Ch.01 Zoom Room 01
convener:Nobuko Saigusa(National Institute for Environmental Studies), Takuji Nakamura(National Institute of Polar Research), Shigeko Haruyama(Mie University .Emeritus Prof.), Eiichi Tajika(Department of Earth and Planetary Science, Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo), Chairperson:Takuji Nakamura(National Institute of Polar Research), Nobuko Saigusa(National Institute for Environmental Studies)
The Science Council of Japan (SCJ) joins 46 international scientific organizations, including the International Science Council (ISC), as the representative organization of Japan for the promotion of science in cooperation with the global academic community. The SCJ supports 12 organizations in the field of earth and planetary sciences by providing financial contributions and dispatching representatives to the scientific steering committee, where long-term visions and research plans are discussed with the aim of pursuing the truth and realizing global sustainability. The SCJ also supports promotion of young scientists and international research exchanges. This session covers the 12 international organizations with the latest achievements and prospects in one hour and discusses the promotion of future international activities through the SCJ.
