Object Of Study

The Russian Long-Term Science&Technology Foresight towards 2030 recognizes the critical importance of new materials in virtually all sectors of production, construction, medicine and services. This paper analyzes the essential terminological and content-related problems of foresight categories representation regarding new materials. Besides, the authors consider the development of further measures for direct and indirect (i.e. tax incentives) state support for economic development. The object of study is the science and technology categories “nanotechnologies”, “nanomaterials”, and “nanoproducts”. The study has been conducted using the method of critical technologies. The authors have revealed that the identification of the most promising areas of science and technology development in the framework of foresight, on the one hand, and tax incentives for research and development expenditures, on the other, are asymmetric. The asymmetry is content-related with regard to products and services and, temporal with regard to the duration period. What’s more, it is proposed to expand the current focus of the foresight studies in Russia and ensure that the scope of these studies comprises not only technology but also science and engineering.

Consistent Direction

In order to provide a consistent direction to long-term R&D activities, the Korea Atomic Energy Commission (KAEC) approved a long-term development plan for future nuclear reactor systems which include sodium cooled fast reactor (SFR) and very high temperature reactor (VHTR) on December 22, 2008. The SFR system is regarded as a promising technology to perform actinide management. The final goal of the long-term SFR development plan is the construction of an advanced SFR demonstration plant by 2028. The nuclear hydrogen project in Korea aims at designing and constructing a nuclear hydrogen demonstration system by 2022 to demonstrate its hydrogen production capability. This paper summarizes the overall long-term project plans for SFR and VHTR technology development and explains results of detailed design studies with supporting R&D activities.

The purpose of this paper is to examine commercialization model of appropriate technology through the case of the LaoKorea Science and Technology Center (LKSTC). LKSTC has developed washing, water treatment, and sterilization technology in the agrifood sector and three types of pico-hydro generator, Pico-solar hybrid system, and energy remote monitoring technology in the renewable energy sector. Commercialization of appropriate technology was successfully carried out through the establishment of Kaipan community business, school enterprises, and social enterprise. The policy implications are as follows. First, the commercialization of appropriate technology in developing countries should enhance the linkage with the regional development policies of the recipient countries. Second, in order to minimize market risk, innovative technology development and local startup networks should be properly established. Finally, the mid and long term efforts are needed to increase the sustainability of the business.

Abstract As the former Minister of China's Ministry of Science & Technology (MoST), Guan-hua Xu has witnessed, and personally contributed to, China's science and technology (S&T) development during the critical period of the country's transition into a great economic power. During his tenure at MoST and its predecessor (1995–2007), he promoted the reform of research institutions, initiated some of the Nation's most significant research and development (R&D) projects, and coordinated the formulation of China's National Outline for the Medium to Long Term Science and Technology Development Plan (2006–2020). As a distinguished scientist specializing in remote sensing, Xu has devoted much of his career over the past two decades to S&T policy and management. Since leaving the ministry, he has further explored fundamental issues surrounding China's S&T development, and recently collected his thoughts in a book entitled ‘Towards a Country of Innovation’ (Beijing: Science Press, 2014). In this recent interview with NSR, Xu summarized his view of the problems China faces in becoming an innovative country, and offered his recommendations for drastic reform of China's S&T system.
