The R&E program was first initiated in 2002, with the purpose to promote the self-directed learning among young talent in the field of science.

The three direction set out in the Plan are i) to diversify and specialize R&E activities, ii) to create a process-focused R&E environment where young talent can take on challenges, and iii) to preparing and systemize a follow-up support for R&E activities.
