抄録

The Japanese government adopted the “Seventh Science, Technology, and Innovation Basic Plan” (the Seventh Basic Plan) on March 27, 2026. Covering the period from fiscal years 2026-2030, the Seventh Basic Plan was formulated by the Council for Science, Technology, and Innovation (CSTI) in response to a formal inquiry from the Prime Minister. The Seventh Basic Plan not only aims to reverse the decline in Japan’s research capabilities but also presents a strategy to rebuild an environment where scientists can pursue ambitious ideas and translate discoveries into innovations. At its core is a commitment to “Revitalizing Science” as the foundation for future innovation.
