Kyoto City and the University Consortium Kyoto have been implementing the "University Collaboration University" Promotion Project" since FY28 with the aim of establishing regional collaboration initiatives as an organizational initiative of universities beyond the boundaries of faculties and departments, and enhancing and developing them.
Since Heisei 28, we have supported six universities for four years, and as a result, the number of students studying in the region has increased, the number of students who are interested in the region has steadily increased, and the research results and student vitality of the university have been utilized in the region, leading to the revitalization of the region.
In FY2020, four new universities were selected and we are providing support for 4 years (planned) from FY2020~FY2023.

Interim Evaluation Results of the "Cooperative University of Learning" Promotion Project

　The "Academic Community Collaboration University" promotion project, which started in FY2020, has a four-year support period until FY2023, but an interim evaluation by external experts will be conducted in FY2022, the third year, and an interim evaluation was conducted on September 29, 2022. The evaluation results are as follows.

【General Comments (Common to all four selected schools)】
　In the difficult situation of the corona disaster, it can be seen that each of them has been devised and worked hard.
On the other hand, it is precisely because of this situation that it is important to take an approach that is not limited to the university issues that were initially envisioned, but also investigates regional issues that have become apparent due to the coronavirus pandemic, deepens regional cooperation, and finds solutions.
In addition, I would like them to recognize that students are the main actors, and to encourage them to take voluntary awareness, action, and creativity in community cooperation activities. On top of that, it is desirable to thoroughly evaluate the degree of growth of students through the project.
Outsourcing fees and guidance fees are recorded in budgets and financial statements, but there are some realizations that can be gained by working on the project by academic advisors and students themselves, so I would like them to consider reviewing them.

Review:

• As for the "town and campus," I would like you to aim to become a "place of awareness" where students connect with the community. In addition, as a characteristic of the university, it spends a large amount of rent, so we expect to make more active use of it.
• The employment rate of companies and organizations in Kyoto City, which is listed as an evaluation index for projects, is currently well below the standard value for the first year of Reiwa. The results should be analyzed and what kind of employment support is needed again. It should also be examined how students perceive the attractiveness of local companies.
• I would like universities and junior colleges to work on analyzing the current situation of each and extracting issues for the next year.

Review:

• It is necessary to analyze the effects of information dissemination through radio programs and YouTube. Ultimately, it is desirable to carry out a quantitative assessment.
• It is commendable that we were able to switch some of the activities that were intended for face-to-face formats to video distribution. I would like you to accumulate know-how on secondary use of video and online courses, and consider how to utilize and develop it in the future.
• Since a sense of growth is important as a prerequisite for students to gain awareness and creativity in activities, questionnaires should be conducted to measure students' growth.

Review:

• The collaborative project with Kyoto Pharmaceutical University, which is the pillar of this project, seems to be limited to the IPE project (recruitment of simulated patients and participation in classes) at this point, so I would like you to go one step further and indicate the direction of new attempts.
• The number of alumni interviews on the visualization of educational effects is small. Since sufficient budget has been secured for fiscal 2022, I would like you to work on the latter half of the adoption period as an "developmental" project so that concrete results can be demonstrated.
• Regarding alumni interviews, I would like you to clarify the purpose of the interviews, such as "I want to deepen the relationship between graduates and students" or "I want students to think about their careers." On top of that, if it is done effectively and efficiently, I would like students to consider methods such as using online, and if it is to enhance educational effectiveness, I think that students will be able to understand the nuances and how to put their hearts into it themselves without outsourcing the transcription, which will lead to growth.

Review:

• With regard to the qualification certification system for "high school student version of community public policyholder," I would like to see efforts to develop the system so that it can be established as an educational project in the next one and a half years.
• With regard to high school-university collaborations, I would like to see the number of verification parameters increased and the content thoroughly analyzed.
• When it comes to the production of video teaching materials, I would like them to place importance on the awareness and changes that students have gained during the production process, rather than the creation itself. I would also like the effects of students to communicate with local residents and group work be included in the report.
