The MPHPT received guidelines to evaluate R&D
in the field of info-communications and enacted the MPHPT guidelines
on implementation of info-communications R&D evaluation.
Two years after the enactment of these guidelines, the National
Institute of Information and Communications Technology will
start operation as an independent administrative institute in
April 2004, and the MPHPT's R&D policy system will be restructured.
Taking this and the fact that, in recent years, standardization
and a strategy for knowledge assets have become increasingly
important from the R&D viewpoint, into consideration, the
MPHPT has decided to amend these guidelines. In advance of the
amendment of these guidelines, the MPHPT is inviting comments
from the general public concerning the draft amendment of the
guidelines.
Comments concerning the draft amendment of these guidelines
can be submitted via email, mail or fax, until 5pm on March
12.
