Background

※ Recent trend of performance management systems both domestically and

internationally

Demand for better performance and more effectiveness of R&D

investment

* U.S. : GPRA and PART → the performance evaluation on government programs

* Korea : 『 the National R&D Performance and Results Assessment Act 』 (2005)

* R&D Budget : $ 3.13 billion (1999) → $ 8.25 billion (2006)

* No of R&D Projects : 8,335 (1999) → 31,967 (2006)

Increase of R&D investment and R&D Projects

Increased demand for “Knowledge-based R&D management”

Lack of systematic management of a large number of R&D information

Necessity of interconnection and efficiency by well-organized system
