Resolution

Session 1:
How Can We Establish and Utilize Information and Knowledge Infrastructure for Collaboration and Innovation?

  • Important to keep an appropriate balance between open and private spheres of information and knowledge
  • Information commons is emerging in diverse fields – genetic code in molecular biology, open source software in ICT, public health in “Scientists without Borders”
  • Necessary to identify and examine characteristics of information commons in different areas and sectors
    • Mechanisms of creating and maintaining information commons
    • Incentive structures of relevant actors
    • Speed of information and knowledge creation
    • Fragmentation of information and knowledge
    • Scope and opportunities for combination of information
  • Towards sectoral systems of information commons

Session 2:
What are international cooperative strategies to cultivate science-based human resources and promulgate their contributions to global innovation ecosystem?

  • More Emphasis on transforming Education system
    • building research universities with global competitiveness
    • exploring new cross cultural educational program
    • Multilateral, Diversity
    • How to solve practical (/global) problems doing research in a foreign country
    • Entrepreneurial University
  • Creating Framework Research Projects Initiated by International Collaboration
    • expanding research fund from
    • international research collaboration
    • supporting career path plans of researchers
  • Creating Network
    • more emphasis on collaboration with East Asia and India
    • Experiential learn
    • Providing incentives to the mobility of HRST
    • circulating HR within hub networks
  • The Role of Japanese Government, Universities, Industries
    • initiating the financial and structured support to these policy targets

Session 3:
Is global alliance feasible to remove the air pollution of East Asia?

  • Set up the goal for removing the world’s air pollution (Sox, NOx, PD etc) and enhance the value of the air resource by 20XX, and co-own this goal landing between Japan and China.
  • To achieve the goal landing, make “the Sustainable Global Alliance against the Air Pollution” between Japan and China as a world forefront.
  • Under this Alliance, build an international innovation engine, which resonantly shares the human value, as well as specifies the sources of pollution and simulates various air pollutions for the long-term future.
  • Design the sustainable system to perform the concurrent observation / evaluation for the progress of these action plans.

Session 4:
Establishing Benchmarks for the Global Innovation Ecosystem
-What is the measure for "Outcome of Innovation" and How to evaluate "Effect of the Policy Instruments"? -

  • We recommend the establishment of international network to set standards of statistical measure for intangible assets and innovation, which is comparable internationally.
  • Also, we suggest the formulation of cooperative framework with UN and OECD and network among Asian countries with the participation of economists and science-technology researchers.
  • The joint research project initiated by EUROSTAT has already started among developed countries. Our objective is to construct the Asian-version project.
