We have introduced prioritizing of issues in science and technology for a safe and secure society conducted by “Study Group on Science and Technology Policy for a Safe and Secure Society” of MEXT. Risks and threats have been collected and classified from various sources. Among the collected risks and threats, 17 areas including crime, terrorism, disaster, and infectious disease have been selected. Based on criteria for prioritizing issues, 35 priority issues (technologies for detection of hazardous materials, disaster mitigation, protection from infectious diseases, etc.) and eight common priority issues (simulation technologies for damage evaluation, sensor technologies, etc.) have been selected.
