Main

University staff fostering diverse connections

The work of university staff is made up of collaborations with various people inside and outside the university. Through collaboration, new possibilities are emerging for the development of education and research at universities, while partners are placing unprecedented expectations on universities. In addition, if we shift our perspective to the workplace, the staff members who work together at the university also have a wide variety of attributes in terms of nationality, gender, position, employment status, etc., and in order to organically connect individuals as a team, it is necessary to give various considerations and respect various values in communication.
Under these circumstances, university staff are required to create and nurture new value by connecting people and organizations from different positions.
In this SD Forum, we will think together about how to “collaborate” with a diverse group of people from different positions beyond the framework of the past, how to connect this to issues such as the revitalization of the workplace, the development of academic research and organizations at universities, the growth of students, and the revitalization of local communities, and the power of staff that will be questioned in this process.
