된 인력과 예산을 기반으로 연구를 수행하는 출연연 입장에서는 연구개발의 효율성을 객관적으로 측정하고, 연구개발 활동에 투입되는 자원과 산출에 대한 체계적인 평가가 중요하다. 즉, 기관에서 운영하는 R&D 예산의 합리적인 배분을 위해서 연구개발 성과의 효율성을 측정하고 이를 다시 전략적으로 R&D 기획에 반영하는 피드백 과정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 건설분야 정부출연연구기관의 연구부서를 대상으로 연구성과 분석을 통한 효율성을 측정하고자 한다. 이를 통해 제한된 인력과 R&D 연구비용의 합리적인 투자를 위한 전략적 우선순위 선정, 기관의 중장기 발전계획, 경영목표 등에 부합하는 연구과제를 수행하기 위한 정책 및 R&D 기획의 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.

The scientific culture programs of 13 Government-supported Research Institutes in the field of Science and Technology (GRIST) in Daedeok Innopolis are studied and classified according to the activities and operational types of programs conducted by GRIST over the past three years (2017~19). The total 150 scientific and cultural programs of GRIST were operational with annual average of 11.5 programs per institution. Science festival and field trip, as a scientific culture activity, account for 72%. By means of operational entity, the programs were identified as 68(45.3%) for PPOI(Programs Planned and Operated by Institute) and 82(54.7%) for PCPI(Programs Contributed and Participated by Institute). Also the 87.2% of all participants were elementary, middle, high school, and college students and the program for adult participants was none. From this study, we suggest that open lab type of science festival programs, which organized and operated by each GRIST, to inform ongoing and advanced research for public understand of research (PUR) and science concerts for targeting adult audiences.

Declining research competitiveness and inefficiency are constantly being raised in the National Assembly and the media for the Government-funded Research Institutes(GFRIs), which are highly dependent on government funding. These external stakeholders point to the workforce aging of the GFRIs as one of the main causes of inefficiency. They insist that the aging leads to an increase in labor costs, a discontinuity in research, a decrease in employment of new researchers, and a decrease in research competitiveness. However, the GFRIs argue that the aging is a natural phenomenon due to an increase in the age of recruitment, and even if there is an side effect, it is extremely small or even vice versa. It is interesting that there is no empirical study identifying the correlation between the workforce aging and the research performance of the GFRIs, despite the discussion. This study tracked and analyzed the changes of the research performance and the workforce for the five years from 2011 to 2015, and tried to demonstrate the correlation between the workforce aging and the research performance. As a result, we confirmed that there is an inverted U-type correlation between the aging and the papers, one of the research performance, and that the optimal age is 44.96 years. Also, we could not find any correlation between the aging and the patents.

The establishment of function and role in government-funded research institute becomes a vital issue as fierce international technology-competition and enhanced industrial convergence makes science and technology important and influential more and in socio-economic level. This paper defines independent and dependent variables to identify factors which influence on research performance. As the independent variables, research funds, research personnel and research support staff are chosen. Dependent variables which are selected as proxy variables of research performance are royalties, papers and patents. Values from regression analysis were drawn by time-series analysis and cross-section analysis. As a result, the significance of correlation coefficients is sequential, research personnel, research support staff and research funds respectively. This finding is expected to give implication of future direction on government-funded research institute development.
