Abstract

As activities of regional contribution by university and regional revitalization by local government, there are increasing activities of university–local government collaboration to solve regional problems.The collaboration still has many issues of fumbling for better management to find a regional problem and building a relation between university, local government and stakeholders. Investigation on finding and solving method and relation with stakeholders revealed the situation of the collaboration. For establishing a better system to manage the collaboration, it would need one unified managing organization with double management, one is high level management as what is the aim of the project or who is the project be for and the other is practical level one as how to improve the result of experiments or which is a proper method.
