Outline of the event
theme
Building Sustainable Local Communities by University Consortium
~Aiming to create new value in anticipation of the after-corona era~
Purpose of the tournament
At present, universities and other institutions of higher education play a variety of roles, not only for research, education for young people, and the production of human resources, but also as “knowledge hubs” that create innovation and bearers of regional culture.
On the other hand, in order to respond to a mountain of issues such as a declining birthrate and aging society, global environmental problems, the novel coronavirus infection, and the shift to a digital society, and to create a sustainable society, it is thought that it can only be realized by collaborating not only with higher education institutions alone, but also with various entities such as higher education institutions, governments, and industries, and through exchanges involving the local community.
Therefore, the purpose of this forum is to consider the various forms of collaboration that university consortiums have been involved in in order to create sustainable local communities in the future, and to envision the future form of university consortiums aiming to create new value in anticipation of the post-corona era.

The Land of Japan, the Land of Shizuoka ~Large-Scale Natural Disasters and Crisis Management of Higher Education Institutions~
Kazuo Oike (President, University of Shizuoka, Vice President of the Fujinokuni Regional and University Consortium) Overview
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Great Kanto Earthquake that occurred on September 1, 1923. In the event of large-scale natural disasters such as the Nankai Trough mega-earthquake, which is said to occur in the near future, crisis management and disaster prevention measures are required not only in Shizuoka Prefecture but also at higher education institutions nationwide. In this lecture, we will consider risks such as natural disasters that may occur and measures that should be taken in the future, mainly from the perspectives of earth science and seismology. In addition, I would like to discuss with the participants how higher education institutions should govern crisis management in general, including man-made disasters. |

Day 2: Sunday, September 3
| meeting place | Breakout Session 10:00-12:00 |
|
2nd floor A210 |
Session 1 “Support for Students with Disabilities and Inter-University Collaboration” Study support (reasonable accommodation, etc.) for students with disabilities is an issue that should be addressed by each university. On the other hand, the accumulation of information and know-how varies depending on the scale of the university and the track record of its initiatives, so it can be said that it is of great significance to promote mutually complementary initiatives through inter-university collaboration. In this subcommittee, we would like to share examples of inter-university collaboration in several regions and consider initiatives to promote support for students with disabilities through inter-university collaboration. |
|
3rd floor A308 |
Subcommittee 2 “What role can industry-government-academia collaboration expect in ‘regional revitalization’?” Regional revitalization is, in a nutshell, the Kasumigaseki version of town development that does not know the site. Sure enough, the subsidy distribution had no effect. Local governments that did not rely on the national government and were among the first to implement their own regional revitalization measures have achieved results. In such local governments, we will discuss how industry-government-academia collaboration works and whether it should be done. |
|
3rd floor A309 |
Session 3 “Considering Disaster Countermeasures through Collaboration between Universities and Various Stakeholders” In recent years, natural disasters due to the effects of global warming and other factors have increased, and there are particular concerns about the occurrence of Nankai Trough earthquakes and accompanying tsunamis. Since it is necessary to share information and provide mutual support not only with universities alone but also with various entities such as other universities, governments, industries, and local communities in order to prepare before a disaster, to ensure the “continuation of learning” and “quality of education” after a disaster, and to make efforts for reconstruction, this subcommittee will consider future university disaster prevention measures spun by the University Consortium while referring to these cases. |
|
3rd floor A310 |
Session 4 “Student Volunteer Activities in the Era of Wiz/After Corona” University consortiums across Japan are promoting various volunteer activities to create opportunities for student growth and learning, and to return the results of their activities, while taking advantage of the characteristics of the region and its consortium. |

Implementation Report
The purpose of the National University Consortium Research Exchange Forum is to exchange information on the efforts and research results of each university consortium in order to contribute to the development of higher education, and this year marks the 20th time.
The memorable 20th forum was co-hosted with the Fujinokuni Regional and University Consortium, a public interest incorporated association, and was held under the theme of “Creating a sustainable local community spun by a university consortium – A new vision for the post-corona era.” The event was held at Tokoha University’s Shizuoka Kusanagi Campus with the main theme of “Aiming to Create Value,” marking the first time it has been held in Shizuoka Prefecture.
234 university faculty members and education-related people participated from all over the country, and through keynote speeches, symposiums, and case reports and exchanges of opinions in breakout sessions, the event became a forum for exchanging information and reconsidering the ideal form of “university consortiums.”
