Seventeen countries, including the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Germany, jointly supported the “Kyoto Vision for the Golden Age of Science” at the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Science, Technology and Society Forum held in Kyoto on October 4, and proposed expanding the access of researchers to AI tools, scientific data, computational infrastructure, and experimental facilities, and reforming the way research institutions are organized. The declaration encourages the use of AI for knowledge analysis, physical and biological systems modeling, and autonomous closed-loop scientific research, and proposes to support high-risk, high-potential research through various methods such as long-term funding, quick funding, bonuses, and challenges, while reducing unnecessary administrative burdens on researchers. Participating countries also support the development of “meta-science” to evaluate the effectiveness of different scientific research organizations and funding mechanisms, and emphasize reproducibility, transparency, and recognition of negative results. At the same time, the declaration proposed strengthening the training of young scientific research talents and cooperation across fields. Countries will promote the implementation of relevant policies through domestic scientific research institutions and international cooperation projects.
