Abstract
It has become more and more important to plan and implement national R & D projects in such a way that they are strategically focused on important areas and are efficiently implemented to create new industrial technology. This paper examines some aspects concerning collection of wide-ranging and different views and opinions through broad discussion by using a new type of forum or workshop, held by METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) and NEDO, using the Internet to overcome time and geographical constraints, to plan R & D programs (policies).
