Expectations for the Program

One of the things revealed the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is the relationship between society and the experts. It is an opportunity for the public to recognize in need of expert knowledge to solve social issues.

It is also a significant proof of RISTEX's project that is to solve problems by researching social issues and implementing the research results into the policy. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly important to communicate this information in an understandable way to the society.

This attempt is a media called POLICY DOOR. I would like to continue to make various attempts in the future to see how we can journalistically convey our research results to the general public for the better understanding instead of just communicating by an academic perspective.
