特集に寄せて：日本の大学の変容と展望

抄録

This special issue will focus on the "transformation of the university" and give an overview of its historical background and what it has brought about. Based on the changes in systems and policies surrounding universities over the past 30 to 40 years, we will organize and examine how universities have changed and what has happened as a result from various perspectives. In particular, we will approach the issue from the angles of "researchers," "universities," and "industry". This issue basically depends on a review of literature and data as research methodology, but also includes interviews and historical case studies.
