Universities’ R&D Expenditure in Japan
8
• Not much increased
• Comparing to 2000, the growth is less than 1.5 times. (Lowest growth in 7 countries)
Source of Expenditure on R&D in Universities in Japan • Industry has borne the expense on R&D in universities only 7.7% in Japan.
• In other countries like Germany and Korea, industries have borne the expense more than 10%.
Source of Expenditure on R&D in Industry in Japan • Japan government has borne the expense only 1%.
→ Academics and Industry on R&D are divided in Japan.
Contributing economic growth, we need the collaboration. JST Strategic Proposal “Boosting Social Innovation through Collaboration between Industry and University”, CRDS-FY2014-SP-06
