ABSTRACT :
The author have been engaged in the research and investigation program of science communication on scientific and political discourses. The issues in wide scientific programs in international collaboration are investigated under the criteria of public concern to the innovation and investment, which is expressed in terms of "Science in Society" in many European countries and in terms of "socio-economical impact of innovation" closely related to "knowledge society in the 21st century" according to the EU definition. The author is trying to translate the scientific discourse faced to the public as "Trilogy of technocracy, techno-democracy and creativity of citizens". This is a short resume of this research & investigation issued by University of Bourgogne for the doctorate research program.

Where the Knowledge Management are reorganized for a
new direction of Science in Society – Science Communication and Euro Lobbying : Trilogy of technocracy, techno-democracy and creativity of citizens

1. Introduction
Since 2003, the author has been performing a series of research & investigation of Science Communication and Lobbying activities concerned to the scientific discourses and to the public debate on the political decision of technology choice regarding to the sustainable development. In a previous occasion, I have pointed out a modelling schematization of "Socio-Economical Impact of Innovation" in the European Institution for Research and Innovation [1].
This modelling studies have been done by scaling the amount of investment of trans disciplinary empowerment in dynamics and mobility of research investigation issued by the scientific and technological R&D institutions in Europe. There, I have remarked a large public sphere lay down near to higher political body like European Commission just above the national research institutions like CNRS in France and/or MPG in Germany. The second vague sphere is emerging near to the university based grass root people’s community. I called them “Social Trust Sphere” which have potential ability to incubate the socio-technological innovation at the same time when they evoke largely a popular debate on the technology advancement and social change [2, 3].
In doing so, I have also pointed out the communication aspect of innovation and human behaviour adapting to the society changed accompanied by the technological innovation. I called it "Trilogy of technocracy, techno-democracy and creativity of citizens", where the essence of scientific discourses are explained by the non-linear technological evolution compared to the linear process represented by the massive production phases in industrial society, and this non-linear phenomena is most important for understanding the next coming fusion phase of knowledge society.
Here in this paper, I would like to advance my research points on this aspect of Trilogy, and get into further detail of the practical items of the research tools, that is, the Technology Assessment caused by both of civil and scientific communities. And by way of this, I would like to demonstrate the mechanism of merging people, different social-political opinions, social classes in some cases, into aligned direction of innovation, sometimes appearing as cutting edge effect in an age of sustainable development.

