Applications for the 19th National University Consortium Research Exchange Forum are now open! (7/20~9/30)

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 event

Theme

Aiming for the Enrichment of Higher Education and the Development of Local Communities
~Exploring the Infinite Possibilities of University Consortiums~

Purpose
of the tournament
The reconstruction of higher education and contributions to local communities through industry-academia-government collaboration as indicated in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "Grand Design for Higher Education toward 2040" are the very themes that "Gakuen City Hachioji" has been working on for about half a century. As universities and other institutions return to the city center and a new campus image accompanying the shift to online due to the coronavirus pandemic is being considered, we would like to review the characteristics of "suburban campuses" that are different from "urban campuses" and the value of "university consortiums," and make this a place for people nationwide to think about the direction that the projects implemented by the university consortium should aim for and the means to achieve them.

Day 2 

Venue Breakout Session ⏰10:00-12:00

Room C on the 1st floor

Subcommittee 1 "Trials and Issues for Human Resource Development for Regional Revitalization"
(Contact: Academic, Cultural and Industrial Network Tama)
"Regional revitalization" is being tackled by the public and private sectors. But the results remain generally poor. I wonder why. One of the most important strategies for creating regional attractiveness is "human resource development," but it is necessary to thoroughly examine whether it is being realized. Including the items discussed by the Keidanren subcommittee, we will consider the possibilities and challenges of a business plan that makes full use of people, goods, money, and IT that takes advantage of the strengths of industry-academia-government collaboration pioneering at Network Tama.
Presenter

Subcommittee 2 "Promotion of Diversity at Higher Education Institutions" (in charge: Higher Education Consortium Mie)
For three years from the first fiscal year of Reiwa, we took the opportunity of a project commission from Mie Prefecture to plan classes and open lectures on diversity, and worked to spread the idea of promoting diversity throughout the prefecture. Teachers from a consortium that encompasses a variety of school types and faculties took up a variety of themes. In addition to reviewing the project, we will consider how inter-university collaboration should be in the university consortium and how to develop business results.
