(Ref. 1) JST History

Establishment: August 1957Purposes:To provide with national/international scientific and technological information promptly and accurately as Japan’s central organization of science and technology.

Establishment: July 1961（independent from “Development Division of the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN)” which was founded in October 1958）Purposes:To develop and utilize Japan’s own science and technology resources from universities and national institutes. Privatization or corporatization of these technologies.

Japan Information Center for Science and Technology (JICST) (*) Research Development Corporation of Japan (JRDC)

Establishment (merger): October 1996

Purposes:

To strengthen the infrastructure for the promotion of science and technology in a comprehensive and efficient way, as well as vigorously implementing initiatives set out in the Science and Technology Basic Law.

Japan Science and Technology Corporation (JST)

*changed name to New Technology Corporation in 1989

National Research and Development Agency: Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)

In April 2015, JST became a National Research and Development Agency in order to maximize its achievements of the R&D. This organization change enabled JST the target setting, evaluation and optimisation of the management.

Independent Administrative Agency: Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)

(Ref. 2) JST 20th Anniversary Project Outline

JST celebrates 20 years from the integration of the organization in October 2016. We look back at JST

achievements including the time of its former organizations, Japan Information Center for Science and

Technology (JICST) and Research Development Corporation of Japan (JRDC), and outline the future

prospect of JST.

Center for Science Communication

Science Agora― A platform connecting science and society, which

is open to everyone.

The people coming together in this forum will aim to realize “science harmonized with society” and a “society harmonized with science” through dialogue and

collaboration while respecting a diversity of values.

Vision, Shared Issues, Themes in 2016

[Focused theme in 2016]

5 years of reconstruction after the Great East Japan EarthquakeThe disaster taught us that there are many issues triggered by natural threats that cannot be solved solely by the capacities of science and technology. While holding Science Agora in this year marking the turning point, we wish to provide an opportunity to sincerely face that reality and communicate with each other in consideration of the following issues: what we overcame through the disaster; what we were unable to solve; and, what the remaining challenges are.

Let’s Build a Society Harmonized with Science■Vision

■Shared Issues toward 2020

■Themes in 2016

Development of ScienceLed by Society
