産学連携による開発途上国の 産学連携による開発途上国の 大学工学部
平成１９年度「国際協力イニシアティブ」 教育協力拠点形成事業 産学連携による開発途上国の 大学工学部の機能強化 平成１９年度事業実施報告書 平成 20 年 3 月 国立大学法人豊橋技術科学大学 要約 国の経済発展を実現するためには､産業競争力の向上を効果的に図る必要があり、我が国におい ては、経済発展の一つの要因として、産学連携が自立発展的な産業競争力向上に有効に機能した。 しかしながら、開発途上国では、産学連携を効果的に促進するのに必要な、大学における高い研 究能力及び技術力、産業界の研究開発への高い意欲、及び政府の支援体制といった要因が必ずし も整っていない。 本事業では、開発途上国の工学系大学の教育・研究能力の向上、社会貢献の促進を図る手段と して、産学連携を取り上げ、そのモデル事業を、スリランカ国モロツワ大学で実施し、開発途上 国用の産学連携のモデル事業の構築を図る。 第１年度となる平成１９年度は、モロツワ大学教職員の産学連携にかかるキャパシティー・デ ィベロップメントを図るため、以下の活動をモデル事業として実施し、モデル事業としての妥当 性、有効性、効率性、インパクト、自立発展性について検証した。 （１） モデル大学での産学連携の現状と課題の把握 本年度の研修実施前の段階で、モデルとなるスリランカ国モロツワ大学における産学連携の現状 と問題点について調査し、モロツワ大学関係者間で共通認識を持つとともに、現地に派遣する研 修の講師に情報提供し、モロツワ大学で必要となる具体的な研修内容について検討を行った。 （２） 産学連携の対象となる企業の把握 スリランカ国の国家開発計画を踏まえ、スリランカ国内の産学連携の意欲がある企業の、大学 との連携ニーズについて調査することで、(1) 繊維・アパレル、(2) 鋳物・鋳造、(3) 電気・電 子部品、(4) 紅茶、(5) ゴム、(６) セラミックスの６つの分野で産学連携のニーズが高く、大学 と企業との共同研究のニーズが高いことを確認した。 （３） モデル研修１：知的財産基礎セミナー 日本の知的財産法、アジアにおける知的財産整備の状況について、ワークショップ形式による講 義をモロツワ大学で実施した。対象者はモロツワ大学関係者だけでなく、スリランカ国内の企業 担当者、スリランカ政府関係者も含めることで、モロツワ大学での知的財産の整備に関し、民間 企業や政府の観点から、日本や諸外国のケースを踏まえ、具体的な改善策について活発な議論を 行った。 （４） モデル研修２：産学連携と技術経営基礎セミナー 日本における産学連携の流れ、技術開発における技術経営、産学連携の重要性、日本での産学連 携の具体例について、モロツワ大学で講義を行った。対象者はモデル研修１と同様、モロツワ大 学関係者だけでなく、スリランカ国内の企業担当者、スリランカ政府関係者も含めた。モデル研 修２の締めくくりで、日本における産学連携ケースを踏まえ、スリランカでどのような産学連携 が可能か、大学、企業、政府の関係者からプレゼンテーションが行われ、関係者の間で産学連携 に向けた具体的なアクションのイメージが形成された。 （５）モデル研修３：産学連携コーディネータによる OJT 研修 豊橋技術科学大学で、実際に産学連携コーディネータと企業を訪問し、産学連携を立ち上げる OJT 研修を行った。対象者は、モロツワ大学で今後産学連携を推進するコアとなる教員５名で、 豊橋技術科学大学に受入れた。実際の企業訪問に先立ち、モデル企業を用いたケーススタディー と演習を行うとともに、産学連携コーディネータ研修用ツールキッドを試作し、産学連携コーデ ィネーションの具体的な手順を教授した。 今回、モロツワ大学教員が訪問した企業は、新東工業株式会社、福井ファイバーテック株式会 社、武蔵精密工業株式会社の３社で、企業訪問の前には、Web サイトなどで、企業の概況（業種、 主要製品、売り上げ、利益、研究開発費など）について情報を入手した。企業訪問では、工場見 学の後、企業の抱える具体的な問題点について、調査した。 