データへの情熱

抄録

Besides his own research area, the late Professor Akira Tsugita played leading roles in the activities of ICSU's committee on Data (CODATA) and Science Council of Japan (SCJ). Tsugita organized Task Groups in CODATA and committees in SCJ to encourage protein scientists. He emphasized that scientific data should be fully and openly accessed, and pushed ICSU and SCJ to make statements against legal restrictions on access to data. His activities of data science will be introduced in the Memorial Session.
