| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Uncertainty always exists in its degree in the knowledge of science and technology. Also, the issue which scientific knowledge is needed for decision-making cannot be determined by scientific knowledge itself, as decision-making must be related to value-judgment. We have discussed these properties of the knowledge of science and technology, namely, scientific incertitude, and found several conditions to be considered for better decision-making. We have edited a book about scientific incertitude with our members, and will be published in the fiscal year, 2017.
