We need a new agency with a thousand researchers 1998.10.15

The National Institute of Environmental Research announced a proposal to "not be able to respond to the environmental problems of the century if we do not have a research institution of 1,000 researchers." Currently, with the rapid increase in research themes, researchers at the institute remain flat with 180 people, and in 10 years they should be United States-level 3000. In the research budget, we estimate that we need to allocate 100 billion items to new institutions for about 10 billion yen in the current year.
