Solution-Driven Co-creative R&D Program for SDGs (SOLVE for SDGs):
Preventing Social Isolation & Loneliness and Creating Diversified Social Networks
This program promotes clarification of the mechanisms of social isolation and loneliness, while producing the vision of a society that does not lead to social isolation and loneliness. This program furthermore promotes R&D on visualization and evaluation methods (indicators, etc.) for the risk of social isolation and loneliness in people and groups, as well as social schemes to prevent social isolation and loneliness.
This program aims for a society that does not lead to social isolation and loneliness by creating diverse social connections and networks among people, organizations, and communities.
