3. Contents of the report

(1) Research on the role of inter-university collaborative organizations in supporting students with disabilities at universities and other institutions

Summary of Research Academic support for students with disabilities (reasonable accommodations in education, etc.) is an important issue for each university, but at present, there is no small difference in the status of initiatives. On the other hand, due to the nature of the field that is in a transitional period, there is a limit to the accumulation of expertise, know-how, resources, etc. that can be handled by each university alone, so we believe that a scheme in which each university and other institutions work together to solve problems is effective.
The purpose of this research is to investigate and research the efforts of inter-university collaboration organizations to promote support for students with disabilities at each university.
Principal Investigator Kyoto University Student Services Organization Associate Professor Jun Murata

 

(2) Research on the actual state of long-term community collaboration activities by university students and local organizations in Kyoto City and how to support them

Summary of Research This study objectively clarifies the actual situation of long-term community collaboration activities between university students and local organizations in Kyoto City, and examines how universities and related organizations involved in these activities should provide support in the future.
Specifically, through questionnaires, we will identify student organizations (seminars and university-approved organizations) that are engaged in long-term community collaboration activities in Kyoto City, and clarify the factors and issues that led to the establishment of these organizations in the community, mainly through interviews. In addition, while learning from the knowledge of advanced experiences from all over the country, we will consider the role that universities and their affiliated organizations should play and how to effectively support university students who are engaged in ongoing community collaboration activities.
Principal Investigator Kyoto Tachibana University, Faculty of Business Administration, Department of Business Administration, Assistant Professor Masayuki Ota

(1) New development of the Kyoto brand in attracting international students
~Development of a model case based on the University Consortium Kyoto~ (2020 project)

Summary of Research The purpose of this survey is to further promote the internationalization of universities in the Kyoto region from the perspective of accepting international students. Through questionnaire surveys and interviews, we organized the current situation and issues of the member universities of the University Consortium Kyoto and investigated precedents. Based on these findings, we will propose a model case in which the efforts of each university and the efforts of inter-university collaboration organizations can synergize and contribute to the expansion of international student attraction.

(2) Social network analysis of the role structure of the University Consortium Kyoto member universities in the regional network (2020 project)

Summary of Research In this survey, the network analysis and statistical analysis of a wealth of data on social-related capital, industrial-related capital, human capital, intellectual capital, and cultural capital collected through the organizational data of the University Consortium Kyoto, the input-output table of Kyoto Prefecture, a questionnaire survey of member universities, and the “Kyoto Prefectural University Brand Survey” of the Kyoto regional brand were used to determine that the University Consortium Kyoto and its member universities are responsible for the regional industries and cultural capital of Kyoto. We have clarified how they contribute to the production and maintenance of local cultural resources from multiple perspectives.
Principal Investigator Kyoto Sangyo University, Faculty of Contemporary Social Studies, Professor, Jun Kanemitsu

 

(3) Re-Exploring Kyoto’s Core Values: Toward the Future of Unit Interchangeability (FY2021 Task)

Summary of Research Amid the declining birthrate and aging society and the progress of globalization, there is a movement to re-examine the essence of inter-university collaboration along with individual reforms at higher education institutions, such as the introduction of the university collaboration promotion corporation system.
This survey makes recommendations for the future of the credit transfer system, based on the fact that the credit transfer program of the University Consortium Kyoto has been conducted as a learning system that reflects the regional characteristics and advantages of the university town and Kyoto.

The 2019 Foundation-designated research project report meeting was held

On March 3, 2020, we held a meeting to report on the research results of the 2019 University Consortium Kyoto Foundation. Twenty-five years have passed since the foundation was founded, and the social situation surrounding the foundation and the university has changed significantly. Therefore, with the aim of contributing to the review and improvement of projects, new development and sophistication, and the provision of information to Foundation member schools, the Foundation has established designated research topics since fiscal 2015 and has been conducting research by researchers in specialized fields.

In FY2019, research groups on two themes were selected, and their research activities and research results over the past year were presented.
At the debriefing session, visitors listened with great interest to the research on themes such as recurrent education and SD, which are emphasized in higher education in recent years, and there was a lively question-and-answer session

Theme 1) The Role of the University Consortium Kyoto in the Promotion of Recurrent Education in Kyoto: Toward the Establishment of the Kyoto Model
