국가과학기술위원회 체제개편에 따른 관련 법률 검토

The legal structure of the National Science and Technology Commission was reorganized from a mere advisory committee to the independent executive council. So it is inevitable that it should make a great change in the field of science and technology policies at large. Particularly, the controversy over the reorganization of the government funded science and technology institutes. On the other hand, the Framework Act on Science and Technology Article 6 (1) says that 'the Government shall build an effective national innovation system for science and technology, to enable enterprises, universities, Government-funded research institutions, national and public institutions to actively carry out the S&T innovation activities in accordance with the knowledge-based economy and society.' Even though the provision was prescribed in 2001, and government changes completed several times after that, it is really regrettable that science and technology system is not built up firmly and the mission repeats trial and error. This paper will be concentrated on analyzing some acts connected to reorganization of NSTC, especially regarding to the Framework Act on Science and Technology and the Act on the Establishment, Operation and Fostering of Government Funded Science and Technology Research Institute, while other studies have principally concentrated on science and technology policy.
