Glocom

The Center for Global Communications (GLOCOM) meanwhile has the mission of studying the information society and Japanese society from diverse perspectives, while at the same time aiming to be an “intelprise” that actively pursues joint activities with enterprises and the state (government). For more than a decade, GLOCOM has made policy proposals that contribute to the information society. The roles played by GLOCOM have been especially significant in the areas of information and communication. In the coming decade, GLOCOM plans to conduct studies in new areas, in addition to its basic studies on information and communication. These will be activities based on collaboration among industry, the government, academia and the general public. GLOCOM will offer an “intelplace” for these activities.
