電子情報通信学会の持続的発展には、国際連携の強化と多様な会員層の参加促進が不可欠です。海外会員数はピーク時の4000名から800名へと大幅に減少し、国内でも人口減少が進む中、従来の枠内の取り組みだけでは学会基盤の維持が難しくなっています。私は企画理事として、「国際ネットワークの再構築」「若手研究者・企業技術者の参加促進」「大会・論文誌・会誌の連動による学会価値向上」の三点を重点施策として推進します。
2024年総合大会では実行委員長としてGlobalNet Workshop を創設し、多様な背景を持つ参加者の国際的交流の場を整えました。また英文誌多言語化アドホック委員として英文5誌の16言語配信を実現し、学会の国際発信力向上に寄与しました。これらの経験は、国際連携の強化と学会活動の多様化を企画面から実行するうえで重要な基盤となっています。
今後は、大会・論文誌・会誌を相互に連動させ、研究発表、教育、国際交流を統合的に推進する新しい学会モデルを構築します。国内外の研究者、技術者、学生が継続して参加しやすい環境を整え、学会の価値を次の世代へ確実につなぐことを目指します。企画理事として、実行可能な施策を着実に進め、学会の発展に貢献してまいります。

The sustainable development of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE) requires strengthened international collaboration and broader participation across diverse membership groups. Overseas membership has declined significantly from its peak of 4,000 to 800, and Japan’s continuing population decrease further challenges the long-term stability of our member base. Under these circumstances, traditional approaches alone are no longer sufficient. As a candidate for Director of Planning, I will focus on three priorities: rebuilding our international networks, promoting participation among young researchers and industry engineers, and enhancing the value of IEICE through stronger integration of conferences and publications.
As General Chair of the 2024 General Conference, I launched the GlobalNet Workshop to foster international exchanges among participants from diverse backgrounds. I also contributed to the multilingual distribution of our five English-language journals in sixteen languages through the Ad-hoc Committee on Multilingualization, strengthening the Society’s global reach. These experiences provide a solid foundation for advancing international engagement and broadening the scope of IEICE activities.
Looking ahead, I aim to establish a new IEICE model that integrates conferences, journals, and magazines to advance research dissemination, education, and international collaboration in a unified manner. By creating an environment in which researchers, engineers, and students from around the world can participate continuously and meaningfully, I will work to ensure that the value of IEICE is carried forward to the next generation. As Director of Planning, I am committed to implementing effective and achievable initiatives that contribute to the future growth of our Society.
