University-industry cooperation innovation personnel training consortium.

12 universities such as the University of Tokyo , Kyoto and raises the organization to participate in research and development enterprise of science graduate students in conjunction with the eight companies such as Toray Industries and Mitsubishi Electric . To create a database to postgraduate students of 20,000 people , will be dispatched to the company a total of 2000 people in three years . Aim to foster a corporate human resources beyond the boundaries of disciplines , to raise the power of innovation in Japan. Likely to also be a way of adoption substantial , the nature of employment of science graduate students also diversification is large .
The 22nd , eight companies and 12 universities to launch Institute of mediation that the dispatch of graduate students in the company " university-industry cooperation innovation personnel training consortium ." Mitsubishi Heavy Industries , Panasonic , Hitachi Zosen Corporation , Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. , Daikin Industries , a company DMG Mori Seiki else . University to participate Tokyo Kogyo , Chiba , Osaka , Hokkaido , Tohoku , Tsukuba , Kobe , Kyushu , Keio University , Waseda also .
The database of personal information of graduate students of science , engineering and agriculture system of about 20,000 people that belong to the Ph.D. MSc in 12 universities , to create a system that companies can search for graduate students from such research field . Companies register the contents of the research and development that is left to the graduate students . Graduate students to be able to submit a resume .
Using this system , companies accept 2000 people over the next three years . Called also small and medium-sized and overseas subsidiaries of Japanese companies , 40-50 companies to increase in three years participating companies . If you pay one million yen a year consortium , companies can participate .
2-3 months dispatch period . Tsutsumi Senior Vice President of Mitsubishi Electric headed by director of the companies that " want to experience in application development of the company as well as basic research of university students ." Unlike ordinary working experience to know the company , I leave a part of the development of products that companies market to market to students . There is also aim enclosing as an employee of the future excellent graduate students .
It has been pointed out areas of research graduate subdivided , expertise becomes strong enough to advance the master's program , the doctoral program , on the contrary , applying force and has become poor graduate students to develop research . Them to know the needs of the enterprise and the society to students through work experience in the field of product development , the framework of this time , aim to turn out people who defy the boundaries of a professional . I said that it is an attempt to foster human resources that produce innovation and the University of industry work together .
Companies to to focus on growth areas and environmental health , medical , and energy , it is necessary to collect a wide variety of human resources expert from various fields . For example, new materials technology and robotics are essential with medical knowledge to practical use a surgical robot to fine-grained motion than the human hand . Framework of this time is responsible for the liaison of human resources .
Evaluation is difficult when you try to gather students from different areas of the core business of traditional companies . Expertise is growing year by year , is fragmented field of study , it is because hard to understand even in research theme in the art to which similar . I was looking for students to rely on Tsute of university professors in the past.
I'm struggling to job hunting in the heart young researchers who completed the doctoral student also side " post-doc " . The government raised a large number of postdoctoral by advocating world leader in science and technology , but enough to do research positions at the University is not enough , it sticks to time-limited employment of 3-5 years . To get hired in the company , and that age is on the wall in many cases. I feel like a good attempt I will for both parties . By all means, I want you to move the concrete .



東京大や京都大など12の大学は、三菱電機や東レなど８社と連携して理系の大学院生を企業の研究開発に参加させる組織を立ち上げる。２万人の大学院生を対象にデータベースをつくり、３年間で計2000人を企業に派遣する。専門分野の垣根を越えた人材を企業で育成し、日本の技術革新の力を底上げする狙い。実質的な採用の道にもなり、理系院生の就職のあり方も多様化する公算が大きい。
12大学と８企業は22日、企業に大学院生の派遣をあっせんする一般社団法人「産学協働イノベーション人材育成コンソーシアム」を立ち上げる。企業はほかに三菱重工業、パナソニック、日立造船、村田製作所、ダイキン工業、ＤＭＧ森精機。大学は東京工業、千葉、大阪、北海道、東北、筑波、神戸、九州、慶応義塾、早稲田も参加する。
　12大学の博士・修士課程に所属する約２万人の理学・工学・農学系の大学院生の個人情報をデータベース化し、企業が研究分野などから院生を検索できるシステムをつくる。企業も院生に任せる研究開発の内容を登録。院生が履歴書を提出できるようにする。
　このシステムを使い、今後３年間で2000人を企業が受け入れる。日本企業の海外現地法人や中小にも呼びかけ、参加企業も３年で40～50社まで増やす。企業はコンソーシアムに年100万円支払えば、参加できる。
　派遣期間は２～３カ月。企業側の代表理事を務める三菱電機の堤常務執行役は「学生に大学の基礎研究だけでなく企業の応用開発も経験させたい」という。企業を知る普通の就業体験と違い、学生に企業が市場に売り出す商品の開発の一部を任せる。優秀な院生を将来の社員として囲い込む狙いもある。
　大学院の研究分野は細分化し、修士課程、博士課程に進むほど専門性が強まり、逆に、研究を開発に応用する力が院生に乏しくなっているとの指摘がある。今回の枠組みは、商品開発の現場で働く体験を通じて学生に企業や社会のニーズを知ってもらい、専門の枠にとらわれない人材を輩出する狙い。産業界と大学が連携してイノベーションを生み出す人材を育てる試みといえる。
　企業が健康・医療や環境、エネルギーといった成長分野に力を入れるには、様々な専門分野から多彩な人材を集めなければならない。例えば人の手よりもきめ細かな動きをする手術ロボットを実用化するには医学の知識とともにロボット工学や新素材の技術が不可欠。今回の枠組みが人材の橋渡し役を担う。
　企業が従来の本業と異なる分野から学生を集めようとすると評価が難しい。研究分野は年々、細分化されて専門性が強まっており、似た分野の研究テーマでも理解しにくいからだ。従来は大学教授のつてを頼りに学生をさがしていた。
　学生側も博士課程を終えた若手研究者「ポスドク」を中心に就職活動に苦しんでいる。政府は科学技術立国を標榜して大勢のポスドクを育てたが、大学の研究職は足りず、３～５年の期限つき雇用につくのが精いっぱい。企業に雇ってもらうには、年齢などが壁になることが多い。両者にとって良い試みのような気がしますね。ぜひ、具体的な動きをしてほしいですね。
