In Japan, where the birthrate is declining, securing young people to lead the next generation is an important issue for all organisations. The Particle Accelerator Society of Japan has nearly 1,000 members with increasing up to now, but it is necessary to take measures for the future. Therefore, the Events Committee and the Activation Committee of the Society jointly organised "First Roundtable meeting for communication with students and companies/research institutions". The aim of this meeting was to increase opportunities to connect students and companies/research institutions, to help students resolve their concerns about the future through job, and to help secure human resources for community. This paper reports on this meeting and its future as a new initiative towards the sustainable academic society.
