terrorism may remain here for a few coming years）. The main line of the short termvision should be: crisis and conflict prevention. For the simple reason, because peaceis the utmost necessity for normal human existence and activity.Working on main or strategic topics, on the other hand, would be a task for thelonger run. Here the main line towards a vision should be: development in the broadsense, including economic, social and cultural development, and the resolution ofensuing problems like environment protection etc.９The focus should be development,because every and each nation in the world wants to develop, and the UNU throughits international position is predestined to provide help for countries to theirdevelopment.Development issues should be assessed with a strong orientation to poor,developing and medium developed countries. 10When working out models, scenariosand policies for development, the UNU should use the rich experiences of Japanand other Asian nations, its location is very advantageous for that. Of the Asiandevelopment experiences especially two deserve attention, the technology transfer andenvironment protection. Thinking along the traditional Anglo-Saxon market economy,one would easily expect modern technology and pollution free environment from theautomatism of free market. However, these fields are not directly market relatedbecause they have no connection with short term profit expectations. Especially theJapanese experiences prove that a strong cooperation between the government andthe business sector is necessary, and it is not by chance that today in the US and EUscience and technology are among the central priorities of government policy making.Finally, about the working method of the UNU. To fulfil a mission together withintensive research and education activity would exceed the capacity of the UNU andalso the possibilities of a middle size traditional university. Following from its position,174９In the present Thematic Orientation all topics are enlisted from human security to global climate, however, withoutanystrategicfocus.10 For example, the“geothermal research and training”in the schedule of UNU will bring no if any benefit for thepoor and developing countries.
