A Study on the Application Plan of Basic Original Technology in Science & Research Parks : Focus on Science Parks in Korea

AbstractScience park developments have become ubiquitous in China and India in recent decades as both countries integrate further into the global economy. These exclusive high-tech spaces prioritize the partnership between industry, research and the government as a desirable mode of urbanization, economic growth and knowledge production. Contrary to the older form of industrial zone associated with big science and big industry for national mobilization during the Cold War, contemporary science parks constitute a network of global spaces that are designed to facilitate the circulation of technology, personnel and capital in the neo-liberal world. Similarly, science parks are closely linked to innovation, entrepreneurship and social exclusion rather than the collective social betterment. As utopian machines for the privileged, these exclusive spaces are about consumption, desire, hedging and speculation as much as about science, research and production.

Research Parks

This article elaborates benefits of building technology or research parks for innovations. Governments and universities around the world are turning to research parks due to their ability to revitalize local economies. They are betting that shared parking lots, open offices, restaurants, bars, parties, and activities will make it easier for people to mix, mingle, and strike creative sparks. Research parks resist recessions longer and recover faster. As governments and corporations hope to use science park development to spur economic growth, it is important to understand factors that make these research parks successful. Governments see science parks to move up the economic food chain. Most experts, who have studied science parks, agree on the need for business leadership, civic support, and strong university links. Singapore is using education and science parks to shift its economy to software, advanced materials, and biomedical products. It recruited top scholars for its schools and offers 1000 free Ph.D. scholarships to students who promise to work in Singapore for 10 years.

Speech Science

The history of speech-language pathology as a profession encompasses a tradition of knowledge generation. In recent years, the quantity of speech science research and the presence of speech scientists within the domain of the American Speech-Hearing-Language Association (ASHA) has diminished, even as ASHA membership and the size of the ASHA Convention have grown dramatically. The professional discipline of speech science has become increasingly fragmented, yet speech science coursework is an integral part of the mandated curriculum. Establishing an active, vibrant community structure will serve to aid researchers, educators, and clinicians as they work in the common area of speech science.
