[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] Who are the people behind the most prominent companies in South Korea recently, such as Naver, Kakao, Baedal Minjok, and Coupang? How can we diagnose and find solutions to national challenges in the environmental sector, such as microplastics and recycling waste issues?

The Science and Technology Policy Institute (STEPI) announced on the 8th that it will operate an "Online Career Experience Program" that provides career exploration content videos using its own research achievements and researchers for high school students nationwide.

Following the first half of the year, this program is linked with the Free Semester System and offers students an opportunity to explore careers online, as on-site career experience education has been hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through STEPI’s diverse science and technology innovation policy research and the researchers conducting this research, students can understand the science and technology fields and related occupations, and explore careers connected to the profession of policy research institute researchers.

In the additional lecture videos for the second half of the year, Research Fellow Kim Young-hwan (Innovation Enterprise Research Group) introduces the future image of innovative entrepreneurs under the title "Entrepreneurship and Korea’s Young Innovators." He examines the characteristics and success factors of today’s Korean innovative entrepreneurs (Young Innovators), who are represented by innovative ideas and a challenging spirit, and discusses their efforts to solve problems of people and the world.

Associate Research Fellow Lee Hyuk (R&D Innovation Research Group) presents a lecture titled "Viewing the Environmental Sector from the Perspective of National Challenges," identifying the entrenchment and structural causes of challenges and deriving implications. He introduces the process of diagnosing and deriving solutions to national challenges in the environmental sector, such as microplastics and recycling waste issues, from the perspectives of sustainability, complexity, and uncertainty. Lecture videos from last year and the first half of this year on topics such as ‘Space,’ ‘Science and Technology Diplomacy,’ and ‘Future Industries’ are also provided.
