Remaking Universities: Continuing Reform of Higher Education
Chapter 4 Toward Further University Reform
Section 3. Responding to the Demands of Globalization
1. Creating Educational and Research Centers That Contribute to the World


As internationalization progresses, Japan needs to make an international contribution in education and research that matches its expanding economic power and the rising level of its scientific research. By conducting vigorous educational and research activities in line with the progress of scientific research, universities are expected to inform the world of their original research achievements and to train people who can work successfully in the international community.

>From this perspective, it is also important to develop exchange programs of teachers and students and to improve admission systems for foreign students. It is likely that Japanese universities will increasingly be expected to play a leading role in joint international research and international research conferences on issues that are of concern to many countries. In addition to the efforts made by individual universities described earlier, fulfillment of these expectations requires the creation of improved administrative organizations capable of supporting internationalization and the achievement of greater flexibility in such areas as personnel management.

It is necessary to create an educational and research environment that enables Japan's universities to make steady progress toward the fulfillment of their role as educational and research centers that contribute to the world.
