The facts so far

As reported. Each one links to where it comes from.

  • Selection criteria require an R&D investment ratio of at least 5 percent of sales and objective proof of R&D performance.koreatimes.co.kr

Why it matters

The revival of this program is significant as it provides young science and engineering researchers a path to serve their military duty at institutions with advanced research infrastructure. For Samsung Medison, this designation offers a potential boost to its talent pipeline, allowing it to recruit highly skilled AI graduates who might otherwise face career interruptions or leave the country.

However, the program is highly competitive and limited. The selection process requires large conglomerates to meet strict criteria, including maintaining an R&D investment ratio of at least 5 percent of sales and providing objective proof of R&D performance. The final allocation of the 81 recommended slots is still pending the Military Manpower Administration's review.
