Outline of the 18th National University Consortium Research Exchange Forum
theme
Purpose of the Tournament
In the government’s “Grand Design for Higher Education for 2040,” universities are required to actively reform through regional collaboration platforms, and as our lives are shifting to a new normal centered on new technologies due to the recent coronavirus pandemic, universities are also required to have a new way of being with an eye on the (after) coronavirus.
On the other hand, the University Consortium, as a university collaboration organization, has been promoting various activities in collaboration with industry and government with the aim of solving problems unique to the region and revitalizing and developing the region, while making the most of its characteristics.
In response to these major changes in the times, this forum will focus on what the University Consortium can accomplish and the possibilities it can open up now, and will be an opportunity to reconsider the significance of the existence of the University Consortium and its value.

Implementation Report
This year marks the 18th anniversary of the National University Consortium Research Exchange Forum, which aims to exchange information on the initiatives and research results of each university consortium in order to contribute to the development of higher education.
This year’s event was held entirely online (Zoom) for the first time, with the main theme of “Rethinking and Reviving the University Consortium ~What Possibilities the University Consortium Can Open Up in the New Normal Era~”.
Continuing from last year, 476 university faculty members and educators from all over Japan participated in the event of the spread of the new coronavirus infection, and through keynote speeches, case reports and exchanges of opinions at breakout sessions, it was an opportunity to exchange information on the state of the “Consortium of Universities” once again.
Part 1: In the keynote speech “Rethinking and Reviving University Management through Management Reform,” Mr. Toshimitsu Oishi (President and President, Osaka Electro-Communication University) took the stage.
Part 1: Following the keynote speeches, Mr. Toshimitsu Oishi (President, President, Osaka Electro-Communication University), Mr. Masaki Yada (Manager, Promotion Division, Planning Office, Policy Planning Department, Osaka Prefectural Policy Planning Department), and Mr. Junichi Higashi (Manager, Life Science and Sports Industry Promotion, Industry Department, Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry) took the stage at the symposium “The Current Status and Future Requirements of Collaborative Initiatives in Industry, Industry, and Academia.” (Coordinator: Takahiro Hisashi (Professor, Faculty of Social Sciences, University))
In the online presentation of the [Poster Session], 10 member organizations of the National University Consortium Council made presentations.
