MESSC is working actively to expand university-industry cooperation and collaboration. In June 1997, it began to hold meetings of both the Consultative Committee for Research and Surveys Regarding University-Industry Cooperation and Collaboration and the Interministerial Conference on University-Industry Cooperation and Collaboration. The former committee brings together scientific experts and others to discuss the promotion of university-industry cooperation and collaboration from the specialist's perspective. The latter brings together representatives of government ministries and agencies involved in the promotion of university-industry cooperation to discuss comprehensive, strategic approaches to this task.
