主旨

大学はいずれの国や地域においても、アカデミアに根ざした独立した存在であるがゆえに、常に新たな知識や文化の提供者であり続けた。そして、現在欧米およびアジアの地域を問わず、そのような大学の知識の源流としての役割を、今後さらに発展させることが期待されている。現在の大学はイノベーションの源流を担う重要なプレーヤーであり、起業家的な大学像を期待することも珍しくはなくなっている。実際に米国においては大学から多くのベンチャー企業が生まれ、経済効果もGDPに無視できないインパクトを与えるまでに発展した。

一方で新たな知識を生み出す主体としての大学であり続けるためには、政府や産業組織とは異なるアカデミアとしての研究・教育活動の独立性を維持するためのガバナンスや、社会からの期待(Integrity)をより高めるためのマネジメントは欠かせない。

本シンポジウムでは、欧米アジアオセアニアなど世界のこのような社会と連携する大学において、社会との接点を担っている第一線のゲストをお招きして、世界の大学が社会と連携するその現状を紹介しつつ、そこで重要になるガバナンスやコンプライアンスなどのマネジメントに焦点を当てて議論を行う。あわせてこれらの社会との連携とガバナンス・コンプライアンスの車の両輪を支える人材育成についても議論を行う。
