In 2015, the State Council of South Korea finalized its goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by "37% from the business-as-usual (BAU) level" by 2030 across all the economic sectors. Of that reduction, 4.5% will be achieved overseas by leveraging Emission Trading Systems (ETS) aided by international cooperation. In line with this, considering both the demand for and supply of the carbon market increased after the Paris agreement, the importance of public diplomacy in negotiating climate change actions also rose. This study aimed to analyze the impact of international discussions such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on domestic policies and the types of public diplomatic climate change policies pursued by different government agencies, and draw implications from them. This study attempted to find implications from the Korean government's public diplomacy on climate change for developing countries. Lessons learned regarding Korea's public diplomacy would provide a practical guidance to the Asian developing countries, which are suffering from environmental crisis at a phase of rapid economic growth.

Currently Energy-Saving (ES) methods in cellular networks could be improved, as compensation method for irregular Base Station (BS) deployment is not effective, most regional ES algorithm is complex, and performance decline caused by ES action is not evaluated well. To resolve above issues, a low-complexity energy efficient BS cooperation mechanism for Long Time Evolution (LTE) networks is proposed. The mechanism firstly models the ES optimization problem with coverage, resource, power and Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. To resolve the problem with low complexity, it is decomposed into two sub-problems: BS Mode Determination (BMD) problem and User Association Optimization (UAO) problem. To resolve BMD, regional dynamic multi-stage algorithms with BS cooperation pair taking account of load and geographic topology is analyzed. And then a distributed heuristic algorithm guaranteeing user QoS is adopted to resolve UAO. The mechanism is simulated under four LTE scenarios. Comparing to other algorithms, results show that the mechanism can obtain better energy efficiency with acceptable coverage, throughput, and QoS performance.

Many tertiary hospitals have started to establish cooperative relationships with small and medium sized hospitals in Korea. But the performance of the relationship is not satisfactory to both of partners. The relationship and performance of cooperation for small and medium sized hospitals are analyzed according to the framework of inter-organizational cooperation. Data are collected by 4 focal hospital and 34 small and medium sized hospitals through interview and questionnaire. The findings are : a) The cooperation is focused on management area, such as healthcare technology transfer and information sharing, rather than patient referral. b) Patient referral is not yet active in cooperative relationship. But some partner hospitals which is located close and managing internal organization for cooperation show a significant number of referrals. c) The characteristics of high performers are positive attitude about cooperation, and recognition of the relationship as flexible, experiences of cooperation, internal and external management activities.

세계적인 전염병의 유행하에서 의료시스템의 붕괴는 시민사회의 자발적인 참여와 새로운 방식의 대응 방식이 나타나고 있다. 이는 보건 위기의 최전선에서 즉시 활용이 가능한 필수적 대응기술로, 적정기술이 더이상 중간기술로 개발도상국뿐 아니라 보건 시스템이 붕괴된 모든 시민 사회의 위기를 극복할 수 있는 기술로서의 역할을 보여주고 있다. 본 Part 2에서는 음압실 및 인공호흡기등 의료용 기구, 진단칩 및 진단기술등과 같이 COVID-19하에서 붕괴된 의료 위기 하에서 신속한 대응책으로 준비되고 있는 의료 및 보건분야에 대한 사례들을 적정기술의 테두리안에서 소개하고자 한다. 기존의 다국적 대기업과 공적인 인증등으로 인한 장벽으로 접근하기 어려웠던 분야에 과학기술자들의 자발적인 참여로 대중화되고 있음을 사례로 소개한다. 최근 사회혁신등에서 제기되고 있는 다양한 오픈과학기술 운동을 통해서, 과학자들과 공학자들이 이러한 질병의 대유행 상황에서, 사회에 소외된 계층의 피해를 최소화하여 사회적, 계층적 붕괴를 막기위한 재정의된 적정기술의 역할등을 설명하고자 한다.

