The Changes in the “Science and Technology Basic Plan” and the Management Philosophy of the Society

―Looking back on the 7th period operation of Japan Society for Intellectual Production (J-SIP)―

Abstract

This paper reviews the changes in the Science and Technology Basic Plan and the Management Philosophy of J-SIP, focusing on the main issue of 7th period including before and after the period. In the Third Science and Technology Basic Plan at the time of the inauguration of J-SIP, industry-academia-government collaboration was expected as an important means to create continuous innovation from research results. The Fifth Science and Technology Basic Plan at the time of the 7th J-SIP term called for “full-scale industry-academia-government collaboration” because the existing functions of industry-academia collaboration were insufficient. Looking back on the accumulation of analytical research on industry-academia collaboration, I will consider, based on the results of the memorial session, the importance of evidence-based multifaceted analysis and dispassionate discussion, which is the mission of academic societies, and the future direction of J-SIP's research on industry-academia collaboration.
