Study Groups, Consortia and Networking
As part of its plaza activities, which precede industry-academia partnership planning the University of Tokyo is preparing schemes that allow industry and academia to discuss major issues and concepts and narrow them down to specific, individual tasks. Topics include those in which multiple businesses share an interest and those in which the University has deerned it appropriate to solicit participation from multiple businesses. The University hopes to attain satisfactory results through this step, such as joint research, project proposals, applications for national projects, and policy recommendations.
