I am honored to serve as the 110th President of the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan (IEEJ). In my new role, I am committed to working closely with all IEEJ members to further the development of the institute over the next year. I look forward to your support in this effort.
\nThe world in which the IEEJ operates has been changing dramatically in recent years. In addition to increasingly evident global environmental problems, the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, and the digital transformation of society, we face the challenges of Japan\u2019s declining population, declining birthrate, and aging population.
\nTo sustain its activities and continue its service to society in this period of great societal upheaval, the IEEJ needs to reaffirm its universal mission of \u201ccontributing positively to the advancement and development of scholarship and industry and to the training of professionals in fields related to electrical engineering for the benefit society.\u201d On top of this, the IEEJ must take action to address the challenges presented by the complex changes in the world and environment, now and in the years ahead.
\nWith these circumstances clearly in mind, in 2022, after reviewing its current \u201cGrand Design,\u201d the IEEJ formulated and issued its updated \u201cNew Grand Design.\u201d We then took into considerations concrete proposals from the IEEJ\u2019s various societies, branches, and committees to put together a new \u201cMedium-Term Action Plan.\u201d
\nIn 2023, our focus is on developing specific initiatives for the Medium-Term Action Plan, with the goal of fulfilling the New Grand Design. At the same time, while respecting the activities carried out by every society, branch, and committee of the IEEJ over many years, we are striving to build a more flexible and sustainable management system for the IEEJ.
\nThe activities of IEEJ members, implemented with devotion and pride, will help to build, preserve, and advance the scientific, logical, ethical, and operational foundations of the institute\u2019s various societies, branches, and committees, as well as the whole of the IEEJ. I expect these excellent foundations to positively impact all the individual members of the IEEJ, leading to interactive and emergent development. Furthermore, I believe that this is precisely the kind of process that can enhance the standing of the IEEJ and help to deliver genuine \u201cmember services.\u201d
\nI look forward to the continued support and cooperation of all IEEJ members in this work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
