Overview of the business
In order to contribute to the development of higher education, we exchange information on the efforts of each university consortium and research results.
Outline of the 16th National University Consortium Research Exchange Forum
- Theme
- "University Development Initiated with the University Consortium"
- Purpose of the tournament
- The various issues associated with the declining birthrate and aging population are so serious that they affect the foundation of Japan's survival. In particular, the declining birthrate (the 18-year-old population, which peaked at 2.05 million in fiscal 1992 and remained stable at 1.2 million for the past decade, has been decreasing again since fiscal 2018 last year, and is expected to decline to 880,000 in fiscal 2040). ) is a big problem for universities.
On the other hand, with regard to education policy, which is the core of the country, various reforms from primary education to higher education are being discussed, but it is not clear how permanent and effective they will be. Especially in the field of higher education, there is a strong social demand for university entrance examination reform that emphasizes the connection between high school and university, and for educational performance targets and quality assurance, which should be the source of such reform.
Against this background, this forum will examine the content and role that university consortiums, which can be said to be a collection of knowledge in each region, should discuss. In order for each of the constituent universities not only to be higher education institutions responsible for fostering regional human resources, but also to promote clarification and characterization of their roles and functions, and to contribute to university reform and the creation of a university that can contribute to the region, we would like to consider a wide range of issues, share knowledge and experience, and make it a fruitful learning opportunity for the future. - Schedule

Subcommittee 1 (Contact: Education Network China)
Theme FD/SD Workshop at the University Consortium Contents Unlike the various workshops held at each university, the consortium workshops attract participants from many universities, so different effects can be expected. We will examine the effectiveness of the training based on the presentation of the training at the University Consortium Kyoto and the current situation of the educational network in China. In the panel discussion, we will use clickers to take surveys from the floor and proceed with the discussion. Through discussions, we will explore the raison d'être of the University Consortium. reporter Masaruto Yoshisada Deputy Secretary-General, Education Development Division, University Consortium Kyoto FD and SD Business at Consortium Kyoto Ichiro Mukaida Professor, Director of the Library, Hiroshima International University, Chair of the China Training Committee of the Education Network FD and SD Training in Education Network China Yuki Oki Professor, Ritsumeikan University Educational Development Promotion Organization Current Status and Challenges of FD in Japan and Countries Coordinator Tsutomu Mamoto Professor (Vice President, Director of the Center for General Education), Prefectural University of Hiroshima, Chairman, Inter-University and High School-University Collaboration Committee, Educational Network China Subcommittee 2 (University Consortium Kyoto)
Theme Support for Students with Disabilities and the University Consortium Contents Although the support for students with disabilities, which universities are responsible for, is premised on the efforts of each university, there are many universities that have not yet established an adequate support system or have not assigned a person in charge of support. In response to this situation, it will be very important to collaborate among universities and share knowledge and know-how on support. In this subcommittee, I would like to introduce examples of university consortium efforts to support students with disabilities as a project and use this as an opportunity to think about their roles and prospects. reporter Emiko Tsuchihashi Doshisha University Support Office for Students with Disabilities, Chief Coordinator Introduction of Activities to Support Students with Disabilities at the University Consortium Kyoto Shin Harada Associate Professor, Center for General Education and Student Support, Okayama University Introduction of Activities to Support Students with Disabilities at the University Consortium Okayama Takafumi Fukunaga Professor, Department of Information Systems Technology, Kumamoto Prefectural College of Technology Introduction of Activities to Support Students with Disabilities at the University Consortium Kumamoto Coordinator Jun Murata Associate Professor, Student Support Center, Kyoto University (Chief Coordinator, Support Room for Students with Disabilities) Subcommittee 3 (University Consortium Kumamoto)
