科学リテラシー、情報リテラシー、メディアリテラシーなど、リテラシーという言葉をよく耳にするようになりました。リテラシーとは「対象を的確に理解し表現する能力」を意味します。学会を取り巻く状況が大きく変化しているいま、我々に必要なのは「学会リテラシー」なるものの養成なのかも知れません。研究者同士の新たな繋がりや、横断的な学術領域の開拓などは学会の重要な存在意義の一つです。このような目的のための手段として、上手に学会を使いこなすリテラシーについて考えていく所存です。そして、本会がその期待に応えることができる学会になるよう微力ながら尽力していきます。

We often hear the word "literacy," such as scientific literacy, information literacy, and media literacy. Literacy means the ability to understand and express a subject accurately. As the situation surrounding academic world is changing drastically, we may need to develop "academic institute literacy. " Important reasons for the existence of academic institute include new connections among researchers and the development of cross-disciplinary academic fields. I will try to think about the literacy to make good use of academic institute as a means to achieve these goals. I will do my best to make IEICE live up to those expectations.
He graduated from the Department of Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo in 1992, and completed the doctoral course in Electronic Engineering at University of Tokyo in 1997. After working as an assistant professor, lecturer, and associate professor, he has been a full professor at the University of Tokyo since 2013. Currently, he is a professor at the Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies and the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, the University of Tokyo. During this period, he was a visiting assistant professor at Stanford University, USA from 2000 to 2002. He has been engaged in research in the fields of virtual reality and human interface. He has served as Chairman of the Steering Committee of the Human Communication Group of IEICE, Director of the Virtual Reality Society of Japan, and Director of the Institute of Image Information and Television Engineers. He is a Fellow of the Japan Federation of Engineering Societies.
