The University Consortium Kyoto (hereinafter referred to as the "Foundation") has set designated survey themes and conducts research by researchers in specialized fields with the aim of contributing to the improvement and review of projects, new development, and sophistication. For the 2017 designated survey project, we are looking for researchers (research groups) who have set the following two themes as a research policy on the role that the Foundation should play in disseminating the appeal of "Kyoto as a university city and a city of students." We are looking forward to receiving applications from many researchers. For details, please check the application guidelines below.
Designated Survey Topics
| Theme 1 | "Investigative Research on the Effects of Student Exchange, especially in Academic Exchange, and Its Utilization in Foundation Projects (Evaluation and Recommendations)" |
| Outline of the research sought | The Foundation conducts the Policy Research Exchange Conference and other projects that provide a place for students to engage in academic exchange beyond the boundaries of universities and faculties. This is an initiative that exists because it is a foundation that exists in "Kyoto, the city of universities and Kyoto, a city of students," and is one of the attractions of Kyoto, a city of universities. Therefore, with the aim of further improving and disseminating this appeal, we would like to conduct research on what kind of awareness, growth, and learning are acquired by participating students in these projects through academic exchange that transcends the boundaries of universities and faculties, and to receive proposals for making it a project in which more students participate and gain awareness, growth, and learning. |
| Theme 2 | "Influence on University Selection and Role of the Foundation in 'Kyoto City of Universities and Kyoto City of Students'" |
| Outline of the research sought | Kyoto is a "university town and student town" where many universities and junior colleges are concentrated, and about 10% of the population of students study. We will conduct research to determine to what extent university entrance exam students and students attending universities in Kyoto consider the location of the university as the reason for choosing a university, and how they feel the appeal of Kyoto universities (for example, it is possible to compare universities with other cities). At the same time, it is desirable to state whether the existence of the foundation or its business influences the choice of university. On top of that, I would like to receive suggestions on how foundations, member schools, and governments should utilize "university towns and student towns" for recruiting examinees, publicity, and business development. |
