2 Training and Securing of Researchers
(3) Promotion of the mobility of researchers
Exchanging researchers within the university community or with
institutions organizations outside this community is extremely important for
the mutual heightening of the research impetus.
Concerning faculty members at universities, comments are made
about the lack of eagerness to widely recruit capable staff. This results in
teachers taking advantage of their guaranteed status and neglecting their research
activities. The mobility of researchers, therefore, should be further promoted
by such means as the expansion of visiting professorships and joint research
systems, the encouragement of open-door policies of research institutes, and
the promotion of cooperative research between universities and industrial or
governmental research institutes. The introduction of new employment systems
such as the optional term in office and the contract appointment should also
be explored.