2. Technology Assessment intrigued by civil and scientific community
In this research, the public debate, typically known for Technology Assessment issues on the GMO, Climate Change and Nuclear/Alternative Energy, are treated. The Assessment bodies are European public institutions like EPTA, STOA Program, or national parliamentary investigation programs in each member states of EU [4-7].
Scientific institutions in EU are also facing to this public challenge of cutting edges for sustainable R&D, the debate also in heart of scientific communities are focusing on the "Socio-Economical Impact" and on the political procedure of selecting the future planning of R&D.
The term of "Science in Society" is such a keyword [3], which permits any steak holder of innovation to understand that the R&D is on the plate of debate, how large should be the scale of R&D program, how much budget should be for it, who can/should be the technology push actors, how can it be absorbed by the market and in public society, etc.
Now that this movement of technology assessment is well known and largely implicated not only in scientific communities but also in civil society, the many European public governors are conscious to launch the programs of "public involvement" for the activity of foresight of R&D and assessment of the future knowledge society.
Here in the table below, I show the schematic categorization of my research work on social networking of technology assessment and science foresight.
3. Euro Lobbying facing the science communication
Corresponding to this social movements, there are growing communities concerning the innovation in society, mostly from the parts of industrial professional parties, specialized in public relation communication and marketing strategies, called Lobbying or Consulting specialists. Their roll is pushing the decision making people in the society, who are active around the public parliaments mostly located in capital cities in each EU member states, governmental institutions like European Commission in Brussels, European Parliament in Strasburg, even scattered in different local area in EU where the European institutions of R&D are located, CERN in Geneva, ILL in Grenoble, ITER in south France etc.
Since the late 1980s, the EU is facing to the serious international economical and industrial conflicts and most of its cause was market concurrence on high technology and value added products. The EU has turned up to empower the RTD system, the ESPRIT and EUREKA program was such the typical reform effort of the applied science to the product innovation.
The new technology has brought a new civil implication to the relation of technology - society, that is, it adds more reflecting effect to the society. The users and consumers have actively the involvement style in technology innovation; the user development of the software for IST, the environmental effect of the GMO in agriculture has evoked largely a protestant movement to the symbolized "Global Economy"; once the climate change has been recognized in global issues, the citizens regardless to experts or non experts have acted to perform the reduction of GHG (Green House effect Gas) and turned up to exchange the GHG commission all over the world; R&D in the nuclear and alternative energy have been also the object of debate and discussion for changing the future of the society.
According to this feature, any RTD system in EU cannot avoid to face to the reform pressure, mostly for reducing the environmental risks, and partly for the enlarging and reorganizing the benefit of the community. The reform of ESF (Euro Science Foundation) was one of such challenge, where the traditional academic bulk organization cannot any more react to the organizational change to the higher acceleration of the innovation at the same time to reflexive and risk reducing technology and friendly to the environment.
Since 2000, the Lisbon declaration has implicated the European RTD system into handling a pin curve, the voluntary experts of Euroscience Foundation beside the ESF has launched the social improvement, such as reform of ESF to new council body ERC, a head of DG Research Innovation of EC, they have organized the bi-annual meeting ESOF (Euro Science Open Forum) for all the actors of RTD in EU. They reorganized the framework of international cooperation inside EU to a mutually evaluated research exchange ERA-NET, integrated with NoE (Network of Excellence).
In this course, the concept of "Science and Society" has been publicly announced for taking attention of the citizen society, reflecting the social protest to GMO legalization by EU, they have promoted the social dialog between citizen and experts. They have concentrated to research and investigate on the communication study, how the civil society reacts to the scientific discourses.
Compared to United States of America, where the famous industrial Lobbyists are active in Washington D.C. area, mostly for pushing the deputies and senators at national congress and parliaments, the European case is full of variation and there are plenty of study targets. However, we should remark, the US's case is the very typical for advanced industrialized country, where they have abolished the public technology assessment body OTA attached to the US national congress in the early 1990.
The nature of European movement of Technology Assessment in society is still under evolution, one of it's civilized movement is recently known as "Science Café" involving the lay person in the acceptance part of technology but also the main innovation actor "Scientists" and "Engineers" exhibiting their out-reach of R&D programs. Here we see the most traditional type of encounter of the two different actors of innovation in society, the developers and the consumers of new knowledge, that is, science and technology.
Traditionally, the academic research & study is focusing on this encounter and on the dialog between these two, called proliferation of scientific knowledge, or vulgarization of sciences, where the motivation is laying on the methodology of communication for mutual understanding.
In our modern situation of Lobbyists, there are much more complicated things like business negotiation, professional know-how for technology forecasting, accounting and evaluation of socio-economical impact factors, the arts of putting issues on political procedure, etc. but they are mostly based on the human meeting of face-to-face contact.
The RTD institutions in EU are sending the experts for business negotiations to Brussels, Strasburg and other important international commissions. The experts gather near to parliament or government houses and they form the network of "Cabinet of Experts/Consultant". They analyse and examine the industrial demand, sometimes the demand from the consumers, and they push the solution of the problem to the decision makers.
Nowadays, thiese human contacts remain still essential and most important for decision making, especially when the public protestation meets with mass media and the voice reached to the alternation of the decision makers. Although, in a different way, the lobbyist and consultants have developed a more efficient method of communication thanks to Internet technology, which appears very often as a SIG (Special Interest Group) management specifying the debate argue.

4. New Knowledge Management Tools of Science Communication and Euro Lobbying for the knowledge society.
In the course of evolutionary use of internet tools for communicating each others among the SIGs, they have used e-mails, mailing lists, home pages and web edition has become a de facto standard for exchanging communication as quickly as possible among the advanced steak holders.
This technological change in communication is still moving forward, allowing the high mutual interaction of debate and discussion and also intensive archive capacity. This brings the change in human behaviour in organizing the group discussions, management of human ability in a sense of semi-collective/semi-personal behaviour, which is no more less than the linkage to linkage among the expression of ideas and discourses on the theme.
Here the communication style is depending completely on digital formulation, namely, the application tools of software which regroup the debates and discussion on the Social Network Services (SNS).
The European Lobbyists groups have already appeared on some SNS, Facebook is such a popular reputation for younger generation interested socio-political movement in Europe, but not only them, the major public Party like French UMP is going Cyber for enlarging the popular supports of the political initiative.
I focus here the usage of SIG/SNS by the lobbyist groups for reorganizing the social movement which tends to attract the younger generation for suggesting the new direction of future communication on the Internet.

