On May 28, 2021, the“Act of National Key Fields Industry-University Cooperation and Skilled Personnel Training”(hereinafter referred to as“the Skilled Personnel Training Act”) was promulgated. The purpose of the Skilled Personnel Training Act is to encourage cooperation between national universities and industries and enhance the functions of education, training, research and service. The Skilled Personnel Training Act aims to improve the effectiveness of research and development results through exchanges of teaching and research faculties, knowledge diffusion, and technology transfer. The competent authority facilitates the establishment of research institutes set up by national universities to conduct research in particular key national fields (hereinafter referred to as“key research institutes”) and provide them with more flexible and autonomous space by loosening legal restrictions from various laws and regulations such as the University Act, Degree Conferral Act, Teachers' Act and the Act Governing the Appointment of Educators. According to the Skilled Personnel Training Act, the research institutes have legally independent status and operate independently. They can propose alternative measures regarding personnel qualifications and recruitment, such as the qualifications of the dean and the appointment of teachers, to form an innovative industry-university governance structure. However, it is necessary to examine the actual operation situation to determine the efficacy of these alternative measures. This article starts from the impact of chip acts enacted by various countries on technology talent cultivation in our country, and describes the legislative background and key provisions of the Skilled Personnel Training Act. Next, from the perspective of university autonomy, the article examines whether the establishment of the key research institutes violates the spirit of university governance. Furthermore, the article summarizes and analyzes the current status of organizational and personnel operations after the establishment of the key research institutes, and discusses the difficulties encountered in implementation while presenting personal opinions. It is hoped that under the regulations of the Skilled Personnel Training Act, the competent authority can oversee the operation of the key research institutes while considering the spirit of loosening legislative restrictions. The key research institutes can operate freely from the thinking of current legal restraints in organization and personnel systems, and establish a new model of university governance with innovative methods. |
