Chapter 2. Improvement and Expansion of the Basis of Scientific Research
3 Training and Securing of Researchers
Scientific research is conducted on the basis or the intellectual
activities of researchers. Therefore, the training and securing of researchers
is most important for strengthening the basis of scientific research and for
its further development. Since universities and other institutions of scientific
research are also functioning as organs for the training of researchers, to secure
able staff in these institutions is a critical factor for the training of researchers
in various fields of science, and consequently for the maintenance and enhancement
of the research level of Japan at large.
It is especially important to focus on the development of young
researchers, who will be expected to form the nucleus of scientific research
in the future. These young researchers are not only responsible for today's research,
but they are also charged with developing their potentials for bringing forth
pioneering research and flexible new concepts. Therefore, the training and securing
of talented young researchers is one of the most important issues in the development
of scientific research.
