Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the management method of the joint industry-university research project with private companies and local governments, which we have been working on for the purpose of “practical education with emphasis on contact with the society.” First, we describe the characteristics of collaborative research projects in higher education institutions in terms of “project members,” “problem setting,” “knowledge and skills,” and “handling of data and publication of results.” Next, we describe the management method of the collaborative research project that we have been working on. Specifically, it consists of three phases: problem extraction, data analysis, and verification and operation. Finally, we introduce a case study of a joint research project with a private company. Moreover, we summarize some insights into data science education gained through the operation of the project.
