STS forum: Fundamental Concept (1) This forum aims to provide a new mechanism for open discussions on an informal basis, and to build a community that would, in time, resolve new types of problems stemming from the application of science and technology.
STS forum; Fundamental Concept (2) ✯ 20 th century’s progress of Science & Technology ➣ Brought prosperity and enriched the quality of life for much mankind. ➣ However, benefits are not reaching a major part of the world’s people. ➣ Advance of science and technology raises important issues; - increasingly complex in context of the globalized world, - beyond the control of any single country, - beyond the reach of the scientific community alone, - benefit sometimes turns into evils (e. g. ) - harmonizing economic development with global warming, - preventing terrorism, - controlling infectious diseases, - assessing the potential health benefits and ethical factors related to human cloning technology, etc…
STS forum; Fundamental Concept (3) ✯ 21 st century’s progress of Science & Technology ➣ expected to accelerate and be required to provide for sustainable human development ! The Time has come for not only academicians and researchers but also legislators, business people and journalists from all over the world to meet and discuss science and technology issues. Science and Technology in Society Forum (STS forum) Multi-national, multi-stakeholder approach is indispensable. The leaders of scientist, politician, businessman in the world meet and discuss crucial matters for the future of humankind.
