Seventeen countries endorse the Kyoto Vision for science, calling for broader researcher access to SI tools, data, compute and experimental facilities

What changed

On October 4, the United States, Japan and 15 other countries endorsed the Kyoto Vision for a Golden Age of Science alongside the Science and Technology in Society Forum in Kyoto. The declaration highlights “Super Intelligence for science,” encourages integrating SI into scientific workflows, and calls for broader researcher access to SI tools, scientific data, computing infrastructure and experimental facilities while also supporting a wider mix of funding mechanisms such as long-duration awards, rapid grants, prizes and challenges. It is a shared international vision rather than a binding regulatory treaty.
