The government's Council for Science, Technology and Innovation was held, and it was decided to establish an "Integrated Innovation Strategy (tentative name)" that summarizes the strategic contents such as space development, medical care, and IT that have been formulated for each field by the summer of 2018. ..
According to the Cabinet Office, the Council for Science, Technology and Innovation has formulated the "Science and Technology Innovation Comprehensive Strategy" every year to promote the industrial application of basic research.However, there are "Space Development Strategy Headquarters", "Health and Medical Strategy Promotion Headquarters", "IT Comprehensive Strategy Headquarters", etc. within the government, and each has its own strategy.
Since there are voices saying that the activities of the Strategic Headquarters within the government are disjointed and not fully effective, it is judged that a new strategy to control the movements of each Strategic Headquarters is necessary instead of the Science and Technology Innovation Comprehensive Strategy. , Prime Minister Shinzo Abe instructed the relevant ministers.
After formulation, we will proceed with the development of research information infrastructure under the new strategy.Above all, the university will be positioned as a base for creating innovation and will promote reforms so that it can demonstrate its outstanding research capabilities.
Prime Minister Abe said, "In order for Japan to realize innovation ahead of the rest of the world, we must take a global perspective and proceed with concrete policies. Therefore, we will formulate an integrated innovation strategy and reform the university. It needs to be done. "
