Context:

The basic concept of the 21st Annual Meeting of Science and Technology in Society (STS Forum) is to bring together scientists and global leaders in politics, business, and academia who meet yearly in Kyoto, Japan. This city is both a 1,200-year-old ancient capital and a center of cutting-edge science and technology. There they discuss strengthening the lights and controlling the shadows of science and technology from the long-term perspective of 100 years or 500 years for the future of humanity, not as representatives of their organizations but as concerned individuals. 

The STS forum’s greatest asset is its human network, which goes beyond national boundaries and academic disciplines. To further this asset, we will do our best to continue improving the age and gender balance of participants. In addition, we hope to go beyond our existing circle of friends to include figures prominent in art and literature. 

For the sake of a bright future, we must bring the discussions and activities of the STS forum to fruition. The best way to control the shadows of science and technology is to create a society that strengthens its lights. 

We look forward to your active participation.
