the dawn of the digital society, and is now celebrating its 30th anniversary.\u3000As Japan and the world are confronted with dizzying changes and the need for constant transformation, GLOCOM has consistently promoted interdisciplinary research on politics, economics, and culture, as well as research on the nature of a new information society rooted in the development and spread of information and communication technologies.<br><br>\r\n\r\nGLOCOM is characterized by its activities to study the common issues of the digital society, such as the compatibility of &#8220;reliability&#8221; and &#8220;convenience,&#8221; as well as the uniqueness of Japan and its value creation.\u3000GLOCOM&#8217;s implementation activities, which promote the sharing of issues through the dissemination of research results, and the collaboration of stakeholders to solve them, are playing a new social role as a platform open to industry, government, academia, and the private sector, where people and knowledge are combined.<br><br>\r\n\r\nIn recent years, GLOCOM has been engaged in interdisciplinary and multi-sectoral co-creation and co-progress for the digitalization of all aspects of society, from urban planning to education, disaster response, and cultural promotion, based on strategies and policies for data utilization.<br><br>\r\n\r\nGLOCOM will continue to contribute to the development of a sustainable economy and society through research and practical activities that contribute to the comprehensive social implementation of digital transformation in the future.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<\/p>\r\n          <div class=\"img01\">\r\n            <p class=\"note\">Ryoichi Matsuyama, Director<\/p>\r\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