5. Generalized Form of KMT in 21st Century's civil society
The civil society, in the meaning of sociological object, stayed long time as a "silent majority", however does not exist anymore in any anonymous form for contemporary human beings, they are obliged to appear accompanying the form of SIG/SNS to the public, and the marvellous fact is, they are rapidly growing and appearing on the real world same as in cyber world (e-world). Cyber world, contrary to its profane use of the words, is getting more popular and effective in the sense of making public opinions appealing to the decisional process of politics.
The reason why the e-world is getting rigid popularity, is the usage of Internet Technology Web 2.0. This technology permits, traditionally in market sectors, the silent consumer to be active in communicating their products-consumption, and hence make them more visible on the network actors.
The Euro Lobbyists nowadays depend largely on the Web 2.0 communication tools for treating the debate issues on the public discussions. It includes not only for understanding but also marketing and negotiation process for professional objectives [8].
On the other hand, lay person in civil society have also accumulated the knowledge by this internet communication tools, they begin to put their arguments, and even demonstration of their alternative proposal on the internet plat forms common to the specialists and non specialists.
We have admitted diffusion theory of communication as a way of proliferation of scientific and technological discoveries, but in our post modern age, the Lobbying activity is facing to the criteria highly motivated by the transparency and context depended solution by knowledge concentrated communication.
The knowledge society in real and cyber world is much more intensive in investing this knowledge concentrated communication, which is considered to be also a high value added society, the most typical case is the investment in Open Source Ware, often know with a connotation to open innovation, represented Web 3.0 technology and it can be realized by Open University on Internet [10].
By using these Web 2.0 technology and more, the debate on scientific discourses will be empowered further, where the knowledge elitists in Europe would without any ambiguity focus on the specific determination of technology choice in the marketing.

Creation of Lobbying with Trans-Research

2008-01-30T18:08:00.000-08:00

Creation of Lobbying with Trans-Research

so, it is time to creat the next entrance stage from Trans-Research.

1) Lobbying with Trans-Research
2) Social Technology Consulting with Trans-Research
3) Open Learning Initiative with Trans-Research

For this, on may need the referencial discussion groups, and I found many discussion groups on Facebook. Let's see the groups below, in fact, these are the special interest groups for Lobbying near to the EU Commission (Brussels) and EU Parliament (Strassbourg).

The entrace of phase II from SciCom to Trans Research

2008-01-10T06:28:00.000-08:00

# I have created the entrance of step II for incubating the Science Communication to Trans Resarch Coordination.

1. Science Communication Japan
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=20112961136

Our mission is to bring the Science Communication activity in world wide propagation.We share the passion and know-hows for Trans Research Cordination starting from Science Communication and Vulgarization, Research Communication to raising Fund and/or Lobbying activities for Research & Society. This group SciCom Japan is incubated from several discussion groups in Japan.
http://trans-research.blogspot.com/
http://www.scicom.jp/
http://scicom.s4.bizhat.com/
http://scicomjp.blog.com/

The over all discussion and discussions should be centred on the forum site
http://scicom.s4.bizhat.com/

2. A group for Moving Around Research Inc. - Using CEDEFOP/Training Village.
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=9651886907

Our mission is to propagate the concept of Moving Around Research Inc. to the world wide ranged human activity and to bring the creative mobility to the people for the Sustainable Earth of the 21th Century. Please join us and enjoy the group.

Well, the naming of 2. is not just fitted, maybe while some consideration after, it would be changed, but the concept remains the same.

This entrance is still under development, where many different approaches in different languages are needed. So, I set the lifting procedures which can be developped by using the distance learning methode. See below ;

The Phase One ended up for internal incubation

2008-01-03T05:55:00.000-08:00

The Phase One has ended up for internal incubation. I have finished the knowledge transfert process of Science Communication to the Trans Research Coordination.
The Science Communication itself has many interdisciplinary branches and connection styles to the other proper disciplines. I call it, "Applicational Science Communication" which anyone can practice and shave the know-hows depending on the reality of Science, Technology and Society.

My role in the Phase One was, to articulate the fondamental philosophy and thoughts for starting the Science Communication. It means, to develope the essential theory and frame work of the activity of Science Communication.

