Proposal of a new industry-university collaboration scheme based on a problem co-creating type technology circulation model

要旨

In this paper, we proposed a new industry-university collaboration model that effectively links university technology seeds to product development. In retrospect, development of technology seeds has been conducted mainly in most case by universities, making it difficult for such seeds to be applied directly to the technical challenges faced by companies. One of the major issues behind the difficulties is due to lack of sharing and understanding of the technological challenges by the university professors that the companies face. A new industry-university collaboration model consists of mechanism analysis by visualization of existing technologies to systematize and model phenomena, and research of new technology seeds based on models and practical development of the technology seeds will be jointly carried out by university professors and company engineers. In order to carry out this industry-university collaboration activities, regular study meetings are held to obtain the knowledge of university professors from various research fields, and technology development management is being implemented to supervise these collaboration activities. Proposed new industry-university collaboration model has actually proved that it is possible to develop the technology seeds to the practical level in multiple product development.
