電子情報通信学会は、これまで学術の発展と技術革新を支え、情報通信分野を中核とする社会基盤の構築に大きく貢献してきました。一方で、技術の急速な進展、社会構造の変化、会員ニーズの多様化を背景に、学会の役割や活動の在り方を不断に見直し、より開かれた形で学術・産業・社会を結びつけていくことが求められています。そのためにも、電子情報通信分野以外の企業等に所属する非会員であっても、研究や技術への関心を契機として気軽に参加できる学会であるべきだと考えます。
私は、学会が有する研究会・大会・国際会議・論文誌等の強みを生かしつつ、分野横断的な研究交流の促進、若手研究者・技術者の育成、国際的な学術連携、ならびに研究成果の社会への還元を一体的に進めることで、学会の価値を次世代へ確実につないでいきたいと考えています。例えば総合大会については、会員に限らず、電子情報通信分野に何らかの関わりをもつジュニア、学生、研究者が集い、相互に刺激を受けられる場として、より一層の充実を図ることが考えられます。会員・非会員を問わず一人一人が参画しやすく、社会からの信頼にも応えられる学会運営に貢献していきたいと考えています。
1984慶大・工・電気卒、1989慶大・理工･博士課程了、工学博士。同年、武蔵工大(現 東京都市大)助手。現在、東京都市大・情報工・教授。本会にて、英文論文誌編集幹事(2001-2002)、SIS研専委員長(2008-2009)、ESS運営委員会庶務幹事(2014-2015)、ESS次期会長(2018）、ESS会長(2019)、総合大会実行委員長(2011)、ソサイエティ大会実行委員長(2017)、副会長（学術強化担当）(2023,2024)を歴任。ESS特別功労賞(2003)、ESS貢献賞(2016)、教育功労賞(2019)などを受賞。本会フェロー。
The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE) has long supported the advancement of academic research and technological innovation, making significant contributions to the development of social infrastructure with information and communications at its core. At the same time, against the backdrop of rapid technological progress, changes in social structures, and the diversification of member needs, the Institute is required to continuously reexamine its roles and modes of activity and to strengthen its function as an open platform that connects academia, industry, and society. For this purpose, I believe that IEICE should be an academic society in which even non-members working in companies or organizations outside the field of electronics, information, and communications can participate with ease, motivated by their interest in research and technology.
By fully leveraging the strengths of technical committees, conferences, and publications, I aim to promote interdisciplinary research exchange, foster the development of young researchers and engineers, advance international academic collaboration, and facilitate the societal dissemination of research outcomes in an integrated manner, thereby ensuring that the value of the Institute is firmly passed on to the next generation. For example, the General Conference could be further enhanced as a forum where not only members but also junior participants, students, and researchers with some connection to the field of electronics, information, and communications can gather and mutually inspire one another. Through these efforts, I seek to contribute to the operation of an academic society that enables participation by both members and non-members alike and continues to earn the trust of society.
Akira Taguchi received his B.E., M.E., and Dr. Eng. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Keio University in 1984, 1986, and 1989, respectively. In 1989, he joined Musashi Institute of Technology (now Tokyo City University), where he currently serves as Vice President. In the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE), he has held various key roles, including Editor of IEICE Transactions on Fundamentals (2001−2002), Chair of the Smart Info-media System (SIS) Technical Committee (2008−2009), President-Elect of the Engineering Sciences Society (ESS) in 2018, President of ESS in 2019, Vice President of IEICE in 2023-2024. He has also chaired the executive committees for the IEICE General Conference in 2011 and the Society Conference in 2017. He is a Fellow of the IEICE.
