“Science Agora 2006” the first integrated event for science communications in Japan was held on 25-27thNovember 2006. In the event, 86 associations or groups held their own session, 104 sessions and posterswere shown, and more than 1500 people participated. The event was aimed for“ infrastructure development”for the advancements of science communications in Japan. Three purposes of“ agoras” were designed; thedialogues between society and science, that between the various science sectors, and that amongst sciencecommunicators.In this report, I describe how these purposes were reflected to the process of program planning and how thesewere realized or not. The network amongst science communicators in Japan were reinforced by the event, andsome trials for the corporation between various science sectors were started by the event. Also some outreachevents for general public made a good success in Science Agora 2006. Each success was independentlyaccomplished, but Science Agora has the potential to be the place for the active interaction between thedifferent purposes. In future, the multiple network, from government, researchers to general public, should beconstructed based on Science Agora, and it will contribute to the sustainable development of science in society.
