NST Signal is a specialized policy publication designed to capture signals that herald future changes in the rapidly evolving global science and technology environment, and to present the direction and strategic implications of science and technology policy.

The inaugural issue covers key policy issues in the science and technology sector, such as strategy research projects and analyses of the effectiveness of human resources policies at government-funded research institutes. It also includes an overview of NST's achievements in technology commercialization at these institutes. In addition, the magazine makes extensive use of infographics to ensure that not only researchers but also the general public can easily understand science and technology policies.

Kim Youngsik, Chairman of NST, stated, "Reading the trends and preparing for the future is a core element of securing national competitiveness," adding, "We will do our utmost to establish NST Signal as a leading platform that serves as a compass for the science and technology community, providing future outlooks and fostering policy discourse."

NST plans to publish NST Signal quarterly to continuously share major policy issues and future strategies in the science and technology sector, while strengthening its role as a communication channel between researchers at government-funded institutes and policymakers.

NST Signal is accessible to everyone via the NST website and is also distributed to policy officers at government-funded research institutes and related organizations.