企業訪問後、モロツワ大学教員５名は、豊橋技術科学大学の産学連携コーディネータの指導の もと、豊橋技術科学大学教員データベースを用い、シーズとなる教員を複数検索し、それらの教 員と企業の抱える問題点について、どのような解決策を示せるか議論し、提案書を作成した。モ ロツワ大学教員５名は、作成した提案書を、３つの会社でそれぞれプレゼンテーションを行い、 その内２つの会社では、共同研究の立ち上げに向け、会社側から積極的な回答を得た。 産学連携コーディネータの指導による OJT 研修によって、モロツワ大学教員５名は、どのよう に企業ニーズを調査し、大学内の研究シーズとマッチングさせながら提案書を作成し、産学連携 につなげるか、実地に学ぶことができた。 （６）アクションプランの策定 OJT 研修に参加した５名の教員は、本年度の調査及び研修を踏まえ、モロツワ大学における産 学連携の基盤確立に向けたアクションプラン（成果物１）を作成した。アクションプランの主な 内容は以下のとおりである。 • OJT 研修の内容についてモロツワ大学でのセミナーの実施 • 産学連携の促進に向けた組織改革、諸規程整備 • 定期連絡会の開催 • モロツワ大学教員データベースの構築 • 企業ニーズの開拓と共同研究の立ち上げ • 企業への大学研究シーズの紹介セミナーの開催 • 産学連携の評価システムの構築 以上のアクションプランを確実に実施するため、モロツワ大学から豊橋技術科学大学との Minutes of Understanding (MOU)の締結が提案され、MOU 締結に向けた協議が開始された。 アクションプランのうち、企業ニーズの開拓については、スリランカに帰国後、研修に参加し た教員が豊橋技術科学大学教員とともに、セラミックスを製造する企業を訪問し、豊橋技術科学 大学で行った OJT 研修と同じ方法で、企業ニーズの聞き取りを行い、具体的な共同研究の立ち上 げに向け作業を開始することができた。 以上(1) ～(5)の一連のモデル事業を実施することにより、モロツワ大学において、日本の産学 連携の仕組みの基礎が理解され、次年度以降、産学連携を定着させ、工学部の教育機能、研究機 能を強化するためのアクションプランが策定された。 本モデル事業については、モロツワ大学からも高い評価を得ており、他の開発途上国での活用 の可能性が大いに期待できる結果となった。 【初年度モデル事業概念図】

プロポーザル提出時におけるモロツワ大学との調整 平成 19 年 4 月に平成 19 年度「国際協力イニシアティブ」教育協力拠点形成事業について、プロジェク ト公示後、本モデル事業の骨子を豊橋技術科学大学工学教育国際協力研究センター（以下、ICCEED） 内で作成し、次の４つのコンポーネントからなるモデル事業を申請する予定であることを、モロツワ大学 工学部に伝えた。 ■スリランカでの現地国内モデル研修（知的財産権及び産学連携にかかる技術経営） ■日本での産学連携 OJT モデル研修 ■産学連携にかかる企業調査 ■産学連携による企業との共同研究の実施 モロツワ大学からは、基本的に本モデル事業の実施に賛成であり、モロツワ大学としては、４番目の産 学連携による企業との共同研究の実施に一番期待しているとの回答があった。 文部科学省による本事業採択後、事業実施計画書を英訳し（別添資料１ 参照）、モロツワ大学に送付 した。モロツワ大学では、モロツワ大学機械工学科教授で、豊橋技術科学大学客員教授でもあるアタラ ゲ教授が中心となって、実施計画書について検討し、モロツワ大学としての意見を取り纏めた。 2-1-2 第１回調整会議（平成 19 年 5 月 23 日） モロツワ大学で検討した結果を ICCEED と調整するため、5 月 20 日から 27 日までアタラゲ教授が来日 しＩＣＣＥＥＤと、モデル事業の内容、実施までの準備、実施方法について 5 月 23 日、意見交換を行った。 （別添資料２ 参照） 主な内容としては、 ■実施計画書の内容で基本的に問題がないこと ■本プロジェクト実施のモロツワ大学での正式承認のためには、最終的にはモロツワ大学運営評議会 での承認が必要となるが、数ヶ月以内に承認が得られる見込みであること、 ■モロツワ大学では、産学連携の活動は個別の教授や教授グループによって散発的に行われており、 大学として組織的に行われていないが、モデル事業の初年度となる平成 19 年度はエンジニアリング・デ ザイン・センター（Engineering Design Center 以下、EDC）が中心となって本事業を実施すること、 が確認された。 