Theme Crisis Management and University Community Contribution: A Case Study of Earthquake Response Contents When the Kumamoto earthquake (M7.3) struck in April 2016, each university opened the university as an evacuation center, volunteered in the affected area, provided psychological care to residents of the affected area, supported the education of children in the affected area, and provided reconstruction advice by faculty members in specialized fields. By introducing these initiatives and sharing information on the university's crisis management system, the university will provide an opportunity to learn how the university can contribute to disaster prevention and mitigation measures for expected natural disasters in the future. reporter Miwa Abe Kumamoto University Kumamoto Creation Promotion Organization Associate Professor From volunteer activities after the earthquake to community activities Asuka Teruya Kumamoto Gakuen University Volunteer Coordinator Disaster shelters that accepted people Sumiko Akiyoshi Associate Professor, Department of Food and Nutrition, Shoki University Junior College Student participation in Mashiki town soup kitchen activities by NPO Ryosuke Ide Student, Tokai University Community Bonds and Challenges in the Earthquake -Minami Aso Village and Kumamoto Earthquake- Coordinator Michio Sawada Professor, Faculty of General Management, University of Kumamoto Subcommittee 4 (University Consortium Osaka)
Theme What are the activities of the University Consortium that lead to the growth and development of people, universities, and communities? Contents University consortiums nationwide are conducting distinctive activities in collaboration with universities, local governments, and industry, taking advantage of their regional characteristics, and by collaborating with multiple organizations, activities that cannot be accomplished individually are made possible, expanding the scope of activities and creating new activities. From another perspective, it can be said that by creating a unique place for activities with the University Consortium as the core, the people who participate in it will connect, learn, and work together to grow themselves, which in turn will lead to the development of the university and the region. Here, we will consider what is expected of the "University Consortium" that works to contribute to the growth and development of people, universities, and towns. reporter Kunihiko Nakagawa University Consortium Osaka Regional Cooperation Coordinator Activities of the University Consortium to Lead to Student Growth (tentative title) Kenichi Matsushita Konan University Regional Relations Center Office Manager Hyogo Industry-Government-Academia Collaboration Council's Business Development for the Development of Human Resources for "Hometown Hyogo" Kuniaki Tanaka Campus Consortium Hakodate Steering Committee The Role of University Consortiums in University Education Reform: A Study from the Profile Sheet of Member Organizations of the National Council of University Consortiums Coordinator Takahiro Hisashi Professor, Faculty of Social Sciences, University, Chairman of the Planning and Steering Committee of the University Consortium Osaka, Chairman of the Regional Cooperation Subcommittee Promotion Committee, Chairman of the Osaka Prefectural Regional Collaboration Platform Council Subcommittee 5 (Academic, Cultural and Industrial Network Tama)
Theme How to develop human resources for regional revitalization Contents What kind of regional revitalization human resources are the business community looking for? What are human resources for regional revitalization? The total population of Japan has entered a phase of long-term decline, and sustainable local communities are being questioned in most regional cities and mountainous areas. In order to take on the challenge of creating new industrial forms and revitalizing the region, we will discuss specific examples of human resource development plans required for regional revitalization in a "workshop format with floor participation". The above theme is an important issue for the University Consortium to predict tomorrow. Workshops will be held with the free participation of each consortium. In response to the Keidanren Regional Revitalization Human Resources Development Plan (scheduled to be distributed on the day), we will discuss university reform and university collaboration rooted in local communities, based on current issues and future prospects. reporter Mr. Kiichiro Tomino Vice President, Fukuchiyama Public University Objectives and Issues of Regional Public Human Resource Development Haruo Kimura Director, Higher Education Laboratory, Benesse Educational Research and Development Institute Current Status and Issues of Human Resource Development through Industry-Academia Collaboration Sukehiro Hosono Executive Director, Academic, Cultural and Industrial Network Tama, Professor Emeritus,

Implementation Report
The 16th National University Consortium Research Exchange Forum was held at Kumamoto Gakuen University (Kumamoto City) for two days on August 31 (Sat.) and September 1 (Sun.) under the main theme of "University Development Initiated with University Consortiums."
At this forum, 297 people from higher education institutions and governments across Japan participated in the forum to investigate the content that the university consortium, which can be said to be a collection of knowledge in each region, should discuss and the role it should play.
On the first day, a pre-event was held before the opening of the forum, and officials from the University Consortium Secretariat reflected on their activities and shared the issues they feel on a daily basis in management.
In the keynote speech, Mr. Shang-jung Kang (Director of Kumamoto Prefectural Theater) gave a lecture titled "The Potential of the University Consortium and CAMPUS Asia."
