瑞典皇家科学院 （RSAS）
【组织简介】
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences （RSAS）is an independent, non-governmental organization founded in 1739. The major aims of the Academy are to promote research in mathematics and the natural sciences.

The Academy participates in and promotes international scientific cooperation through its seven scientific institutes by publishing scientific journals by distributing scientific information and by promoting contacts between scientists and society. Prizes and grants are awarded annually from funds held in trust by the Academy. The Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry have been awarded by the Academy since 1901 and the Prize in Economic Sciences in memory of Alfred Nobel since 1968.

History
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, founded 1739, was modelled on the pattern of the Royal Society of London and of l’Academie Royale des Sciences in Paris. The academies of sciences are all very special bodies representing a cultural heritage which dates back to the Renaissance. Their origins, background and history differ and they fulfil their duties in different ways although they all promote science and defend the freedom of science.

The Swedish Academy of Sciences was created as, and still is, an independent, non-governmental scientific society. It began on a modest basis and achieved distinction through the quality of its leadership as well as its determination to promote natural science. Sweden in the first half of the 18th century presented an unusually distinguished array of scientists. Among the founders was the world-famous naturalist Carl Linnaeus (knighted von Linné), the mercantilist Jonas Alstromer and the mechanical engineer Marten Triewald as well as the politician Anders Johan von Hopken, who became the Academy’s first Permanent Secretary.

The Academy, in its early days, with its eminent membership, was in a position to establish fruitful scientific relationship with the academies of the main European countries - a step towards the internationalization of research. With its regularly published "Handlingar" (Transactions) and the bulletins then published in its Almanac, the Academy transmitted reserach findings both within the scientific community and to the Swedish general public - two different levels of research information.

During its first heyday, The Academy was above all concerned with promoting everyday applications of scientific discoveries, e.g. in agriculture, ship building and mining. The eminent chemist J. Berzelius was appointed Permanent Secretary in the beginning of the 19th century. His first care was to reorganize the Academy and to turn it into a society with purely scientific aims. This organization is still prevailing.

Journals
The journals the Academy itself produces are AMBIO (international environmental research, Acta Mathematica and Arkiv for Matematik.

In collaboration with other scientific academies and foundations the Academy also produces Physica Scripta (experimental and theoretical physics) Acta Zoologica (zoological morphology) and Zoologica Scripta (systematic zoology).

In addition the Academy shares in the publication of ETAI - Electronic Transactions on Artificial Intelligence.

Reports and appraisals produced by or commissioned by the Academy of Sciences are published in the series Rapporter och utvarderingar and Documenta.

日本新能源和产业技术开发组织 (NEDO)
【组织简介】
The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) was established in October 1980, immediately after the second oil crisis, as a semi-governmental organization under the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, which is now the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). NEDO is a unique organization in that it works to coordinate the funds, personnel, and technological strengths of both the public and private sectors in Japan. This characteristic is clearly visible in all of the activities that NEDO undertakes.

NEDO's activities include the following: development and promotion of new energy and energy conservation technologies, management of industrial technology research and development projects, restructuring of Japan's domestic coal mining industry, production of industrial alcohol, and restoration of damaged coal mining areas. In addition, NEDO promotes international cooperation involving joint R&D and information exchange.

1. New Energy and Energy Conservation Technologies
The development of new energy and energy conservation technologies will play a key role in humankind's quest to realize clean energies which can help resolve global environmental problems. NEDO embraces an active commitment to the development of clean new energies such as solar and wind power and to their introduction and dissemination.

2. Industrial Technology

The development of industrial technology involves a large amount of risk and uncertainty, and because of this there are many R&D fields that are difficult for the private sector to explore. NEDO plays an important role in reducing such risk. Its commitment to active R&D spans many industrial technology fields that will benefit and spur socioeconomic development, including environmental technologies needed to establish a harmonious balance between industrial growth and environmental protection.

3. International Cooperation

NEDO carries out research cooperation projects under Japan's Official Development Assistance (ODA) scheme across a range of environmental and industrial technologies. Through cooperation with developing countries, it engages in demonstration trials and research for the introduction and spread of new energy and energy conservation technologies as well as research and model projects for the diffusion of environment-friendly coal utilization technologies. NEDO is also actively engaged in advanced research and development activities with countries all over the world. In the context of its international cooperation activities, NEDO is strongly committed to the development of human resources through technical exchanges and training schemes for overseas researchers, a vital precondition for effective international collaboration.

4. Other NEDO Activities

Supporting the coal mining sector NEDO plays an important role in supporting Japan's efforts toward a smooth structural readjustment of its domestic coal industry. Activities in this area include the development of new fields and overseas coal development projects.

Restoration of damage caused by coal mining operations Coal mining activities inflict considerable damage to the local area in which they take place. Ground subsidence, cave-ins, uplifting of agricultural land, and collapses of houses and buildings are common occurrences in coal mining areas. NEDO works to mitigate such damage through compensation and restoration schemes.

Securing a stable supply of alcohol for industrial use NEDO helps to ensure a stable supply of low-cost industrial alcohol by promoting greater production efficiency and research to develop new and improved production process technologies.
