Building Process of Interdisciplinary Research Team for Comprehensive Social Problem Solving

Abstract

Collaboration between universities and local governments is one of the ways to solve current social issues in which various elements are intricately intertwined. The following two points are important for effectively and continuously promoting this system. ①On the university side, be aware of not only "social contribution" but also "research" (2) To conduct "interdisciplinary research" that goes beyond the framework of individual research areas. However, in order to tackle interdisciplinary research, there are various issues in "composition of research team" and "creation of research results". Based on the interviews with the researchers who were involved in successful cases in interdisciplinary research, we will clarify the process of effective progress in interdisciplinary research by using the modified grounded theory approach.
