INTRODUCTION SCIENCE AND INNOVATION -- OPEN TO THE WORLD EU support for research and innovation encourages cooperation between research teams across countries and disciplines that is vital in making breakthrough discoveries. It allows the EU to deliver on priorities such as the Paris Agreement on climate change. Building on the success of the EU’s past flagship research and innovation programmes, the Commission proposed in early May 2018 to increase investment in research and innovation by allocating €114.8 billion from the future long-term EU budget for the years 2021-2027. This includes “Horizon Europe” which, with a budget of €97.9 billion, will be the biggest ever research and innovation funding programme. It is designed around three pillars: the Open Science pillar, the Global Challenges pillar, and the Open Innovation Pillar. The Open Science pillar supports researchers through fellowships and exchanges as well as funding to projects defined and driven by researchers themselves, through the European Research Council and the Marie- Skłodowska-Curie actions. The Global challenges pillar directly supports research relating to societal challenges, setting EU-wide missions with ambitious goals around issues that worry us daily such as such as the fight against cancer, clean mobility and plastic-free oceans. Industrial leadership will be prominent within this pillar and throughout the programme as a whole. The Open Innovation pillar aims to make Europe a front runner in market- creating innovation. A European Innovation Council will offer a one-stop shop for high potential and breakthrough technologies and innovative companies with potential for scaling up. The present conference, jointly organised by the European Parliament’s Industry, Research, and Energy (ITRE) Committee, the Science and Technology Options Assessment (STOA) Panel and the Japan-based Science and Technology in Society forum (STS forum), aims to promote the dialogue between industry, society and policy- makers from Japan and Europe, towards shared vision of the opportunities and challenges of promoting international cooperation in science and innovation. After the opening session on “Horizon Europe and International Cooperation”, a first panel will discuss major challenges faced by humankind and how to tackle them through internationally-coordinated research efforts, while the second panel will focus on examples how curiosity-driven research can contribute to future scientific breakthroughs. 4 2.

ABOUT THE STS FORUM Science and Technology in Society forum: Lights and Shadows The explosive progress of science and technology up to the 20th century brought prosperity and enriched the quality of life for much of mankind. However, the advance of science and technology raises important ethical, safety and environmental issues: possible negative applications are threatening mankind’s own future. Since progress in science and technology is expected to accelerate and will be necessary for sustainable human development in the 21st century, wisdom must be exercised to keep it under proper control. In that sense, the most pressing problems we face today include harmonising economic development with global warming; preventing terrorism; controlling infectious diseases; and assessing the potential health benefits and ethical factors relating to cloning technology. International efforts to address these problems are needed now more than ever. This is really what symbolises the 'lights and shadows of science and technology'. Opportunities need to be taken, but the risks must also be controlled. Health, meeting energy needs, and many other aspects of human welfare are dependent on continued progress in science and technology. At the same time, the benefits of science and technology are not reaching a major part of the world’s people. The barriers to seizing the opportunities for using science and technology to solve the problems of humankind need to be discussed. Because the problems we face today are becoming increasingly complex against the backdrop of globalisation and international competition, they are beyond the control of any single country. These issues are also beyond the control of the scientific community alone, because many of the problems will find solutions through changes in social systems, international collaboration, global networks, and the building of common rules. The time has come for not only scholars and researchers, but also policy-makers, business leaders and media leaders from all over the world to meet and discuss science and technology issues in the 21st century. The Science and Technology in Society (STS) forum aims to provide a new mechanism for open discussions on an informal basis, and to build a human network that would, in time, resolve the new types of problems stemming from the application of science and technology. The forum community will also explore the opportunities arising 7 from science and technology, and address how to remove the barriers to using science and technology to solve the problems facing humankind. Forum members are expected to participate, not as representatives of their country or organisation, but as individuals expressing their own views. This forum is not necessarily a platform for specialists to unilaterally convey their knowledge, but rather an opportunity for real dialogue among peers. Participants should also undertake cross-border activities towards the establishment of shared values and commitment for the future. The STS forum has been founded and chaired by the former Japanese Minister Koji OMI. More information is available on www.stsforum.org. 8 4. ABOUT STOA 4.1.
