Purpose of establishment
In recent years, university collaboration and university consortium initiatives have been promoted in collaboration with universities, local communities, and industry all over the country. Collaborative education and research that transcends universities has now become a part of university education as a form.
In addition to local universities, university consortiums as regional organizations established against the background of local history, location and characteristics are, in other words, deeply connected with higher education institutions and local communities. It is also an initiative to realize the revitalization of
Today, we live in an era in which quality assurance in higher education is being called into question on a global level, and education and research are being called into question by society’s evaluation. In other words, we are required to create distinctive education and research that meet the diverse educational needs of society.
In this era, the university consortium, which is an important system that constitutes higher education worldwide, has the potential to realize new learning and the return of knowledge to society, which can only be realized through collaboration. .
In such a trend, we aim to develop collaborative education and research in Japan, which is still in the development stage, and by converting the “regional power” that has been cultivated in various places into “organizational power”, we can share the content with each other. Based on the idea of providing a new venue for research exchange, we established the National University Consortium Council.
