Dear
Dr. Ojārs Spārītis
President, Latvian Academy of Sciences
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude for your active participation in the
Academy of Science Presidents’ Meeting, which was held
at the Kyoto International
Conference Center on 6th October, 2014.
We felt it was so productive and informative that the meeting could provide a platform
where we discussed what roles scientific academies and/or institutions should
play to reduce
and prevent research misconduct.
A wide variety of remarks and lively discussions with exchanges of relevant
information and opinion from diverse viewpoints made us reaffirm that
preventing measures
rather than investigating methods are crucial and effective for science integrity. We
deeply
appreciate your active contributions to this meeting.
We really would like to have other opportunities soon to work together for further
promotion of science and technology for the society.
Yours sincerely,
Takashi Onishi
