Home Research Centers Papers

Pursuing Research of Excellence

• Made up of the most eminent scientists who meet the top international evaluation standards* for scientific excellence
• 50 research centers will be established by 2017.

  * Separate review panels will be organized to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of each candidate.

Strategic Composition and Flexible Operation

• HQ research centers will increase and constitute a larger part of the composition of IBS research centers to bring operational stability to IBS
• Allow operational flexibility by selecting small-sized research centers in addition to the already existing large-scale research centers

Efficient Operation

• Current group leaders will temporarily maintain their position and they are now subject to more reinforced evaluation and selection process. In the meantime, a phased operational transition will take place to ease the shift to the associate-director and/or co-director systems.
• Directors will decide how to run such new systems depending on the field of research and characteristics of the research centers.

Opportunities for Long-term, Group Research

• Scientists who have led any Creative Programs commissioned by the National Research Foundation (NRF) of Korea, or who have demonstrated the equivalent potential will be recruited as directors (including co-directors) and associate directors, and they will be granted opportunities for long-term, group research.

Collaboration with World-renowned Scientists & Training for Promising Scientists

• Attract world-renowned scientists under the initiative to recruit 300 of the world’s top 1% scientists (including scientists who won major awards in science and technology or who published highly cited papers -top 1% citation)
• Supports independent research for promising researchers (IBS Young Scientist Program, IBS Senior Scientist Program)
