About the 20th National University Consortium Research Exchange Forum

Business Overview

In order to contribute to the development of higher education, we exchange information on the initiatives and research results of each university consortium.

Outline of the event

theme

Creating a sustainable community through a university consortium
~Aiming to create new value with an eye on the post-corona era~

Purpose of the Tournament

Today, universities and other institutions of higher education are playing a variety of roles, not only in research, educating young people, and producing human resources, but also as “bases of knowledge” that create innovation and as a leader in local culture.
On the other hand, in order to respond to the mounting issues such as the declining birthrate and aging society, global environmental problems, new coronavirus infections, and the shift to a digital society, and to create a sustainable society, it is believed that it can only be realized through exchanges involving the local community, not only with higher education institutions alone, but also with various entities such as higher education institutions, government, and industry.
Therefore, the purpose of this forum is to consider the various forms of collaboration in which the university consortium has been involved in order to create a sustainable community in the future, and to look ahead to the future of the university consortium with the aim of creating new value in the post-corona era.
