The poster presents the results from the questionnaire survey on the science-society collaboration, which was carried out as a part of the survey by JpGU 2024 U-08 Session: What is the value of knowledge creation? Science and Society, Collaboration and Evaluation. The conveners of this session series have been carrying out surveys every year and presenting the results in the following year at the JpGU meeting. However, it is difficult to convey rich and interesting results from the survey in a short presentation. Thus, we are presenting details of the results in two posters in JpGU 2025. This poster aims to introduce the perspectives of the JpGU community on societal contribution and engagement.
The survey was carried out as an internet survey to the JpGU community. The sections of the respondents varied, as well as the methods and the scale of the research. More than half of the respondents are doing research related to disasters (earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions etc.).
The respondents were asked to indicate the importance of pursuing fundamental principles and solving concrete real-world problems in their research, which were indicators of their preference for traditional science and applied science respectively. Interestingly, a large proportion of the respondents indicated that they feel both aspects are important. The results indicate an emerging trend in the geoscience community that they value both scientific and societal contributions, while this could also mean that they are facing new challenges in the way that the research is carried out.
According to the survey, many researchers found that stakeholder engagement had positive effects on their research, such as improvements in setting research aims or getting assistance for field research. They also pointed out important lessons learnt for facilitating effective stakeholder engagement. The poster examines these results quantitatively and qualitatively and discusses how the JpGU community may overcome the challenge of pursuing both academic and societal contributions.
