Part 2 - Measures Implemented to Promote Science and Technology
Science and Technology Supported by Society and the Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Pubic
1 Responsible Approaches to Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues in Science and Technology (1) Establishing of a sense of ethics for researchers and engineers In recent years, Japan has faced a situation where misconduct, such as fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism (FFP) of data in research, has been revealed. Such misconduct in scientific research must not be allowed since it goes against the essential qualities of science to create new knowledge through accumulated searches for truth. Misconduct also undermines public trust in science and hinders scientific progress. Following the approval of the Proper Counteractions against Research Misconduct by CSTP in February 2006, CSTP revised the Countermeasures against Misconduct in Research Activities by the Competitive Research Fund (agreement in the Liaison Committee of Ministries and Agencies Concerned with Competitive Funding) in November 2006 to stipulate measures for FFP in research. Thereafter, the establishment of guidelines, reflection in application guidelines, and other measures were promoted among the related ministries and agencies. MEXT established a special committee on research misconduct under CST. In August 2006, the committee finalized guidelines on the systems and rules to be formulated by MEXT, funding agencies, and other research organizations such as universities. The guidelines requested them to implement approaches to misconduct, including establishment of a reception desk for accusations, investigation systems, and formulation of provisions related to the above-stated issues; MEXT established a reception desk for accusations within the ministry in November 2006. In December 2006, MAFF also finalized such guidelines on actions for misconduct in research, requested related organizations to implement approaches to misconduct, and established a reception desk for accusations. In October 2006, SCJ formulated the Code of Conduct for Scientists which specified ethical standards scientists are to observe and the Charter of the Science Council of Japan in April 2008 as an external vow derived from the full will of the Council members.
(2) Efforts in relation to bioethics and safety in the life sciences To adequately deal with problems regarding bioethics that could occur as a result of the rapid growth in the life sciences in recent years, CSTP implements surveys and studies on important issues; MEXT and MHLW review necessary acts, regulations, and guidelines. (Refer to Part 2, Chapter 2, Section 2, 1).

3 Improving Public Awareness concerning S&T In order to create the social community where people are familiar and strongly interested in S&T, it will be important to promote activities to convey S&T in an easy-to-understand manner, such as providing occasions to gain familiarity with S&T and to enhance accountability and information dissemination through dialogues. It will also be important to promote efforts contributing to improving people's basic knowledge and ability regarding S&T.
(1) Efforts to improve basic education regarding S&T (S&T literacy) Specifying knowledge and ability regarding S&T required for an adult person will contribute to raising people's interest in S&T and improving the level of math and science education. To this end, as a joint project of the National Institute for Educational Policy Research of MEXT and SCJ, the idea of S&T literacy (knowledge, technology, and viewpoints regarding S&T expressed in easily understandable texts) was formulated in March 2008 under the extensive cooperation of scientists and engineers, and it has been disseminated by posting on the website (http://www.science-for-all.jp/) and symposiums. In September 2008, SCJ prepared a report Wisdom of Science and Technology for a Prosperous Life in the 21 Century [literal translation].
(2) Fusing S&T with culture and art At the recent suggestion that S&T should contribute not only to material affluence, but to spiritual richness, efforts to fuse S&T with culture or art have been made. Such fusing of S&T with culture or art may result in the creation of new works of art, which contribute to spiritual richness. On the other hand, the encounter has the potential to create new knowledge in the S&T field, such as creation of new, unique technologies. In FY 2008, the technology exhibition “Leading Edge Technology Showcase 2009” and the theme symposium “Japanese Media Arts Supported by Technology” were held as supporting exhibitions at the 12th Japan Media Arts Festival sponsored by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, aiming at providing the opportunity for researchers and creators to meet each other and form new communities. In addition to these, various projects have been promoted in new R&D fields fusing S&T with culture.
(3) Reinforcing and enhancing science museum activities [Operation of the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan)] The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) managed by JST provides exhibitions and explanations to introduce state-of-the-art science in an easily understandable manner, and at the same time, promotes exchange between researchers and the general public through lectures and events. Also, Miraikan has implemented a traveling exhibition service to regional science museums, and fostering of human resources as a core center for activities to promote the understanding of S&T in Japan.

clarified by the latest science", "For the promotion of gender equality in academic fields", and "Vision of Japan approached from environmentology". JAXA implements a variety of different educational activities. Such activities include the Cosmic College and Space School, with the aim of raising interest in S&T in general, including space science among juveniles who will lead the next generation, and to foster children's scientific observational, thinking, and problem-solving abilities. AIST has permanent exhibition facilities, such as the Science Square Tsukuba/Rinkai, Geological Museum, and the JIS Pavilion. In FY 2008, seven facilities were opened to the public with about 11,000 visitors in total. Furthermore, as one of the largest public research institutions in Japan, AIST positively implements Science Communication projects, including the Science Cafe, Experiment Class, and Delivery Lecture, so that the activities will help the public to understand S&T.
(5) Promoting activities for enhancing understanding of S&T in regions JST supports experiment classes, events, and network construction by science museums, universities, local governments, and volunteers to promote regional activities for the understanding of S&T. In addition, through the Children's Dream Fund established in the National Institution for Youth Education, JST subsidizes experimental activities for experiencing science by children organized by private sectors.
(6) Disseminating S&T information to regions across the country JST creates programs that explain S&T in an easy-to-understand manner for the general public, especially for juveniles, focusing on topics related to S&T and S&T used in our everyday lives. These programs are delivered throughout the country via CS broadcast and CATV under the title Science Channel by the National Institution for Youth Education, and the programs are also offered via the internet (http://sc-smn.jst.go.jp). The JST Virtual Science Center (http://jvsc.jst.go.jp) is provided broadly to the public via the internet. This is a program where juveniles can experience various aspects of S&T in an easy-to-understand manner.
(7) Science & Technology Week The 49th Science & Technology Week was held from April 14 to 20, 2008, in cooperation with related organizations, such as experimental research institutions and local governments. During the week, various facilities are open to the public for experiment and manufacturing classes and lectures from related organizations in different locations around the country. In FY 2008, An Evening of Science and Music [literal translation] was held in Yurakucho, Tokyo. Also, Science Cafes were open every day at the lounge of the MEXT information plaza and other locations during the week. This is an occasion for researchers and the general public to talk casually about science and technology over a cup of coffee.
