• Education program related to industrial/social problem solving

1. Research Competency Fortification
   • Increased ratio of qualitative evaluation and index diversification for research achievement evaluation*, major performance-centered qualitative evaluation based on the securing of professional evaluation committee
   • Characteristics of each academic area reflected on the evaluation, and burden lessened with simplified application form

     The San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (selected by 1,553 colleges and institutes worldwide in December, 2012) recommends using the Eigenfactor and h-index rather than the impact factor alone.

2. Master’s/Doctoral Research Talent Fostering
   • Increased support of master’s/doctoral students (17,000 → 19,000 annually), creation of stable study/research environment by increasing the standard for graduate school research scholarship and rising researcher support*
   • Mandatory agreement relating to teaching assistants and researchers between the education research team and supporting student & fortified student right protection

     (Master’s student) KRW 600,000→ KRW 700,000 per month, (Doctor’s student) KRW 1 mil →1.3 mil per month, (Doctor’s completed) KRW 1 mil per month, (rising researcher) KRW 2.5 mil → 3 mil per month

3. Substantialization of Graduate School Education & Research
   • Graduate school educational program fortification, enhancement of research ethics, improvement of international students, etc.
   • Research-focused school system fortified through innovation of graduate school system
4. National/Social Research Talent Fostering in Necessary Areas
