(7) Announcement and survey request from Union Session

Thank you for your attendance for JpGU2023 U-07 session and the
Request from Conveners

Union Session U-07 “What is the true value of knowledge creation?
Our perceptions of science and society” (Conveners: Michiyo Shimamura,
Yuko Onishi, Brooks Hanson and Raj Pandya), conducted oral, e-poster
and on-site poster sessions on Friday May 26th, 2023 as planned.
We, conveners appreciate for your attendance!

The streaming of U-07 oral session is now available! Please watch
the video, if you missed it. Due to the streaming of U-07 session,
we extended the deadline of the questionnaire survey related to the
session as follows.

Closing date of this survey [extended]: Monday, July 31, 2023
U07 questionnaire in Japanese:
https://forms.gle/6ZWxhVT3FzkbCaxH9
U07 questionnaire in English:
https://forms.gle/SBKREoHM8jAeiXBb6

Please give us 10 minutes of your time! We would appreciate your
cooperation in filling out the questionnaire.

Details of the questionnaire survey:
In our previous session at JpGU 2022, U-04, a questionnaire survey
was conducted after the session to find out what exactly the members
of the JpGU community consider to be “responding to society’s mandate”
and what kind of activities they are actually engaged in to “respond
to society’s mandate”.

As a result, the following responses were obtained:
(1) more than 90% of the survey respondents answered that “connecting
science and society” is necessary, (2) researchers are the main actors
connecting science and society, but (3) the lack of resources (time
and costs) to “connect science and society” and proper evaluation on
scientific achievements are the issues.
The purpose of this survey is to find out how JpGU community members,
together with their stakeholders, are aware of the need to build a
more effective framework for “connecting science and society” and
how to connect these activities to the evaluation of scientific
performance. We will consider sharing the results of this survey with
those who cooperated with us at a later date.
