Construction of a Facility Sharing System in University of Miyazaki

—Development of a common facility management system linked on-line to existing campus management system—

Abstract

Recently, many universities have been working to promote the sharing of research facilities and equipment in Japan. University of Miyazaki is also developing a sharing service system of those through two projects supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. In addition, we have established the Miyazaki Facility Network, in which public research institutions in Miyazaki Prefecture participate, and are working to create an environment that can provide mutually advanced analysis technologies that contribute to regional revitalization.

In this paper, we introduce a common facilities management system linked on-line to the existing financial accounting and the researcher database developed by University of Miyazaki, and describe the relationship with the administration policy of our university and examples of utilization in Miyazaki prefecture.
