Abstract NFEC(National Research Facilities and Equipment Center) supports the establishment of a full-time operation and utilization system for promoting R&D performance and sharing research infrastructures based on 「the 2nd Advancement plan」. This year, we launched a pilot project, which helps collect the underutilized research equipment in the universities and create core facilities by research area. Accordingly, we selected 3 universities and funded expenses for transfer, setup, repair and upgrade of the equipment, enhancing the utilization of the research equipment and the R&D capacity in the universities. Also, as MSIT and MOE will adopt and launch Core-Facility Project, we will be able to enhance the utilization of the research facilities and equipment as well as the R&D capacity. Meanwhile, by improving the existing policy, which focuses on purchase and management, we have introduced policy suggestions such as ‘Research facilities and equipment cost pooling system’ which will be implemented from Sep. 2019.
