How University-Industry Cooperative Research Committees Are EstablishedUniversity-Industry Cooperative Research Committees are usually set up by members of the Committees for Research Promotion in Specialized Areas or Frontier R&D Committees, or by members of other research groups. In any case, the organizing researchers must apply to JSPS for approval to establish a committee under this program. The process is as follows:　　 ⑴ The organizers discuss with the staff of JSPS’s University-Industry Cooperation and Research

Promotion Division in advance the objectives, activities, budget, and membership makeup of the proposed committee. Generally, one committee is made up of about 30 members （15 each from academia and industry） and meets about four times a year.

　　 ⑵ Proposals are reviewed and decided upon by the Advisory Council, which meets twice during the fiscal year （around September and February）, Consultation with JSPS should be at least three months in advance of dates. Committees start their operations upon approval.

The normal operating period for University-Industry Cooperative Research Committees is five years, which may be extended with the approval of the Advisory Council.

Bridging academic seeds with industrial needs

Originally established in 1982, an Advisory Council （chair: Yasuharu Suematsu; sub-chair: Shin-ichi Hirano）, considers new and budding fields of research that can be advanced to the benefit of society throuth university-industry collaboration. To comprehensively study and research such fields once identified, the Advisory Council establishes the following bi-sectoral committees:・ Committees for Research Promotion in Specialized Areas （3-year duration; funded by JSPS） and Frontier

Research and Development Committees （3-year duration; partially funded by dues from University-Industry Cooperative Research Committees）

・ University-Industry Cooperative Research Committees, which are 5 years in duration and funded through dues paid by their industrial members.

Advisory Council

University-Industry Cooperative Research Committees provide an interface between academia and industry for comprehensive collaboration in merging basic and applied research. As such, the committees accord their members, frontline researchers from the two sectors, a platform for carrying out research and other collaborative activities. Their operations are supported by dues paid by the members from industry.The first committee was launched in 1933, with over 200 more to follow. As of April 2018, 70 committees, Comprising some 4,500 members （2,800 from academia and 1,700 from industry） are currently in active operation.JSPS provides partial support for international symposia organized by the committees and publishing their research resulys.

University-Industry Cooperative Research Committees

As Japan’s core agency for advancing science and technology, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science carries out a program set forth in the government’s S&T Basic Plan, which along with funding scientific research, fostering researchers and furthering international scientific exchange, also mandates providing a system of support for university-industry cooperation.

In pursuit of this mandate, JSPS establishes University-Industry Cooperative Research Committees whose memberships comprise frontline reserchers from both the academic and industrial sectors. Guided by the free consepts of the participating researchers, these committees work to advance inter-sectoral collaboration in promising fields of future technological innovation.

193th Measurement and Characterization Platform

There exists many urgent issues related to measurement and characterization technologies, such as how to respond quickly to individual needs for higher sophistication and how to utilize the rapid progress being made in big data and AI technologies. This committee will work to create a platform that brings together stakeholders who provide measurement/analysis equipment with stakeholders who utilize them. In so doing, our aim is to contribute to solving the aforementioned issues by advancing the discussion toward realizing a “measurement and characterization platform.”

Taking a perspective of equipment （infrastructure） used in measurement and characterization, the first step of our study will focus on CPS （Cyber Physical System） type technology, which will characterize next generation measurement/analysis equipment. From the viewpoint of knowledge （content） acquired by measurement and characterization technologies, we will also examine the quality of measurement/analysis data, such as their retroactivity, reliability, and reproducibility in AI applications. Ultimately, we aim to contribute to the manufacturing industry by spawning advanced utilization of measurement and characterization technologies.

194th Advanced Molecular Transformations by Molecular Catalysts

There is an urgent need in today’s society for a chemical element-based strategy to advance the use of scarce and depleted resources and for building sustainable recycling-based communities. To meet this demand, Japan is expected to develop catalytic systems based on its leading-edge organcatalysts and to pioneer innovative technologies by realizing advanced molecular transformations via “molecular catalysts” related to metal-complex and hybrid catalysts. To accomplish this, it will be necessary to institute university-industry collaboration through which to advance vigorous research and development initiatives. This committee is established to resolutely advance R&D on “molecular catalysts,” thereby creating a new vision of Japan as a uniquely technological and highly innovative manufacturer.

New Value Creation of Autonomous and Cooperative-Type Advanced Measurement Using AI

Exponential advances in computer technology and the advent of a network environment that permeates the individual level are generating “Big Data,” giving rise to a transformation in societal structure synthesized with artificial intelligence （AI）. New value structures to be produced by fusion with AI pose a challenge to Japan’s high competitiveness in Inspection, Measurement and Analysis technologies. To obtain yet-unknown technological solutions for the future, this Committee explores prospective operating systems that incorporate both autonomous- and cooperative-type advanced measurement geared to each type of equipment technology. Accordingly, the Committee is working to secure for Japan a posture of competitive excellence through completely brand-new modes of “Solution and Operation” that transcend current equipment modalities.

Diverse STEM Workforce Engagement Research Committee—Investigation of Qualitative Changes in Academia and Industry Derived by Participation of Women Researchers and Engineers

It has long been exclaimed that diversity is connected to the creation of innovation. The government’s 5 th Basic Science and Technology Plan provides an index on the ratio of female researchers to be employed as a measure toward strengthening the foundational capacity of Japan’s prowess in science and technology innovation. This, however, has invited criticism about the significance of merely setting numerical goals. Transparent evaluation criteria are sought to complement the establishment of such numerical goals. Various scattered examples can be seen of past contributions by female researchers and engineers to innovation. This Committee will carry out a qualitative analysis of these cases with an aim to index （make visible） common factors among them that contribute to innovation. The Committee will provide basic guidelines for establishing a multi-angular system that leverages the capabilities of female researchers and engineers along with those of various other people engaged in the industrial and educational domains and for promoting positive action toward establishing a transparent system of evaluation.
