基礎・境界ソサイエティは、電子情報通信における基礎分野あるいは境界分野の研究の発展に加え、他のソサイエティではカバーできない新分野の開拓に貢献してきました。そのため、活動方針やソサイエティへのスタンスの異なる多数の研究会が共存しています。一方、新規分野の開拓や発展の為には、学生や若手の育成を通じたソサイエティの活性化やグローバル化が重要であるという点で全ての研究会は一致しています。そこで、様々な考え方を持つ各サブソや研究会がより自由に活動や新規分野の開拓ができるような柔軟な体制作りを進めると共に、ソサイエティの活性化やグローバル化への取り組みについて皆様と考えて行いたいと存じます。

ESS (Engineering Science Society) has been contributing to fundamental and/or interdisciplinary researches in electronics, information and communication engineering, and also contributing to creation of new research fields which cannot be covered by other societies. To this end, there are so many subsocieties and technical committees in ESS which have various action policies and different stances to ESS. On the other hand, in order to create and develop new fields, all technical committees agree that activation and globalization of ESS by nurturing young researchers and students is a common important issue. I would like to develop a flexible management system in ESS which will support various activities as well as developments of new fields in the subsocieties and technical committees. I also would like to tackle the common important issue, that is, activation and globalization of ESS with all the members of ESS.
