The lack of supply for science and engineering doctors will be over 12,000 in between 2013 and 2022. (National Assembly Research Service, ’15.3)

Role Expansion of Research-Based School as a Creator of Intelligence

• Research-based school, internationally, is in charge not only of academic interests but of community, national, and global issues

Through collaboration,Seattle, University of Washington, New York City, and Cornell University contributed to the regional competency and innovation such as smart city project and business start-up activation.

Graduate School Education & Research Support by Quality of Research

• The research support and graduate school manpower development business of other competent countries focus on the quality of the representative research accomplishment and thesis when evaluating research performance.

Excellence Strategy, Germany evaluates based on the quality of 25 major theses per business, and asks to submit up to 10 these per participating professor in order to evaluate the research performance.
