The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), its Bonn Office, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation are jointly organizing a Japan-Germany symposium entitled 'Basic Research in Japan and Germany'.
In many industrialized countries the role and the importance of basic research is under discussion. The question is whether the emphasis should be shifted from basic research to applied research in order to speed up innovation and technological development in industry.
We believe it is useful to reassess the role and 'raison d'être' of basic research. It is the purpose of this symposium to address these issues from various angles and to compare the situation surrounding basic research in the two countries.
