JSSPRM will create an award system this year, based on the author's review on the mission of the Society. Our interest lies in management and policy issues related to science and technology as practical and interdisciplinary researches. Research of this kind is susceptible to criticism for alleged "uselessness" and "lack of scientific self-sufficiency". We should counter this by presenting consequent research results. This "consequence" must be a criterion for the awards. The practical interdisciplinary research is a field where discipline-based approaches are integrated with mission-oriented development. What should be pursued here is usefulness in more fundamental, more generic, and wider and longer-term view, supported by logical consequence. More specifically, analyses on dynamic processes and for the future are of prime importance, and development of concepts, models, tools, instruments and methodology for that purpose will form a substantial part of our efforts. Accumulation of such activities should lead to maturity of the field in which a new paradigm, comprising new specific disciplines, will be established.
