The Electronics Society has many technical committees that play important roles in Japan and in the international arena. In our field, there are many competing societies in Japan and elsewhere; in order to achieve more effective globalization, it is important to encourage cooperation with other societies.
To reinvigorate our Society, I propose greater efforts to recruit younger members from Japan and other countries.
I will contribute to resolving the following issues, further globalization, facilitating inter-society activities, cooperation with other scientific institutions, and increased support for younger researchers and women researchers.
