Becoming a “Global Standard Policy Research Institute that Innovates with the Region through Creative Imagination.”
Greetings,
I am Kim Young Bae, the 16th President of the Chungbuk Research Institute.
It is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to our official website.
Established in 1990 as the first local policy research institute in Korea, the Chungbuk Research Institute was founded in anticipation of the era of decentralization.
Over the past 35 years, as Chungcheongbuk-do has positioned itself as the “Heart of Korea,” we have been at the forefront—supporting strategic industries such as semiconductors, bio-health, and secondary batteries; expanding industrial and economic infrastructure such as the Cheongju Industrial Complex, Osong Bio Valley, and the Innovation City; and enhancing transportation networks and living conditions.
Throughout this journey, the Institute has played a central role in research and strategic policy development, making vital contributions to regional growth and innovation.
Today, we stand at a pivotal moment of transition, facing global and domestic structural changes such as the rapid advancement of AI technologies, the climate crisis, and demographic decline.
In response, we will focus our research capabilities on delivering tangible results and outcomes that resonate with residents, aligned with Chungcheongbuk-do’s vision:
“Renew Chungbuk, Inspire the People.”
We will prioritize the successful implementation of the province’s 100 key policy initiatives across seven major sectors.Internally, we will foster a creative and professional research environment through organizational renewal, operational innovation, and a strengthened sense of community among our members.
Externally, we will deepen our collaboration with Chungcheongbuk-do Province, local municipalities, the Provincial Council, academia, and civil society, solidifying our role as a trusted and responsive policy platform.
As a research institute by the people, of the people, and for the people of Chungcheongbuk-do, we will continue to pursue practical change and social contribution through high-impact policy research.
We kindly ask for your continued interest and warm support.
Wishing you all health and happiness.
Thank you.
