Founding Prospectus
The Japan Society for Halal Science and Technology (JAHAS) is an academic society whose main mission is to promote, deepen and disseminate scientific and technological knowledge to be properly applied to halal science and industry, and to link effectively academicians and practitioners with a view to solving the related problems of the fields, in domestic as well as international arenas.
The society spans multiple disciplines, expanding beyond natural sciences and technology to include humanities and social sciences. Halal science in a narrow sense is generally restricted to the fields of natural sciences and regarded as important in contemporary halal certification procedures in the world, but the society equally invites all the specialists and researchers who are interested in halal science in a broader sense of the word, as might be exemplified by social scientific studies of consumers’ or entrepreneurs’ behaviors and ways of thinking related to halal and so on. With such an inclusive framework of halal science, the society aims to make academic as well as practical contributions to the clarification of phenomenon concerning halal through a full use of scientific methods and expertise available today. The society welcomes not only the academicians interested in halal science and halal industry research but also practitioners in various fields such as food industry, medicine, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, veterinary medicine, apparel industry, logistics, tourism industry, finance, insurance, management and the like, as long as they are anyhow related to halal. The society aims to provide an academically and practically more productive and heuristic platform for its members to exchange and share ideas and information related to halal matters. The society is to be supported by a diverse array of professionals from academia, governmental as well as non-profit and business organizations.
