Round-table talk : “Monozukuri” (manufacturing) of Japan and synthesiology−62−Synthesiology - English edition Vol.4 No.1 (2011) NariaiWhen looking through Synthesiology, I felt AIST has done quite a few useful researches. It is important to think about the world of a globalized society and the developing countries, in order to grasp the social needs. The countries with certain technology will compete and the one with superior technology will win. To prepare for such competition, it is sometimes necessary to reform the conventional Japanese system and perhaps to change the consciousness of the Japanese people.I heard the terminologies Type 2 Basic Research and Full Research for the first time, but I’ve always been concerned about technological development. As for my expectations for Synthesiology, I look forward to the new issues of the journal on this matter. AIST proposes an important methodology in today’s advanced technological society. I hope this will spread to wide-ranging fields, not just within the researches at AIST. It will help train human resources to get the researchers to think widely and deeply about practical research, as Dr. Tsuge mentioned. The discussions are especially very valuable and interesting. This should be carried on so editors can be trained. I hope this will lead to the training of program managers and research coordinators in Japan.YabeTo bring out Japan’s strength from synthesis and to point the direction the world should take; I think these are the important roles of synthesiology. The ideas transmitted as synthesiology must be organized and then re-organized from the perspective of design science. By transmitting the importance, we would like to lead the world. I think that is important for the future of Japan. Thank you very much.(This round-table talk was held at AIST Akihabara Office in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo on September 6, 2010.)
