II-1. Needs of KOCSEA and ETRI
KOCSEA
 Shows narrow and deep R&D activity from university.
 Does not have any opportunities to join directly in the R&D
project provided by Korean government.
 Hope to expand the source of funding.
ETRI
 Has carried out very large scale R&D projects provided by
Korean government.
 Suffers from the depletion of new idea.
 Hope to make a global cooperation to obtain the new
technology.

II-2. Making a Solid Channel to Cooperate
 We can consider two-step approach to the cooperation.
 The first step is to launch the cooperation in the small scale.
 The second one is to expand the cooperation to the large scale.
 Small-scale cooperation model
 Both organizations make a technical exchanges by holding the
KOCSEA technical symposium with a common goals.
 KOCSEA provides ETRI with more productive technological
discussion.
 Based on this network, ETRI obtains the technological trends in
USA and finds a clue to solve any problems met in the project.
 ETRI supports the symposium steadily in budget.
 Problem: It is not easy to continue the cooperation long time.

II-2. Making a Solid Channel to Cooperate
 Large-scale cooperation model
 After establishing the network of confidence, the process for
collaboration is launched.
 KOCSEA provides the new idea of R&D topic to make a proposal
to Korean government.
 But KOCSEA is not allowed to present any R&D topics.
 If the idea is shared with ETRI, ETRI presents the idea as a
demand on IT R&D. At this time the idea may become a subtopic
in ETRI’s proposal to the government.
 If the proposal is selected as a national project, ETRI outsources
the topic to KOCSEA.
 KOCSEA achieves a wonderful achievement.
 Problem: Is it possible to have so open mind?
