The NISTEP Dictionary of Names of Universities and Public Organizations contains basic information of organizations in Japan that are engaged in R&D. Although the main subjects are higher education institutions (universities, inter-university research institutes, junior colleges, and technical colleges) and public research institutions (e.g., national organizations, national research and development institutes), organizations of local governments, private companies, non-profit organizations and other organizations are also included as much as possible.

The Japanese version of this Dictionary was publicized in December 2012 at first and thereafter has been revised about once a year. This version (ver.2020.1_E) is the first English version derived from the Japanese version “The NISTEP Dictionary of Names of Universities and Public Organizations ver.2020.1.” The Japanese version is available from http://doi.org/10.15108/data_rsorg001_2020_1

In this version in English (ver.2020.1_E), more than 15,000 primary organizations and nearly 4,000 subsidiary organizations are recorded. This dictionary will serve you as a useful information source for grasping and analyzing the actual state of R&D in Japan as well as evaluating its performance at the organization level and at the sector level.

Program（text）

An International Workshop is organized by National Institute of Science and Technology Policy (NISTEP), Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) on 1st March 2018. Those who would like to participate in the workshop should register the name and affiliation using e-mail by 23 February 2018.

Objectives
There are both hope and anxiety to dramatically social changes due to the digitalization such as diffusion of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of things (IoT). In addition, as methodologies for innovation and scientific research activities become “Open” in these days, measures and platforms of science, technology and Innovation (STI) are about to change its’ qualities.

Mr. Dominique Guellec (DSTI-OECD) is invited to the workshop in order to introduce the “Digital Innovation and AI” work of OECD. The workshop is arranged to provide opportunities to think about the trends of social impacts by digitalization from both qualitative and quantitative aspects; i.e. measures in S&T foresight and open science in AI/IoT fields, and metrics for scientific knowledge in AI/IoT fields.

Under the transformation of situations in which science and innovation co-relate synchronically, possible future of STI policies such as industry-academia co-operation and STI policy implications are discussed among the participants.
