【抱負】
１．研究倫理とコンプライアンスについて
私共は厳しい競争社会で研究と企業活動を余儀なくされています．しかし，研究者としての倫理と企業人としてのコンプライアンス精神の涵養に本学会が先導するよう尽力します．
２．少子高齢化とICTについて
急速な少子高齢化社会の到来により，労働人口の減少や介護の負担は甚大な問題となります．本学会の対象であるICTにより，これらの問題を軽減できるよう微力を尽くします．
３．グローバル化について
帰国した留学生の本学会活動を支援してグローバル化と会員数増加に貢献したいと思います．

We are facing heavy competition in research fields and business activities. The IEICE should take the leading role for ensuring ethics in research and encouraging compliance. I would like to make a serious effort to achieve the activity. On the other hand, ICT, the field of the IEICE, can reduce the problems of labor force shrinking and burden of nursing care that are caused by low birth rate and longevity. I will sustain the researches of ICT to decrease these problems. Also, I would like to support non-Japanese people who studied in Japan and went back to their home countries. This can contribute to the globalization and membership development of the IEICE.
