Abstract
The Council for Science, Technology, and Innovation in the Cabinet Office steers Japan’s overall research and development (R&D) policy. This includes the information and communication technology (ICT) field which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (hereinafter referred to as MIC). The Council is headed up by the Prime Minister, with six Cabinet ministers as members, including the MIC, and an additional eight expert members representing academia and industry. Related government ministries plan and execute specific R&D policies based on the current 5th Science and Technology Basic Plan (spanning five years from 2016 through to 2020) created by the Council and approved by the Cabinet in January 2016.
