Abstract

Given the increasing significance of government-sponsored research and development (R&D) programs in Korea, the importance of efficient and effective overall coordination of those programs based on the objective evaluation seems certain to increase. This paper introduces the overall coordination system of national R&D programs in Korea, and addresses current issues and problems encountered in the process of overall coordination. We finally propose a reform measure for the improvement of an overall coordination practice.