The recent decades have seen a growing rate of international cooperation in science, technology, and innovation (STI) including in the field of green technologies. However, current approaches to national systems of innovation (NSI) have not kept up with this development. International aspects are rather treated as external conditions within which policymakers operate and respond but not influence. This paper tackles this problem by applying a refined NSI concept that includes an international dimension and complements past frameworks by focusing on those Korean government policies, actors, and activities relevant for the internationalization of STI. Austria and Korea have both formulated differing strategies to acquire international leading positions in the field of innovation and the development of green technologies. In the first step, the paper assesses Korea's international activities within the field of green technologies that transcend national boundaries and establish international connections. The government has still a strong influence on selecting technology areas for strategic funding but our findings show that international STI actors have difficulties in identifying the appropriate point of contact to initiate cooperation or apply for related funding. Second, an external perspective on Korea's international collaborations in the field of green technologies is offered. Austria has tentatively identified the East Asian country as a second-priority cooperation partner for its future STI internationalization activities. Interviews with Austrian stakeholders in the field of green technologies indicate a high interest in cooperation with Korea that is facilitated by a similar business culture based on personal networks. Moreover, researchers and policymakers referred to a shared need of small countries for intelligent decision-making processes regarding potential cooperation partners abroad. However, in order to enhance awareness, visibility and demand for Korean STI cooperation in European countries, more long-term funding programs featuring a more permanent point of contact should be introduced.

본 연구는 우리나라의 과학기술 분야의 국가경쟁력을 확보하기 위한 차원에서 기업의 R&D Source로서의 역할을 수행하는 대학의 산학협력 시스템의 효과적인 활용방안 모색을 목적으로 하였다. 이에 대학 산학협력단의 연구개발 성과물인 특허실적이 기술이전에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았으며, 교육과학기술부 한국연구재단(2013)이 발표한 패널데이터를 이용하여 통계분석을 실시하였다. 특허실적을 독립변수로, 기술이전을 종속변수로 투입하고 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 분석결과 기술이전 전체 건수에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 특허실적 요인은 국내 특허출원수와 해외특허등록수, 미래기술(6T)특허 출원 등록수, 과학기술특허출원수로 나타났고, 기술료를 높이는데 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 요인은 기술이전 전체 건수이며, 특허실적으로는 국내 특허출원수와 미래기술(6T)특허출원수, 과학기술특허출원수인 것으로 조사되었다. 그리고 시사점으로 많은 특허가 출원될 수 있도록 연구개발할 필요가 있으며, 특허의 주요대상을 미래기술(6T)과 과학기술분야에 집중해야 함을 제안하였으며, 특허출원에 많은 노력을 기울임과 동시에 계약기간에 대한 협상대책을 별도로 기획하여야 함을 시사하였다. 그러나 본 연구는 대학 산학협력단의 1차적인 연구성과인 특허실적만을 고려했다는 데에서 한계가 있을 수 있으므로 향후 연구에서는 근본적인 요인으로 제시될 수 있는 인적, 물적자원과 운영시스템 요인을 포함하여 연구할 필요성이 제기된다.

We provide a set of information on technologies to draw meaningful action plans for the inter- nationalization of National R&D activities. In this study, we employed a modified Delphi method to evaluate level od our technological capabilities and developed countries' as well. We investigated technology acquistion methodologies,technology characteristics and various aspects of international cooperation in terms of technology. Then we analyzed final responses of participants (i.e, the third round results of Delphi method) to see the correlation among various factors in developing tehnologies through international R&D cooperation. The technology classification used in this research was developed by STEPI (Science and Technology Policy Institute). In conclusion, levels of our technologies were investigated to be between the stage of imitating/absorbing advanced technologies and the stage of digesting acquired technologies. Especially, comparing with other technologies, mechanical engineering was evaluated to be almost near the stage of digesting acquired technology (the middle level stage of technology). Out overal technological capabilites were evaluated to be 40~60% of top level countries'.