In my view, the Science Commuincation is connected very naturally to the concept of "Trans Research", this mention is also very often argumented from the side of STS researchers, but not only in the sense of Research Policy, it is very fundamental, to view the harmoney of Science Technology with the Social Science and Humanity.

It belongs, may be a little bit poetically, to the harmonious vision of the human kind, a Poet, that the human kind has rediscovered the unity of the knowledge from the collapsing old era at the Renaissance age.

I do not know yet, to what extent I can go, but for the moment, I like to explore this way, to try to rediscover the human dignity of our knowledges, where it may go, I will follow the way. It does not mean that I forget the SciCom, I appreciate their activities very much.

So, we will have chance for sure, in other style of communication, in other countries, may be in other approaches, and I hope we can exchange the ideas what so ever where we meet us.

Have good time, eveybody in SciCom.

Building Groups for Science Communication in SNS all over the world

2008-01-01T18:38:00.000-08:00

Super, I found many groups and discussion communities for Science Communication on different SNS site. Among those, I found [facebook] is most credible for information quality and group building, next to this, [orkut] from Brazil is not bad, and [vkontakte] from Russia is also my findings. Of course, on japanese SNS [mixi] MIXI.jp, there exists already such communities.

I created a group "Science Communication Japan" on [facebook].

SciCom to Trans Research
http://scicomjp.blog.com/

This is my personal blog concerning the Japanese Science Communication, which is in fact incubated from the discussions done in other SNS Research Problems (for closed use only)
http://scicom-research.grouptube.jp/

The discussed thema are very wide from journal information on scientific community to research system problems in public institutions, but I have concentrated on the topoics for Science Technology Policy and related NPO management.

Starting from this existing trace to the discussion, I develope the forum site to incubate the Trans-disciplinary Research.

2007 Election House of Councillors and S&T Policy Analysis

2007-06-14T22:12:00.000-07:00

Here is interesting remarks from Japan Times ;

“… many government initiatives actively prevent the integration of foreign scientists into the Japanese research and university environments.”

By the way, does anybody among you have interest to analyse the “Japanese Manifest on Science & Technology Policy” ?

Next July, the national election for the House of Councillors is soon comming.

Japanese system stifles foreign scientific talent Stark options mean researchers forced to head elsewhere, says Peter Osborne (Japan Times)

By PETER OSBORNE

Left unchecked, Japan’s aging population and decreasing birthrate will reduce domestic economic productivity and, ultimately, affect the quality of life of all those who inhabit these islands.

.....

The internationalization of the Japanese workforce is occurring slowly in some fields of employment, particularly in the service and blue-collar industries. However, another key part of the solution to the problem of an aging population is the employment and integration of highly skilled foreign professionals into Japanese society.
Take scientists, a group about which I have first-hand experience. Today, scientific advancements are rarely attributed to the work of a lone researcher. .....
The Japanese domestic research environment, however, remains far from diverse. The numbers of both female and foreign scientists employed at Japanese universities are “extremely low” relative to other member countries of the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe), the government admits (see job.yomiuri.co.jp/news/jo_ne_05041103.cfm ). However, despite the government’s statements to the contrary, many government initiatives actively prevent the integration of foreign scientists into the Japanese research and university environments. .....

Prof. Dr. Edward A, Jones, invited program coordinator of Fulbright Memorial Foundation in Japan, is working actually for the program coordination for the exchange of Science communication between Japan and United States. He has installed his office at Information Society Research Instutite at Tama University and his office is entitled Research Development Organization MTP (Master Teacher Program).
http://www.fulbrightmemorialfund.jp/mtpmain/index.htm

He demonstrates his program of Science Communication already launched in US and in Japan, which is to link the platform of Museum - School (University also) cascade network. In japanese side, this network consists of Sendai, Nara and Hiroshima area's sub-structure, the highschool teachers and many students, kids have joined there.

This trial has already gotten a reputated recognition to the people of professional activity of Science Communication, namely, the manager class of National Science Musium of Ueno (Kahaku), National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Nihon Kagaku Mirai-kan).

