1) Studying future sustainable collaboration model
Future research body
The framework for future study towards future research body was sorted out
from “Role of industry-academia-government”, “Flow of sustainable fund”,“Human development” and “Collaboration among different fields” viewpoint,
based on the outcome studied in FY2018.
Function image of future research body
As an image of framework, Industry provides the budget andRole of industryacademia-government human resources, Academia deploys human resources, andGovernment supports additional budget (subsidy) to theorganization.

Flow of sustainable
fund

Study a flow of sustainable fund by industries’ funding and tax
incentive or subsidies by government.

Human development

Assume that human resources are provided by Industry anddeployed by Academia. Assume developing human resources
through demonstrative research to actual field & issues fromthe both practical science and theory.

Collaboration among
different fields

Academia will gather experts from various field as a hub, andnew generated issues will be addressed.

SIP自動走行システム HMIに係る研究開発および大規模実証実験

2) Creating the plan and arranging the establishment ofresearch bodies (Conduct after FY2020)
In this part, an establishment of research body which can face to overseas
research institutes (coordinated among Industry-Academia-Government), canaddress unique issues in Japan and can contribute keeping international
competitiveness in automotive industries, will be studied.
Towards the establishment, a time schedule will be planned and outline ofresearch body (legal personality, participation members, business scale,function, etc.) and required regulations will be established after reachedconsensus with relevant government ministries and agencies, relevantorganizations in each industries, etc., by coordinating with Cabinet Office.
These activities will be addressed in FY2020 or later.
