Chapter 3: The Relationship Between Science and Technology and Society in the 21st Century
Section 5: Expectations for a New Science and Technology Administrative Framework
(2) Realization of Ideal Research and Development Systems by Making National Testing and Research Institutions Separate Administrative Corporations
When National Testing and Research Institutions become separate
administrative corporations, there will be a transition from the prior management
methods of the past to after-the-event checks in accordance with strict assessments,
and the achievement of flexible organization, personnel, and financial management
will make it possible to create and apply outstanding research results which
make full use of the characteristics and functions of research institutions.
Because such flexible organization and personnel management
will become possible, it is expected that an environment will be developed which
encourages researchers to attack their research themes with stronger desire,
and that the quality of research personnel are improved.
