ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to present policy directions for the interdisciplinary convergence research support projects by analyzing the results of the interdisciplinary convergence research support projects and comparing them with the results of other research and development support projects. Analyzing the results of the interdisciplinary convergence research projects showed that first, academic achievement and manpower performance showed high performance, whereas the intellectual property rights performance and industrial support performance were very low. Second, the results of the convergence research are shown in terms of public participation and public relations, convergence researcher network. Third, quantitative results of academic journals outperformed other R&D support projects, but the quality index of the Impact Factor (IF) was low. Fourth, the subsequent generations of scholars showed higher performance than other R&D support projects. Fifth, intellectual property (patent) rights performance and industrial support performance were very low compared to other R&D support projects. Through these, the policy suggestions are as follows: First, it is necessary to expand the research support project through the allocation of additional budget, because it provides high-quality results in line with the purpose of the interdisciplinary convergence research project. Second, it is necessary to further expand the research stage to create intellectual property right performance and industrial support performance. Third, it is necessary to develop a model that can develop a performance index suitable for humanities and social sciences interdisciplinary convergence research projects and model the effectiveness of the various outcomes generated during the research process.
