Abstract

To tackle global issues in an era of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity the Human and Social Sciences must take action to go beyond interdisciplinary education and research and to seek collaboration with the natural sciences, engineering, medicine, and so on.


To cite Japans new Science, Technology, and Innovation Basic Plan issued in 2021, it will become increasingly important to accumulate knowledge with depth in the humanities and social sciences, and to create and utilize convergence of knowledge that contributes to comprehensive understanding and problem-solving of issues regarding human beings and society through fusion with knowledge in the natural sciences.
