Abstract
This study investigates how different segments of the public, with varying

degrees of interest in S&T, could formulate opinions on a broader vision

and the role they think STI should play in Japanese society through 2020

(Tokyo’s Olympic and Paralympic year) and toward 2030. We conducted

nine inclusive public engagement activities. Results indicated that the

broad public opinions did not completely overlap with officials’ opinions, a

value of “open and appropriate” was mainly found from the unengaged

public, and the visions and values based on their opinions could well be

incorporated into the official document. Engaging the disinterested in S&T

remains an issue.
