Purpose of this portal site:
In response to the development of science, technology, and innovation (STI), it is indispensable to cultivate highly motivated human resources with both technical skills and interpersonal soft skills to coordinate scientific projects. The position title of such specialized professionals is different from one place to another. They can be scholars heading international or public-private collaborations, or full-time coordinators under the title of research administrator or research manager. In this proposal, “STI (Science Technology Innovation) coordinators” refers to a wide range of professionals. Depending on their country and organization, the coordinators’ knowledge and skills required for the position also vary widely: command of foreign languages, research ethics and compliance, rules in accounting and procurement, management of equipment, impact writing/assessment, reviewing calls for proposals and application forms to secure research funds, STI policies, academic-industry collaboration, PR, management of the team and possible risks, ability to understand cutting edge scientific results, for instance.
Since 2020, Kyoto University, JAPAN-ASEAN Science, Technology, and Innovation Platform (JASTIP) have been leading an initiative to organize an online series of study group meeting for cultivating STI coordinators between ASEAN and Japan toward Grand Challenge in collaboration with Universiti Malaya, ASEAN Foundation, and COSTI/SCIRD and ASEAN Secretariat. These joint initiatives were officially endorsed by ASEAN COSTI.
The initiative aims to generate further awareness of cultivating professional STI coordinator in ASEAN and Japan. This portal site is to share results of our joint efforts widely among the relevant ASEAN Community, Sectoral-Bodies, centers and networks and committees such as COSTI and SCIRD.
What's a STI Coordinator?
Need well-cultivted STI Coordinator
Need well-cultivted STI Coordinator
Well-cultivated STI coordinators are required in our global society. We are facing very complicated and multifaced global issues such as climate change, energy security, and infection diseases. Toward universal goal of humanity on this planet, we need to produce a good research project, robust STI policy, industrial innovation, and social contribution to tackle with these grand challenges. To do so, we need to establish a well-balanced eco-system of STI. In order to balance the eco-system, we need to have good research management and administration and coordination. Therefore, we need to nurture human resources so called as STI coordinator..
Scientist and STI Coordinator
Scientist and STI Coordinator
This slide shows the contrasting image of extension of the capacity for scientist and STI coordinator. Scientist normally develop their capacity to deeper and deeper direction based on their academic discipline. On the other hand, STI coordinator try to grow their capacity with wider perspectives in both of practical and academic discipline.
Role of STI coordinator among scientists
Role of STI coordinator among scientists
The role of STI coordinator among scientists can be explained with wave synthesis theory. There are two sharp and isolated waves A and B which represent for Scientist A and Scientist B. There are no interaction, no cooperation, or no synergy. When we apply wide wave c representing STI coordinator among two sharp waves, we can obtain a synthesized wave with higher intensity as a result of interaction, cooperation, and synergy. This is simple image of role of STI coordinator among scientists.
Role of STI coordinator
Role of STI coordinator
The role of STI coordinator is bridging and coordinating among different sectors such as academia, government, industry, and local communities to initiate new projects. Then, STI coordinator provides good research administration from pre-award and post-award toward overall goal of the projects.
