Abstract
The IIS, which is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, has contributed to the development of science and technology based on its high abilities of research and development. On the other hand, the necessity of improvements was pointed out for the outreach of research results for many years. In April 2017, a public relations office was established in order to strengthen the information transmission ability and the branding of IIS. In this article, I, the first head of public relations office, outline the background of its establishment and the current activities.
