Scope (Session Description) There is a wide range of research, however, the expectations for "research that meets the needs of society" have been rising. In JpGU2022, conveners conducted a post-session questionnaire survey and got the following results: a) connecting science and society (CSS) is necessary, b) researchers are the main actors of CSS, but c) the lack of time and costs to do CSS, and the proper evaluation on scientific achievements are the issues. Conveners discussed these issues at JpGU2023, and the questionnaire survey conducted again. The results prevailed that 1) science communicators, universities and research institutes, and elementary, middle and high schools are the main stakeholders, 2) establishment of financial support and organization dedicated to CSS activities, and 3) clarification of evaluation (indexing and quantification) of CSS activities will help to resolve issues. In this session, we will discuss the ideal state of CSS, consider the direction of building a collaborative frame with stakeholders, and evaluating the scientific performance of activities, based on overseas case reports and a panel discussion.
