Korea is presently the leading country in global desalination industry and has been investing a large amount of money and human resources in development of new core technologies to increase its' share of global market. In this paper, we reviewed world-wide trends of the advanced water industry and outlined various seawater desalination technologies developed so far. We also made some analysis on the directions and results of the government-lead R&D sponsorship in the field of seawater-freshening technology. Present studies showed that we need an institutional strategy to help domestic companies guarantee the credibility of the technologies developed by themselves based upon their experience of plant operation. Futhermore, strategic R&D programs to develope original technologies and localization of key components for desalination plants should be preceded in the near future.

Recently diversity of research field is emphasized all over the world. Nations with advanced programs in research field keep developing new R&D programs for interdisciplinary studies. These new research atmospheres need objective validity in evaluation process. Peer review is recognized as a best evaluation method for national research and development programs. However, peer review system has restrictive boundary because of its subjectivity of the reviewer. Scientometrics has been developed as an alternative system to peer review. But the effectiveness of quantitative indicators which also has qualitative aspect is rarely analyzed in real program evaluation. In this study, we suggest distribution of marks of peer review and newly developed quantitative review through analyzing deviations between two different reviews in real national R&D program evaluation. Moreover, we could have significant correlation between two review systems in the same case study.

To perform R&D program, it is necessary to invest input factor(I/F). And these factor are converted to output factors(O/F) at the end of R&D program. Pee. reviewers evaluate output factors and produce evaluation grades(E/G). This paper try to analyze the relationship to I/F, O/F and E/G, According to the analysis results, the relation between I/F and E/G is as weak as the relation between O/F and E/G. The strength of relationship is relatively very strong in the relation between I/F and O/F

This study aims to provide information about the priority setting and budget coordination of government R&D spendings in Korea. Based on the result of "Survey, Analysis and Evaluation of National R&D Programs"in FY 2000. this paper reviews the government R&D expenditures by the concerned variables such as program objectives, sector of performance, character of work and technology fields. It is found that R&D spendings on the areas of industrial development, information technology, and development research are funded pretty high. Also, it turns out that, considering program objectives and character of work, there are some redundancies of R&D programs among government agencies. Policy implications are suggested.

This study is to seek measures for streamlining the evaluation system by analyzing the examples of advanced countries. This study was conducted, based on the relevant government policy documents and previous research papers, in the manner of comparing and analyzing the issues and cases regarding the government evaluation system of public-funded R&D programs in selected countries. In Korea, a national R&D performance evaluation system was introduced by law in 2006. In United States, Obama government has enhanced government performance management by signed into law the GPRA Modernezation Act of 2010. The Japanese Government issued a newly revised Guideline on National R&D Evaluation in late 2012. European Union has also been constantly updating its evaluation system for Framework Programmes(FPs) begun since 1984. This study gets some insights from the recent development of R&D evaluation in the other countries. It is important for the government R&D evaluation system to be in line with national S&T policy and agency's mission. In micro views, specific evaluation approaches and methods by types of various R&D programs should be more illustratively developed. Additionally it is suggested to monitor recent trends and techniques on R&D evaluation by participating in activities to communicate and share their knowledge and experiences in international evaluation research networks.

This study shows that it is reasonable for an R&D Information and Evaluation Center to have a building with the fifth floor above the ground and the second floor below the ground. A survey was conducted with 22,655 researchers who are registered in the NRF database. The researchers provided 883 responses. The results indicate that about 56% of the respondents positively support the construction of the NFR R&D Information and Evaluation Center. The survey results show that many respondents recognize that both evaluation and information integration functions among the NRF's roles are very important compared to other roles. The findings of the economic validity analysis support this statement. Based on the current demand for the construction of the R&D Information and Evaluation Center, this study investigates whether it is reasonable to build a new center in the available space while examining an environment focused on a physical work space and looking at significant results obtained through a cost-benefit analysis.

Market failure occurs when Pareto efficiency is not achieved through market mechanism. In order to solve this problem, government intervene market; paying great attention to the optimum state of resource allocation. However, as the size of government investment in R&D goes up, many professionals emphasize the importance in efficient management system. This work is the result of exploratory study to look into life-cycle management of governmental R&D program. Literature reviews and empirical research on governmental R&D programs elicit improvements for effective life-cycle management of governmental R&D program as follows: consistent discrimination between capital expenditure and recurring expenditure, dual management system by spending properties, implementing total cost management system in capital expenditure, and discrimination between preliminary feasibility study with confirming total program cost in recurring expenditure.

The LNG storage tank as core facility of LNG industry is mainly composed of the inner tank of nikel 9% steel and the outer tank of prestressed concrete. To respond proactively increased risk of structure performance deterioration due to fatigue of the inner tank and durability reduction of the outer tank, life evaluation program for LNG storage tank is needed. In this study, life evaluation program for LNG storage tank was developed to assess fatigue of the inner tank and durability(carbonation and chloride attack) of the outer tank. By defining the main three scenarios in the inner tank, the fatigue life analysis is conducted from structural analysis and Miner's damage rule. Carbonation progress of the outer tank is predicted according to thickness of cover concrete by using carbon dioxide contents and data of penetration depth. To consider a variety of input conditions and a reliability in results of chloride attack, the evaluation of choride attack for the outer tank is constructed through Life-365 program of open source.

Social-impact is getting more emphasized for the R&D program evaluation. Qualitative indicators such as 'Productive-interactions' and 'Social-impact of R&D' have been included for the evaluation criteria in USA, UK and Netherlands. Recently, Korean government also realizes importance of the social-impact, so 'Follow-up evalution' is launched in order to evaluate not only technical-impact but also social-impact. In this paper, possibilities and challenges of social-impact analysis are reviewed. Furthermore, successful cases from the leading overseas countries are benchmarked to have policy implications.

System dynamics model has been developed and computer simulation has been peformed for the evaluation of R&D policy. One of the main results of the basecase scenario is as follows. After simulation of nuclear R&D resource allocation strategies, we discovered that their net benefit value was maximum at 130% nuclear R&D budget case. And after simulation of human resource management strategies and policy research program strategies, we confirmed that it is beneficial to allocate budgets in the early phase for human resources management program and research program for the policy.