This time, he has exposed his colloque of this trail project at GLOCOM Conference, "Public Communication to Create Social Knowlege on Science and Sustainablity (*)". He has ucceedingly
gave me a contact message concerning my expose at GLOCOM "The Science Communication Project in Japan - Scienc and Society, an approach of Interdisciplinary Research "
http://www.glocom.org/special_topics/activity_rep/20060616_miyao_platform/index.html

We have discussed on these projects, which apparrently exhibite a mutual complementary aspect of the approach to the social knowledge of science and it's sustainablity and creativity. One way to construct the exchange scheme of science communication of Museu-Educaiton between US-Japan, and another way to reconstruct the social debate by connecting the steakholder of science communication and interdisciplinary research. We are very much satified to find ourselves capable to help each other.

Prof. Dr. Jones is expressing now his interest to enlarge this circle of communication with the help of NPO Science Communication Japan (**), partly to promote his project in next steps, and partly to have a chance to access to the Japanese national program of Science Communication with the budget aid.

(*) Here is an announced resume of his exposed colloque, held 22. Februrary 2007.

"Public Communication to Create Social Knowlege on Science and Sustainablity"

Overview

Increasing global environmental concerns are creating a demand for global responses through treaty regimes and other accommodations. Highly publicized issues, such as global warming, fisheries depletion, whaling, nuclear energy, air and water quality are all being pushed to the fore as problems requiring immediate attention. Japan has been the subject of high levels of criticism in this regard and often has been ineffective in responding to it.

Part of the reason for this lies in the lack of public understanding of the scientific issues involved both in Japan and in other countries. A greater public understanding of both science and the ways in which research results are interpreted is essential for effective policy making and effective international relations. This can be hard to come by given that the publics in developed countries often feel overwhelmed by a deluge of competing claims and counter-claims.

The National Science Foundation in the United States has proposed that museums and other informal science centers can help to remedy this situation by devoting more resources to increasing public understanding of science. The Japan Society for Organizational Learning and the Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Master Teacher Program have adopted this concept in creating communities of practice that will develop "social knowledge cascades."

These activities bring together museums, universities, schools, government agencies, NPOs and others in a process of communication and community building organized around specific thematic events. These events or "cascades" involve a combination of online and offline activities designed to draw attention to, stimulate discussions about and provide learning opportunities regarding a specific topic area.

To date, 185 pairs of schools and affiliated institutions in the United States and Japan have participated in developing this process on a binational basis. It has also provided a basic model for the implementation of UNESCO's Decade of Education for Sustainable Development. The ultimate result should be a "network of practice" linking communities of practice in a process of global creation.

The summary description of the objective (in half page) :
According to the last research meeting of 10. April. 2006, the participating person 3 is trying to give a brief resume for the collaboration outside of NISTEP, concerning the "Digitale Camera and Innovation"

Feedback dialog for the conference resume 23.March.2006

- (Person 3) How do you relate the critical mass of 2003 (in page 9) to the hypothetical market evolution (page 26) ?
= (Person 1) For the point 1: according to me in the future a new type of product will be on the market: smaller, thinner and lined to telecom network. Also the Digital still camera will be produced in others asian countries not in Japan anymore I think.
- (Person 3) My suggestion back grounded of this question is following : It seems to me that the critical Mass of 2003 is caused by the market saturation in one hand, the balance between the product mature and users' needs and capacity (to buy and catch up the new products). But in other hand, inside of this critical mass, the usage of the digital camera as is pronounced in the hypothesis (page 26) is not clearly structured. If once the critical mass has happened to be there, when will it be the recovery of consumer's catch-up to the new products ? When will it be realized the hypothetical market evolution after the recovery of market catch-up, as is pronounced ? These questions are related to the perspective thinking for giving a solution to the critical mass (page 9) and market evolution (page 26). And further more, this critical mass has any sense on the market evolution outside of Japan, for example in China and Asia ? Before talking about the obvious manufacture transfer from Japan to Asia, I would like to imagine how it can be foresighted as an emerging market evolution and technology transfer (Chinese consumer can really profit this product mature ? and if yes, how ? )

- How do you relate the history of camera in France (in page 31-34) to the nowadays R&D system represented by Prof. Berge's VariOptic ? What kind of lessons does it give to the audience ?
= For point 2: France has no camera maker but has an optic industry. Second, Berge background and freedom to choose research topic and do research freely without strong directive from hierarchy. Berge had also a good budget research for all his research that he could have all the equipments necessary to do this one. Lesson to the audience: a very good research environment from all points of view and creativity are the 2 keys for survival.
- I agree with your point, especially on your insight into the background and personal motivation of Prof. Berge. It is possible to relate his internal experience to the invention of VariOptics. I'm also interested why in France the camera assembly manufacture has not developed so much, compared to Germany and USA. My hypothesis to this, is the incapability to catch-up to the Product Knowledge Innovation (Taylor's scientific product management) in the 1990-1920, although the user development of photography has much advanced in France and a small part of optics research industry remains always after a declining period of optical manufacture. This is particular point of French technology and society, as is seen also in the case of super computer usage.

