K-Moonshot Project Management Hub

3.20

Derivation Chain

Step 1 8-sector K-Moonshot national R&D programs launched
Step 2 Administrative burden on K-Moonshot project teams
Step 3 Integrated project progress, deliverables, and settlement management SaaS

Problem

Small research institutions and university labs (5-20 researchers) conducting national R&D projects like K-Moonshot must handle progress reports, research fund settlements, and deliverable tracking (papers, Patents, software registrations) across separate systems (IRIS, RCMS, e-R&D). Each quarter, one researcher spends 3-5 days writing reports — and format changes frequently force complete rewrites.

Solution

Auto-maps IRIS and RCMS reporting formats so researchers can enter progress data, labor costs, material expenses, and travel costs in a single dashboard, which auto-converts to each system's submission format. Monitors deliverables (papers, Patents) and budget execution rates in real time, with automated checklist alerts before settlement deadlines.

Target: Research administration staff at small national R&D institutions, university industry-academia cooperation office staff
