Service Organizational Cooperation

Tohoku University is promoting the inter-organizational model  in which companies and the university establish an inter-organizational structure and engage in a wide range of collaboration activities, with the aim of maximizing co-creation value and achieving sustainable growth.

In the inter-organizational model, we strive to optimize the activities by regularly monitoring the activity status and responding flexibly to changes in the status.

In April 2021, we established the “Co-Creation Research Center”, a collaboration scheme  for creating an activity base for the inter-organizational model. This enables us to flexibly and sustainably engage in co-creation activities that further clarify the purpose of the activity and the roles of both parties.
 

 

We aim to promote co-creation activities that utilize the university resources to the fullest extent through Organizational Cooperation.
