Abstract
The role of university-industry relationships has been increased recently from the point of new industry creation and job creation in Japan. This paper aims to clarify the trend of cooperative research, contract research, endowment research, and to analyze university-industry cooperative research according to time series using fact data.
The result shows that numbers of university-industry cooperative research and contract research have been increased steadily year by year. But a remarkable change has not seen about endowment research in the 1990s. The number of cooperative research with large companies in the vicinity of the university whose budget of research collaboration is large, has been increasing based on Yokohama National University's data. It is thought that industries have come to request a more concrete result to university-industry joint-research. It is shown that there is a discriminative tendency between the received money and distance of university-company for type of industries.
