DESCRIPTION

The paper was presented at a symposium in AAAS annual meeting entitled as DESGIN THINKING TO MOBILIZE SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION FOR SOCIAL CHALLENGES Organized by JST-RISTEX (Japan) Sunday, February 20, 2011 Time: 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM Walter E. Washington Convention Center, 159AB AGENDA The aim of this symposium is to highlight the innovative approaches towards address social challenges. There has been growing interest in promoting “social innovation” to imbed innovation in the wider economy by fostering opportunities for new actors, such as non-profit foundations, to steer research and collaborate with firms and entrepreneurs and to tackle social challenges. User and consumers are also relevant as they play an important role in demanding innovation for social goals but also as actors and suppliers of solutions. Although the innovation process is now much more open and receptive to social influences, progress on social innovation will call for the greater involvement of stakeholders who can mobilize science, technology and innovation to address social challenges. Thus, the session requires to be approached from holistic and multidisciplinary mind and needs to cover the issue from different aspects by seven international speakers. 8:30-8:35 Welcome and Opening Dr. Yuko Harayama, Deputy Director of the OECD’s Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry (DSTI) (moderator) 8:35-9:20 Session 1: Putting ‘design thinking’ into practice Dr. Karabi Acharya, ScD Change Leader, Ashoka, USA  Systemic Change to Achieve Environmental Impact and Sustainability Mr. Tateo Arimoto, Director-General, JST-RISTEX (Co-organiser and Host).

Outline of Our R&D Program

Applicants are requested to1) organize collaborations among social/humanity and natural/engineering sciences,

2) organize collaborations among academia, local government, citizens and other stakeholders3) submit a unique proposal with sociotechnicalscenario,4) submit a quantitative estimation of GHG reduction effect of the proposal

Period: 2008-2013Categories:

I: Fundamental R&D <<¥10M/y

II: w/ Social Experiments <¥30M/y

Page 18: 110218 AAAS2011 Socio technical routes necessary for saving the society from energy environment crisis

The program tackles the issues of:,,,

1. Trans-sectoral cooperation-both in government and academia

2. Equal partnership among local people, government, industry and academia

3. Appropriate technical challenges harmonized with social actions

4. Practical and profitable approaches

Rather than qualitative, ethical and enlightening approaches

5. Trans-sectoral & regional target settings
