This study emphasizes the importance of the mission concept in managing the public programs by the government rather than the existing quantitative output. To this end, a case study for 7 representative National R&D Programs in Korea is presented, based on the program portfolio model using the mission construct suggested by the prior researches, in order to give its empirical validity and strategic meaning. For the case analysis, the study devises the measures to evaluate the level of the mission in a program in the aspect of achievement and appropriateness. Real data collected from NTIS are analyzed in two ways: static and dynamic perspectives. The first is conducted by differences of mission values among programs and the latter by yearly differences. Finally, it concludes the implication and the shortcoming of the study.

The Korean government continuously increases the R&D investment in order to pursue an economic growth through technological innovation. Hence, the intensity of governmental R&D has increased rapidly. However, the whole amount of the R&D investment is still small compared to developed countries. And the type of R&D policies is more and more changing from the catch-up model to the technology-driven model. Therefore, there is a growing interest in the efficiency of public R&D investment. Hence, many studies on the efficiency of R&D investment have been researched. This study estimated the efficiency of governmental R&D programs considering the technological outcomes, e.g. theses, patents and so on, using DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) with data of S&T investment and outcomes from NTIS(National S&D Information Service). In addition, we used the Mann-Whitney Test to investigate the characteristics of governmental R&D investment.

This study considered technology commercialization as a sort of external R&D of the licensee firm. Then, this study analyzed industrial characteristics of technology commercialization and interactions between internal R&D and technology commercialization from the licensee's viewpoint. Data from NTIS (National science and Technology Information Service) and KED (Korea Enterprise Database) were matched. 7,645 technology commercializations from 1,980 firms were extracted. Afterward, OLS and quantile regression were applied to the extracted data. The impact of technology commercialization on firm growth was concentrated to few high-tech and medium high-tech firms. Technology commercialization was effective in the growth in a year while internal R&D was effective in the growth in two years. The firm size was insiginificant variable. In analysis of 4 selected industries (automobile, electronics, semiconductor, chemistry), the impact was skewed among industries. Though the importance of technology commercialization is widely acknowledged, quantitative analyses like this study are uncommon. Therefore, this study can be useful for the tailored industry solutions for technology commercialization.

With a global shift from carbon economy towards hydrogen economy, leading countries such as the U.S., Europe, China, and Japan are focusing their research capabilities on hydrogen research and development(R&D) by announcing various hydrogen economy policies. South Korea also has been following this global trend by announcing hydrogen economy roadmap in January 2019 and legislating hydrogen economy related law. In this paper, we tried to figure out the national R&D trend of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle(FCEV) and its knowledge structure by using recent 10-year project data of National Technology and Information Service(NTIS). We collected 1,479 FCEV-related projects and conducted text mining and network analysis. According to the analysis, FCEV-related R&D has been actively carried out over the entire process of hydrogen production, transport, storage, and utilization. Furthermore, the paper provides insights into the government's policy agenda building and market strategy on the hydrogen economy.

Culture technology (CT) becomes important in the recent environment where digital technology drives content-based innovations. However, technological trends of CT have not been systematically discussed. Especially, the trends of CT should be analyzed from the national perspective, because CT has grown with the help of government-driven innovation. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze CT trends focusing on national research projects. We collected data on CT from the national science and technology information service (NTIS) database, analyzed the keyword co-occurrence network, and identified the patterns of technological innovation using a clustering analysis. As a result, we found that CT has contributed to the digital content and cultural media, and has been actively developed with the help of machine learning technique. Especially, due to the rise of Covid-19, the non-face-to-face online content is rapidly increasing. This study provides important clues for understanding, analyzing CT trends.

In this study, we propose a Dual Approach methodology to enhance the accuracy of document classifiers by utilizing both contextual and keyword information. Firstly, contextual information is extracted using Google's BERT, a pre-trained language model known for its outstanding performance in various natural language understanding tasks. Specifically, we employ KoBERT, a pre-trained model on the Korean corpus, to extract contextual information in the form of the CLS token. Secondly, keyword information is generated for each document by encoding the set of keywords into a single vector using an Autoencoder. We applied the proposed approach to 40,130 documents related to healthcare and medicine from the National R&D Projects database of the National Science and Technology Information Service (NTIS). The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methodology outperforms existing methods that rely solely on document or word information in terms of accuracy for document classification.

As researches of on scientific technology are considered as a pivotal factor of a national competitiveness, the central and local governments have extended assistance for commercialization-linked technology development (CLTD) and accordingly various outputs are coming out now. However, the valuable findings from painstaking researches are not sufficiently distributed to or shared with other governmental and public organizations, and businesses. As a result, it could be possible for them to become unknown and unused. Therefore, it is being sensed that a measure to coordinately and systematically manage the information and outputs derived from the research projects is urgently needed. Hence, this study designs PIMS to manage CLTD efficiently and transparently.
