The present paper intends to summarize the basic ideas of the Industry/Academia Collabora-tion from the standpoint of the industries. What is important for successful collaboration is the achievement of three viewpoints including, “establishment of better communication between univer-sities and companies”, “flexibility to use the results from the Industry/Academia Collaboration” and “transparency of the rules for the use of the universities’ research results”. And what is indispensa-ble to realize these viewpoints is a set of three conditions, namely; (1) a sole university organization which has functions and authorities for promoting the collaboration; (2) flexibility in contracts between universities and companies; and (3) handling of universities’ research results in accordance with its patent policy. |
