COVER STORY
Globally Active Japanese Researchers |
| With the rapid progress of globalization in research and development, many
Japanese researchers have acquired permanent positions and flourished in
foreign universities, institutes and companies. We should recognize the
pioneers who crossed the sea, while remaining a long way from affluence,
and have achieved the present status as a consequence of their worthwhile
efforts. This special issue presents messages and/ or reminiscences from
thirteen globally active Japanese researchers in industry and academia
with a focus on their trigger, incentive and motivation for which they
decided to reside overseas. These reports of sometimes roller-coaster research
lifes, success stories and making their scientific fortunes by staying
in foreign countries, will hopefully provide an opportunity to take another
good look at the globalization for the SPSJ members, in particular, for
young researchers in Japan.
