This project focuses on science and technology policy in Japan and the role of public administration in the development of Japanese society in the 21st century. Our research is comparative in nature, drawing on both historical and retrospective approaches.

Our goal is to promote research on Japan’s development research environment, which is changing rapidly. We also encourage discussions among industry leaders, government officials, and academics on issues relating to science and technology policy in Japan.

Beginning from this year and in cooperation with researchers from other organizations, we will conduct full-scale research on the history of Japanese science and technology policy. In the 21st century, Japan became one of the leading nations in the science and technology field. To ensure that Japan continues to be a world leader in this field, we need to study Japanese modernization and the implementation of Japan’s science and technology policy after the Meiji period from historical and international perspectives. Under this project, we also conduct research on intellectual property, science and technology policies in Asia, ethics, and the role of technology in society. Our research focuses on the study of effective science and technology policies that have contributed to economic and industrial development as well as helped improve people’s lives.

In 2004, GRIPS inaugurated a Ph.D. program in Science and Technology Policy to prepare government officials, researchers, and managers who can design and implement policies based on expert knowledge and who can work in an international environment.
