The Korea Institute of Science and Technology Planning (KISTEP, President Sang-sun Kim) and the National Library (Director Hye-ran Seo) signed a business agreement with ISNI, an international standard identification system, on February 23 (Tuesday) for connecting and sharing information of national researchers. The agreement was signed in writing to prevent the spread of Covid-19, and it is expected to be easier to access and utilize domestic and foreign researchers and research results.





KISTEP became the 15th organization to participate in the ISNI Consortium under this agreement, and the two organizations will cooperate to issue new ISNI linked to the National Research Information System (NRI), a pan-departmental research information integration service. In addition, it is expected that the search and utilization of domestic researchers and research materials will increase internationally by providing easier and more accurate integrated information through the ISNI authorization system.
 
"Various attempts and efforts should be supported to promote data convergence and utilization to cope with rapidly changing environment and the New Normal era," said Sang-sun Kim, president of KISTEP. "Through this agreement, we will establish a strategic support system to strengthen and lead innovation capabilities."
