We are looking for research groups that analyze and consider from multiple perspectives! ～
In order to make the most of Kyoto’s “university knowledge” in Kyoto City’s policies and to strengthen efforts to solve the problems of city government, the University Consortium Kyoto will conduct a new “Multifaceted Municipal Administration Research Project Utilizing ‘University Knowledge'” in collaboration with Kyoto City from this fiscal year.
Specifically, we will establish a research group consisting of multiple units that study each field of research on the research theme designated by Kyoto City, and analyze and discuss it from multiple perspectives.
Ultimately, the results of the research will be compiled into a report and linked to the policies of Kyoto City, which will be utilized in solving issues in the city government and will be disseminated nationwide as a Kyoto model.Therefore, we would like to inform you that we are recruiting research groups as follows.
