TAYANAGI, Emiko Specially Appointed Professor

Research Projects

"Knowledge science" is an interdisciplinary field encompassing information science, cognitive science, and social science.1990 1990 This is a relatively new field that was established in the 20th century. Within this field, my specialization lies in the area of ​​knowledge society systems theory, which connects society and humanity. I research the nature of individuals/groups/organizations, the nature of regions and communities, and the role of science and technology in today's social environment, often referred to as the information society and knowledge society. Specifically, I am working on the following research themes:

• International Comparison of Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration Policies, Regional Innovation (2001-)
• Science communication in universities and research institutions (2004-)
• Technical ethics, engineer ethics education (2009-)
• Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the Science and Technology Field (2009-)
• Music and Creative Cognition (2009-)
• Musical mastery (2012-)
• The Social Theory of Smart Cities (2012-)

The appeal of research

If the "information society" is a society in which information is digitized and transmitted and shared, then the "knowledge society" is a society built upon the foundation of the information society, in which humans (or artifacts and social environments) are constantly interacting with each other through open networks, and the possibilities of intellectual activity are amplified and expanded.

Humans can now collect and utilize information that is abundant in society and disseminated by others in real time, not just the knowledge they have accumulated in their own minds, as if it were their own. Information that was previously only accessible to a select few, such as experts and journalists, can now be easily accessed by the general public, and anyone can now share their own knowledge and opinions with people all over the world.

Knowledge has now become a right for all people, a driving force that greatly expands, or even shakes, the potential of individuals and society. New knowledge-based technological transformations, such as smart cities and big data, enable problem-solving in unprecedented ways, but as the world becomes connected by knowledge, conflicts over religion, ethnicity, ideology, poverty, and economic inequality are also likely to become more pronounced and intensify.

Grasping both the positive and negative aspects of this knowledge society, analyzing its value, and connecting it to the design of future society is the academic and social contribution, mission, and appeal of knowledge science.

Achievements

For nearly 20 years before becoming a university professor, I worked primarily as a freelancer, involved in PR and publishing planning and production in the science and technology fields, as well as consulting on research evaluation and research planning. My long career in "communicating research" is now being utilized in my current work at the Social Collaboration Center, where I connect universities with society, as well as in my own research activities.

2000 2000 In my twenties, in order to develop my professional career into academic research, I conducted research on regional industry-academia-government collaboration and technology transfer in Europe and Japan, as well as research on science communication in research organizations. I have frequently presented the results of this research at prestigious international conferences such as the European Organizational Society (EGOS) and the Society for Science, Technology and Public Communication (PCST). Subsequently, I have engaged in research activities in regional innovation, cognitive sociology, cognitive music sociology, and engineering ethics education, and have published research papers in journals such as "Regional Policy Studies," "Cognitive Science," and "Journal of the Japan Society for Business Ethics."

Meanwhile, he has also been involved in policy advocacy activities, serving as an editorial board member for the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration Journal, a technical committee member for the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), and an advisory committee member for the Hyogo Prefectural Science and Technology Council. After being assigned to Hakodate, he has been involved in activities to deepen understanding of science and technology in the community, such as the Hakodate International Science Festival and the Hakodate Science Terakoya (a local private school). Currently, he is involved in the organizing committee for the "Onuma Jazz Festival," which is held annually in the nearby Onuma Quasi-National Park, and in the activities of the "Machi de Seminar," a series of community lectures.
