New Strategic Research System in Waseda University Research Congress Decision of strategic research policy Operating concrete plans Direction & Actions Data-based analysis for planning Center for Research Strategy Research Promotion Division Analysis & evaluation Research Council WTLO support Strategic thinking Strategic themes support Science & Engineering Participating in projects Social Science Policy and Economics Faculties

  4. Research Strategy Formulation “WasedaNext125 “ Practical Utilization of Knowledge Independence of Learning Waseda Research Breakthrough Build a system to promote strategic for whole university Research Council ・Establishment of research promotion system (for Priority Research Fields) ・ Support the research promotion University Research Initiatives ・ Human resource development and activation of research ・ Establishment of independent and sustainable research hub and platform through internal and external research funding

  5. Basic Concept of University Research Initiatives (URI) ◆Basic Concept of URI ①Based on WASEDANext125 ②Extends “Strength” and changes “Weakness” to “Strength” ③Activatesresearch and develop human resources. ④ Independence and Sustainability with Acquiring of External Funds ⑤Appeal of Research Results ◆Objective of URI ①Research with International Competitiveness ② Independent and Sustainable Research Hub and Platform ◆Research Promotion System Project Research Institutes for at least 5 years ◆Financial Support Support of 3-year-long financial support from university

Themes for University Research Initiatives for FY2011 “Recovery from the enormous disaster and formation of new social systems” New Social System Revival of East-Japan Formation City and Transportation Disaster Prevention system Power and Industry Reconstruction Infrastructure and Social Activities Natural Ecosystems Medical and Healthy Life Survey and Investigation

  10. Evaluation of University Research Initiatives (1) ◆Objective ○ To encourage the research activities in the university and in the research group for the direction of the various collaboration and innovation.   ○ To check the following issues along with the objective of the URI, in order to utilize the results for the improvement of the research management. ①Excellent research works with international competitiveness ②Independent and sustainable research hub & platform formation ◆Evaluation system ○ Execution of evaluation by the Evaluation Committee in the Research Council ○Sub-committees are formed depending on the research field ○Committee members are selected among RC members, peers from inside and outside of the university.

  11. Evaluation of University Research Initiatives (2) (1) Ex-ante Evaluation ○Objective: Adoption of research themes with planning along with the objective of URI  ○Index: Originality, Uniqueness for Waseda, Independent and sustainable research system, Academic and social impact  ○Result:Judgment on the suitability as URI research themes (2) Mid-term Evaluation ○Objective: Check of the progress of the research project and management.  ○Index: Originality, Uniqueness for Waseda, Independent and sustainable research system, Academic and social impact, Diverse human participation and development.  ○Result:Judgment on the continuation and promotion of the research project as URI research themes (3) Output Evaluation ○Objective: Check of the achievements of the goals and targets of the research projects.  ○Index: Research outputs, Academic and social impact, Independent and sustainable research system, Diverse human resource development.  ○Result:Judgment on the usefulness and development of the research projects in the future. (4) Ex-post Evaluation ○Objective: Check of the management and system of the URI schemes. ○Time: A few years after the end of the URI projects.

  14. Evaluation for Encouragement and Evolution to Innovation • Strategy formulation including distinct objectives is most important even if the basic or curiosity-driven research in the university. (2) Ex-ante evaluation including the scenario and roadmap is also very important. (3) Encouragement for the direction of the various collaboration and innovation is extremely important. (4) Evaluation should be performed for the evolution of the research program and projects.
