Evaluation indicator:
Specificity and excellence of the mid- to long-term development plan of the institute (adequacy of personnel, facilities, operation strategy, financial investment plan, etc.)
Strategic Goals by Research Task Phase
- The research infrastructure development plan consists of three phases: (1) integration of existing research infrastructure, (2) establishment of new infrastructure (ICT-based shared infrastructure), and (3) international infrastructure expansion.
- Integrate the existing infrastructure of Korea University and the OJEong Resilience Institute and share it with basic science research institutes in the Anam-Hongneung Valley and international research institutes to strengthen the Core Research Institute infrastructure to address environmental and climate crises.
- The core value of the infrastructure development plan is SCIence (Sharing, Cutting-edge, Integration), which aims to integrate and share facilities, equipment, manpower and literature for the advancement of basic science.
- Achieving "Best" in securing infrastructure DB and dedicated research space in the last year of Phase 3
Phase 1: Consolidating existing infrastructure
- Development of a database of scattered facilities, equipment, and literature infrastructure to enhance research immersion, and integrate the infrastructure into the 450m² research space.
- Establishment of an integrated database of the Core Research Institute and Korea University campus infrastructure
- Provision of a comfortable and safe laboratory, such as creating a non-face-to-face meeting room, improving and managing the quality of research space.
- Provision of access to journals that share the latest academic achievements in the basic science of ecosystem material cycles by overcoming the limitations of university-level journal subscriptions.
Phase 2: Building new infrastructure
- Establishment of an ICT-based platform, such as facility rental, equipment reservation, and literature sharing, targeting the infrastructure integrated in Phase 1.
- Discussion and preparation of an operating system that will allow Anam-Hongneung Valley partner organizations to utilize the established ICT infrastructure.
- Development of a sharing platform for research planning and results among the Anam-Hongneung Valley in basic ecosystem mechanism/theory, observation-oriented field research, integrated ecosystem assessment and modeling, while supporting the establishment of a local community network
Phase 3: Expansion of international infrastructure
- Establishment of an infrastructure to achieve a global (mid-latitude) base by establishing a system for exchanging research results with foreign institutions and developing an integrated exchange platform with prominent overseas institutions (Sustainable Development Solutions Network, Asia Pacific Rim University, etc.).
