National Assembly Futures Institute holds a briefing on launching its research project for 2019
- aims to derivate predictions and future strategies by converging 13 areas-
<Summary>
The National Assembly Futures Institute (President Park Jin) will host a briefing on launching its research for 2019 at a meeting room #5 of the National Assembly Building at 14:00~16:00 on April 11, 2019. Based on the results of the future prediction for 13 areas conducted in 2018, the NAFI plans
to predict what the future would look like by converging the areas and derive strategies to prepare
for it. Furthermore, the NAFI plans to converge the 13 areas to classify national future into 4 categories, and let the people choose the desired state of the country. In addition, the NAFI will
present a national long-term development strategies to achieve that. It is worth to note that the
2019 NAFI project includes a future impact assessment which evaluates mid- and long-term development plans of the executive in preparation for the 2018 projects, and a joint research project with five research institutes affiliated with political parties. (End)
