Purpose of Establishment

In recent years, university collaboration, university collaboration, and university consortium initiatives have been promoted throughout the country. Collaborative education and research beyond universities have now become a part of university education as a form.
In addition to universities rooted in the region, the University Consortium as a regional organization established against the backdrop of the history, location, and characteristics of the region is also an initiative to realize the development of universities and the revitalization of the region.

Currently, higher education is a time when quality assurance is being questioned at a global level, and education and research are being evaluated by society. In other words, it is necessary to respond to the diverse educational needs of society and create distinctive education and research.
In such an era, university consortia, which are an important system that constitutes higher education worldwide, have the potential to realize new learning that can only be achieved through collaboration and the return of knowledge to society.
In this trend, we established the National University Consortium Council based on the idea of providing a new place for research exchange where we can share content with each other by converting the “regional power” cultivated in each region into “organizational power” with the aim of developing collaborative education and research in Japan, which is in the development stage.
