“Scientific Research of Priority Areas” is to promote research efficiently and effectively by identifying such research areas as leading to the improvement and strengthening of the academic research standard, requiring a global engagement in research, and responding to particularly strong social demands. It enables mobile and flexible responses for defining priority areas and implementing the research as well as effective cooperation among individual researchers beyond boundaries of their institutions, so that the researchers have more specific orientation to their research purpose and conduct their research more creatively.
