Collaborative Research
The university provides a system for researchers from private companies to collaborate with its researchers on
subjects of mutual interest in equal partnerships. Under this system, the companies and the university mutually pool
researchers, research expenses, and facilities to enable the effective use of the universityʼs human resources andR&D capabilities. Depending on the type of research, the following two approaches are available:

1

The university hosts a researcher from a private company, and collaborative
research on a subject of mutual interest is conducted on campus.

Researcher sentfrom private company

2

The private company and the university divide the necessary tasks, andwork separately at their own premises on a subject of mutual interest.

Dividing research tasks on
a subject of mutual interest*In either approach, the research expenses and other necessary expenses must be provided to the university.

Industry-Academia Collaboration Courses andIndustry-Academia Collaboration Research Laboratories
This type of collaboration entails the formation of an industry-academia collaborative organization on campus using
funds provided by a private company. In comparison to other forms of collaborative research, this method provides
for the establishment of a more stable foundation and facilitates regular close contact among the researchers
working together on the project, as well as their contact with other researchers at Kyoto University. These benefits
can significantly enhance the development and progress of the research. It is also possible for researchers from thecompany to be stationed on campus to conduct the collaborative research.
The system enables multiple departments to jointly establish an industry-academia collaboration course or researchlaboratory, and to use funds other than research collaboration expenses to operate it. The system also enables theresearchers to engage in educational activities through collaborative research.

Comprehensive Collaborative Research(at the Organizational Level)

This method enables collaborative research to be implemented between multiple Kyoto University researchers andeither a single company or multiple companies (including companies from different sectors). Research conducted via
this method is not constrained to a specific area of research or specific researchers. This approach seeks to foster
innovation in diverse fields of research̶from the humanities and social sciences to the natural sciences̶andexplore new ways to benefit society.

Review of Indirect Expenses (management costs)
for Collaborative Research

In addition to the direct expenses required for collaborative research, partner companies were required to
pay an amount equivalent to 10 % of the direct expenses as indirect expenses (management costs) tocover legal services, such as intellectual property management and contract consultation. The amount oft h e in dire ct ex p e n s e s h a s n ow b e e n rais e d f ro m 10 % to 3 0 % o r m o re of t h e a m o u nt of t h e dire ct

While promoting industry-government-academia collaboration activities, the university will endeavor to implement management
reforms, including diversifying sources of revenue, in order to strengthen its financial base and facilitate a more stable andautonomous form of management.

GeneralIntroduction of the Principal Investigator (PI)
Personnel Expense System

To increase the value generated by industry-government-academia collaboration, the university has introduced
a new system whereby fees are charged at an hourly rate for the working hours of PIs engaged in researchcollaboration. The new system has been introduced from the perspective of assigning appropriate value to the“knowledge” of researchers engaged in industry-government-academia collaboration activities.
The revenue gained from the new system will be
used for the d evelo pment of the u niversit yʼsresearch environment to enable researchers toconcentrate more on their research and improvetheir performance, and for securing diverse andtale nte d h u ma n reso u rces to stre ng th e n th euniversityʼs research capabilities.
Through this system, the university will create avirtuous cycle whereby excellent researchers canbe more active while maintaining sustainability
and improving the research capabilities of bothresearchers and the university.
The university will continue to strengthen its
financial base by diversifying sources of revenue
in order to:・Develop a stable and autonomous management
infrastructure
・Further promote and enhance industry-governmentacademia collaboration activities
・Strengthen research capabilities
・Maintain and maximize research results.
