In academic world, specialization has been progressed and integration has been weak-
ened. Members of Science Council of Japan (SCJ) and 47 academic societies (later 55) established
“Japan Academic Network for Disaster Reduction(JANET-DR)” which covers social sciences, life
sciences, natural sciences and engineering. JANET-DR works well for promoting interdisciplinary
collaboration and social implementation of research, for the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. JANET-
DR suggests a new connection with academic association.“Transdisciplinary Federation of Science
and Technology” is a great leader in integration of specialties and expected for contributing disaster
reduction.
