Greetings
Director, Prof. TANAKA Makoto
Data science is a prominent subject of research in the era of big data and AI. Now data science is changing every aspect of the world, and policy science is no exception. Systematic use of data in policy making is becoming a “must” in terms of both governance and accountability: tactics for using data may play crucial, even decisive, roles in determining the fate of this country. In that light, there are urgent demands on and immense expectations of data science.
However, one of the major obstacles to the introduction of data science in policy making is the towering wall separating liberal arts/social sciences and technology/natural sciences. This wall is deeply rooted in traditional higher educational systems; as a result, most of those engaged in policy making at the core of both national and regional governments struggle to solve problems due to their lack of background in data analysis and mathematical modeling—and miss the opportunity to become acquainted with data science despite their high potential and ability.
It is urgently necessary to rectify this situation by fostering policymakers with broad interdisciplinary perspectives. In response, GRIPS established the Center for Data Science in April 2022, with the aim of promoting both education in and research on data science, towards the development of policy science. GRIPS faculty includes academic policy science researchers in a wide variety of areas, ranging from arts to sciences; and policymakers well versed in the planning and implementation of policy. We are proud to be able to offer an ideal environment for data science education and policy science research, in the downtown core of Tokyo. We appreciate your broad and strong support. Thank you very much.
