Overview

JST launched a subcommittee meeting (*) in Feb. 2019 for promoting collaborative initiatives among stakeholders to resolve local issues related to the SDGs with STI based solution(s) toward holistic and sustainable regional revitalization. The subcommittee meeting, “STI＊Localization for the SDGs”, aims to enhance partnerships among local government, private sectors including small and medium enterprises, local civil societies, universities and national research institutes, creating shared value for attaining the SDGs by utilizing scientific knowledge and data as well as combining various technologies adaptable for solving comprehensive issues in communities.