なお、アタラゲ客員教授は、5 月 20 日～27 日の滞在中に豊橋技術科学大学知的財産本部を訪問した ほか、豊橋技術科学大学の旅費規程など学内規程等の情報を収集し、モロツワ大学の教員が、豊橋技 術科学大学で短期間の研修を受けるにあたって、日当・宿泊や支給される交通費など様々な条件を確 認した。 4 -4- 2-1-3 モロツワ大学での事業実施の正式承認 第１回調整会議で ICCEED と協議した結果をもとに、６月以降、アタラゲ教授は、再度、モデル事業の 内容について、モロツワ大学と協議した。モロツワ大学での協議の結果、企業のニーズと大学のシーズ のマッチングは、モロツワ大学では全く新しく、また興味深い活動であり、研修の中で十分な時間があて られるべきだという見解が示された。 7 月 9 日のモロツワ大学運営評議会では、上記のモロツワ大学の意見を盛り込むことで、本モデルプロ ジェクトの実施が正式承認された。 2-2 豊橋技術科学大学における事業実施に向けた準備・調整 モロツワ大学との調整を進める一方で、8 月 22 日、本モデル事業関係者全員で、第２回調整会議を行 った。ICCEED から本モデル事業の趣旨を、セミナーの講師にも改めて周知するとともに、講義資料につ いて、講義を行う１ヶ月前を目処に作成するよう依頼した。知的財産基礎セミナーを担当する加藤講師と 産学連携と技術経営基礎セミナーを担当する佐藤講師については、モロツワ大学での講義となるので、 別途、大学の概況、産学連携の現状、産学連携に対しモロツワ大学が期待することについて、アタラゲ 教授からブリーフィングすることとした。（別添資料 3 参照） 2-3 産学連携ニーズ調査と産学連携を推進する６分野の選出 5 月～8 月にかけて、モロツワ大学内での本モデル事業の準備・調整と併行して、アタラゲ教授が中心 となってモロツワ大学のポスドクの学生とともに、産学連携ニーズ調査を実施した。（別添資料４ 参照） 本調査で取り纏めた結果は以下のとおりである。 ■産学連携を推進する上で、協力が得られる可能性がある政府機関を訪問し、今後の政府の産業政策 について情報収集するとともに、産学連携を進める上で、どのような分野で公的機関の支援がえられる か、調査を行った。 ■スリランカセラミック協会、鋳造業協会など主だった産業の支援協会を訪問し、これらの産業がどのよ うな技術的な課題をもち、大学との連携で何を期待するのか調査した。また、個々の企業についても、同 様の調査を行った。

立ち、１１月末までに参加者を選定した。ICCEED は、モロツワ大学の教員で、今後産学連携を推進する 上で、コアとなる教員の参加をモロツワ大学に要請し、モロツワ大学は次の５人の教員を選定した。 ■ Prof. Mr.B.Sarath.Samarasiri エンジニアリングデザインセンター センター長 ■ Prof. Dr.Walallawita Kankanamge Wimalsiri 機械工学科教授 ■ Prof. Dr. Walpalage Shantha 化学工学科教授 ■ Prof. Dr. Thantirige Sanath Siroshana Jayawardene 繊維工学科教授 ■ Prof. Dr. Adikary Sudarman Upali 物質工学科教授 訪日前に、それぞれの参加者が本研修に期待することについて、ジョブレポートを作成し、ICCEED に 提出した。（別添資料 16 参照） また、ICCEED は産学連携コーディネータによる OJT 研修に協力していただく企業を訪問し、研修の概 要を説明するとともに、生産現場である工場見学を盛り込むとともに、限られた時間で効率的な研修とな るよう、内容について意見交換を行った。 2-6-2 産学連携コーディネータによる OJT 研修 2 月 7 日から 2 月 20 日で、産学連携コーディネータによる OJT 研修を実施した。