Abstract
To realize the concept of the Science and Technology Basic Plan, it is necessary to promote the reforms of social structures and awareness. The flexibility in managing national research institutes is greatly enhanced by introducing independent administrative systems by enacting the new law. This fact shows the importance of reforms to remove the original causes. Basic Plan also shows the importance to increase the mobility of researchers. For this purpose, the new systems to increase post-doctoral researchers, term employment and others are prepared. But there are some difficulties in ensuring mobilization of researchers in the social environment where the lifetime employment still remains. By improving the systems and integrating young researchers activities, it is expected to deepen the social awareness. These efforts will also make the systems attractive to industries.
