Session_NO.6 Outline

The SciREX Program pursues research on Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) policies, educational programs at 6 Japanese universities, and training for government
administrators. This year, a follow up survey to the current students and the alumni ofthe SciREX programs was conducted. The results illustrated the images of capabilities
that are called for implementing “science for policy.”
Looking ahead for the remaining 5 years of SciREX program, this session will discuss desirable capabilities for
implementing “science for policy” with international experts.
Specifically, this session will focus on the human resources and capabilities needed inJapan to implement STI policies under the transformation to meet social challenges.
Professor Susana Borrás, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark will illustrate desirable"domestic capacity" for implementing STI policies, drawing examples of Green Transformation. This will be followed by Mr. Victor Mulas, Tokyo Development Learning Center, theWorld Bank, who will share cases from both Japanese and overseas that address transformations, such as Smart City Initiatives. The discussion will be moderated by Professor
Michiko Iizuka, National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) in Japan.

Outline
3rd SciREX Open Forum
Commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the SciREX Program“New Development of Science, Technology and Innovation Policies”
The Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) policies are at a turning point. The STI policies now cover theareas beyond the S&T promotion to cope with the societal change brought by the rapid development of digitaltechnologies and include SDGs that try to solve complex and diverse social issues. It is now essential for the STI
polices to have participation by and co-creation with various stakeholders. Most recently, the new corona virus
pandemic posed a number of issues to be shared not only among the experts but also among the public as seenin communication and mutual reliance between policies and science and the importance of evidence-based policy
decisions. The post-corona pandemic days will face new development different from the previous S&T promotion,
human resources development, and the diversity of science community. What are needed for STI policies? How
the relationship between policies and science should evolve? These issues will be discussed from various angles
through the 11 ZOOM seminar sessions of the SciREX Open Forum, including introduction of the domestic andinternational trends surrounding the science policies as well as the activities of the SciREX Program that is being
funded by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).

Schedule
11 seminar sessions will be held between late December 2020 and March 2021 as follows:【1】Theme No.1 is relationship between policy and science;【2】Theme No. 2 EBPM;【3】Theme No.3 Human resources training; and【4】No. 4 Coevolution.
Also, please note that “M” means main sessions organized by the SciREX Center and“P” is for the sessions proposed by the SciREX core centers and related organizations.