- How do you propose the perspective of Business Model Change (in page 20), or paradigm shif as mentioned, starting from your view of Ecosystem of Digital Imaging (in page 40-41) ?
= For point 3: the model I draw is in the early stage and need improvement with further research.
- My suggestion is following : Ecosystem of Digital Imaging is the typical aspect of our "Information Society". It has happened and matured in Japan. It is true. Beyond this society change, I see the two points : one is the stagnation of the information society because of the people's way of thinking is limited in the socio-cultural factors but not in the technological one. And another is drastic change probably with no rational reason coming from outside of society, for example, massive and radical change affected by Chinese consumers. Ecosystem as you mention is a kind of equilibrated system, but in order to maintain those system, one should propose something for leading the change, and it should be the Business Model. And I see for this, some kind of value added market assessment, and this should be initiated by Japanese market, because she is the only who knows the maturity of market. I imagine for example, the photo-contest (or the photo-blog) in China supported by the camera manufacture, related to the Tourism or social exploration. If it is related to the sociological, anthropological or ethnical aspects, the researcher of SSH can propose many things for the criteria. This is my point of view on the Business Model.

- otherwise, I suggest you the aspect of user participating development, in the area of "technology and design (photographism)", "culture and technology (blog etc)" for University-Industry collaboration, which is very typical in modern research & study.
= For point 4: yes I agree.
- This is exactly the point I introduced to you at the last meeting of 10/April, the Leonard movement implemented in MIT and its competing equivalent program OLATS in France . Please see the attached reference written in Japanese distributed at the meeting. And this is very interesting point, when you foresight this collaboration in next stage, this can be also connected to the business model proposal.

Title :「Science and Society Program in Europe and its related topics」
Lecturer :　Prof. Dr. Haldór STEFENSSON, Science and Society Programme, EMBL
Date ： 12:00 – 14:00, Monday, 10. April. 2006
Place ： Room No. 964-965, 9th Floor, Mitsubishi-buldg. (2-5-2, Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, zip 100-0005)

Lecture contents :
In this talk I will present a number of outreach activities that have developed at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany since the 1990s, its Science and Society Program in particular. The aim of the Science and Society initiative at EMBL is to promote a better and broader understanding of the growing social and cultural relevance of the life sciences. We organize a variety of activities and events where members of our scientific community, scholars from other disciplines as well as members of the public meet to engage in a dialogue.
The life sciences have an enormous potential for further development and practical applications. However, a popular consensus needs to be developed around questions of how to assess and deal with the diverse repercussions of that development. More than ever, there is a need for interdisciplinary dialogue to inspire synthetic insights and a common worldview. The new ways in which science is now being applied for the production of knowledge and economic wealth must be carefully adjusted to public interests and the value system in each society. It is the common responsibility of all, scientists as well as non-scientists, to engage in an ongoing process of carving out a shared understanding of science. Our outreach efforts at the EMBL, that I will present in more details in my talks, are motivated by such concerns.
In the recent policy trends on Science Technology and Society, interdisciplinary approach is more and more emphasized for targeting the socio-economical impact of research and development. Impact as innovation, social value assessment, regulatory behavior, creativity, and also values for Social Science and Humanities ; these are comprehensive quest for "Science and Society". We aim to discuss these points from the view of interdisciplinary coordination in research and development.

Profile of Lecturer :
Prof. Dr. Haldór STEFANSSON is a researcher of Anthropology since his Doctoral Study at University of Paris and Osaka University. He carried out several anthropological fieldworks in Iceland, Greenland, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea. From 1985 to 1998, he has been engaged in several Japanese Universities and Research Institute as a researcher and a professor. Since 1998 up to now, he is assigned to a Professor of Science and Society Program at European Molecular Biology Laboratory. Since then he manifests actively the interdisciplinary approach to molecular biology research and its outreach to the society.

