Engaging Society in Innovation and Creativity
イノベーション及び創造性への社会の関与
Perspectives from Social Sciences and Humanities
人文社会科学の視座より
Published on Thursday, May 28, 2015
Abstract
The trend of change from science and technology policy to science, technology and innovation (STI) policy becomes remarkable in Japan but also in Europe. Policymakers intend to break down the sense of economic and social stagnation by creating innovation driven by science and technology. In order to solve complex social issues, innovation is definitely essential. However, it is also obvious that creating “real” innovation needs some other elements than just the development of hard science and technology. Innovation needs integration of knowledge beyond disciplines. Recently the role of social science and humanities (SSH) in the innovation process is being highlighted and science, technology and innovation policy of many countries now expects SSH to play important role in conceiving, realizing and adjusting the policy.

The trend of change from science and technology policy to science, technology and innovation (STI) policy becomes remarkable in Japan but also in Europe. Policymakers intend to break down the sense of economic and social stagnation by creating innovation driven by science and technology. In order to solve complex social issues, innovation is definitely essential. However, it is also obvious that creating “real” innovation needs some other elements than just the development of hard science and technology. Innovation needs integration of knowledge beyond disciplines. Recently the role of social science and humanities (SSH) in the innovation process is being highlighted and science, technology and innovation policy of many countries now expects SSH to play important role in conceiving, realizing and adjusting the policy.
Practical knowledge and involvement of the people is also important to create innovation. As an integration of diverse knowledge, the implementation of “Trans-disciplinary” research is requested to solve social issues in responding to social needs and create innovation that societies expects. “Trans-disciplinary” research requires involvement of non-academic sectors, for the co-design, co-production, co-delivery of research and its results with various stakeholders in society.
In this workshop, French and Japanese researchers mostly from SSH will discuss the role of society and SSH in innovation and creativity.