The part below is proposed as a dialog by person 2
In the recent policy research on STS activities, interdisciplinary approach is more and more emphasized for targeting the socio-economical impact of research and development. Impact as innovation, social value assessment, regulatory behavior, creativity, and also SSH values ; these are comprehensive quest for "Science and Society". We aim to discuss these points from the view of interdisciplinary coordination in research and development.

* STS (Science, Technology and Society) * SSH (Social Science and Humanities)
Texts in blue are added by Person 2.

The provisional dialog from NISTEP
- EMBL is one of the Large Facility of Science and Technology (EIRO) and Basic Research based on EU funds, is this more and more growing ?
- In EU, there are other large facility (big institution, like CERN, ESO, ESRF, ILL, ESDF), how do you find your position in this frame, and also in FP6 ?
- Recently EU DG Research & Innovation is launching the "Science & Society" program, how do you relate your activity to it ?
- In the recommendation of this program (S&S), interdisciplinary approach is emphasized, how to you estimate this approach in your practice ?
- Outside of EIRO, there is a social concern (principle of precaution, citizen involved research agenda, co-evolution of technology and society) to the technology innovation, how do your activity respond to this ?
- How do you (pre)evaluate the EU's policy for SSH implication in RTD (document **), according to you Lab ?
- How do you tell us the Germany's atmosphere of "Science and Society" compared to other countries ?

(**) European Research Advisory Board, The Social Sciences and the Humanities in the 7th Framework Program

Follow up of colloque MFJ

2006-03-22T16:47:00.000-08:00

The report of the activities (1-2 pages, to be filled) :

Dr. Urashima and Mme Yokoo have presented the 3rd Basic Frame Work (Slide Handout) and the reports (*) of Socio-Economical Impact Benchmark Test. The person 2, Shingo Hamada, has introduced the documents (**) and proposed the discussion.

(*) NISTEP REPORT No. 99 “Comprehensive Analysis of Science and Technology Benchmarking Foresight”.

(**) European Research Advisory Board, “The Social Sciences and the Humanities in the 7^th Framework Program”

Being demanded to Prof. Rieu to fulfill his summary.

According to this explanation, the person 2 is focusing the argument points below.

- The concept of “Science and Society” seen in the report (*) is completely different of those seen in the report (**), and we ask how and why this difference appears.

- The data on the report (*) are of highly precision, is this high precision necessary in what scale and in which level of activities ? (Asian region, National region, EU-Japan ? )

- The precision of European Data (i.e. the social reality) is different, but in which way ? Is this coming from the innovation to society, or from the technology itself ?

- To develop the idea of European Program implementing the SSH in RTD, in the “Knowledge Society” proposed by Prof. Rieu, a few recommendation item from EURAB (*) should be satisfied, i.e. to make some parts of SSH effective to Technology Assessment, Citizen Participation Innovation, and Research Study on Foresight. How do you (EU programme) develop this point ?

- Suggesting that the extensive study on the report (*) is so effective to bridge the proposal of collaboration to NISTEP, hence the Japanese Watcher of European Science Technology (like JETRO or JST) are effectively integrated to observe these points in European countries ? and vice-verse ?

A project of Science Café Communication
Revised 　30/11/2004
What does Science mean to you ? What does Science and Technology mean to every day life of citizens ? Who are “doing” the Science and Technology ? Don’t you have question and interrogation like this ? You find the actors and impacts of Science and Technology very near to your daily life, and that they support the society in your neighborhood ? otherwise your find them very troublesome ? In order to ask and respond to these questions, the project “Science Café Communication” will engage in every kind of investigation, research and consulting in social meeting.
In this project, as well as our sister project of “Science Communication and Writing for Citizens” brought by Science Communication Japan (NPO), we propose you to offer the occasion of public debate reviewing and rethinking the role and various aspects of Science and Technology seen from the different position. We intend to invite the specialists and stakeholders in research and development, who come to Japan from abroad for doing the various activities in University, research institutions and enterprises. This public debate will be done in the form of “Science Café” so please feel free to exchange your opinions and to join in the series of intervention.
In addition, this café talk place for common language in English, some of you may be inspired to develop your capacity of scientific debate in English, to promote your language competence and expressions in writing papers and presentations. We are pleased to offer you, after every session of café debate, an occasion of co-learning of the concept of “Science, Technology and Society”. For verifying this term we strongly recommend you to browse the site of EURO SCIENCE and enjoy to refer to the pages of public involvement in Science and Technology. http://www.esof2004.org/