来日後、オリエンテ ーションを実施した後、千代田ユーテック（株）の柏原英勝講師から、モデル企業を用いた産学連携のケ ーススタディーと産学連携による企業と大学との契約締結となった成功例について講義が行われた。 （成果物２参照） 2 月 8 日からは、産学連携コーディネータと実際に企業を訪問する OJT 研修を開始した。研修に協力 した企業は豊橋市近隣に工場及び本社が所在する以下の３社とした。 ■新東工業株式会社 ■福井ファイバーテック株式会社 ■武蔵精密工業株式会社 実際の研修は、試作した産学連携コーディネータ用研修ツールキットにしたがって、次のプロセスで実 施した。 （１）企業訪問前の事前準備 モロツワ大学からの 5 人の参加者は、企業訪問に先立ち、訪問する企業の業種、主要製品、売上高、 利益、工場施設、従業員数、研究開発費などを、Web サイトや会社案内をもとに可能な範囲で情報収集 を行った。また、その企業が所属する産業や競争相手企業の動向についても調べ、将来予測されるそ の産業の方向性や技術開発上の課題について、企業訪問前で考えられる事項を整理した。 （２）第１回企業訪問（ニーズ調査） ５人の参加者は企業概要について説明を受けた後、工場のラインを見学し説明を受けた。その後、訪 8 -8- 問企業の研究開発部署の担当と、技術的な課題について質疑・討論を行ない、彼らの技術的な課題ニ ーズについて、調査した。 （３）シーズ・ニーズマッチングと提案書の作成 第１回の企業訪問後、企業の技術的な課題の解決に、豊橋技術科学大学で最も適任と思われる教員 を、教員データベースをもとに検索し、教授とのアポイントメントを取った上で、議論を行った。５人の参加 者に対応した教授は、参加者から企業でヒアリングした内容を聞いた後、自分自身の研究を紹介し、考 えられる解決策について意見交換を行った。５人の参加者がコンタクトした何人かの教授は、企業が関 心を示すような解決策や解決に向けての研究の提案の提示があったが、当然のことながら、対応した教 授の研究分野が企業の技術的な課題にマッチングしないケースもあった。 ５人の参加者は、１９名の豊橋技術科学大学の教員と意見交換を行い、それぞれの企業への提案書 を作成した。 （４）第２回企業訪問（提案書のプレゼンテーション） 第２回の企業訪問では、それぞれの企業で、５人の参加者が豊橋技術科学大学の教員と意見交換を して作成した提案書を、開発担当者の前でプレゼンテーションを行い、開発担当者からコメントをもらった。 ２つの企業では、企業の技術的な課題の克服に対して、適切な提案であり共同研究に向け具体的な協 議の希望が企業側から述べられた。１つの企業については、共同研究に結びつけるためには、なお、い くつかの確認すべき事項があり、豊橋技術科学大学の産学連携コーディネータがフォローすることとなっ た。 上記の一連のプロセスを通じ、５人の参加者は、自らの実体験を通し、産学連携コーディネータの役割 や企業と大学のコーディネーションの方法を学んだ。研修実施後のヒアリングの結果、５人の参加者全 員から、本研修により日本の産学連携の仕組みが理解でき、なおかつ、本研修はスリランカにおける産 学連携のメカニズムの構築に役に立つ内容であったというコメントを得た。 2-7 アクションプラン 2-7-1 アクションプランの策定と検討 日本での研修の最後に、５人の参加者は、モロツワ大学での産学連携推進に向けたアクションプラン を作成し、セミナー講師や ICCEED 教員の参加のもとプレゼンテーションが行われた。（成果物１参照） 主な内容は以下のとおりである。 （短期計画） ・OJT セミナーで得た知識のモロツワ大学内での情報共有 ・モロツワ大学内における知的財産本部および TLO 機能の創設 ・エンジニアリングデザインセンターを中心とした産学連携機能の集約化による強化 ・IP ポリシーの策定 ・大学シーズのデータベース化 ・スリランカにおける企業ニーズの掘り起こしと大学シーズのマッチング （長期計画） ・産学連携強化に向けた定期連絡会の創設 ・企業ニーズのデータベース化 9 -9- ・大学外部の関係者を招いた産学連携セミナーの開催 ・産学連携の評価システムの確立 ５人の参加者は 2 月 24 日にアタラゲ教授と帰国後、2 月 25 日から 29 日にかけてモロツワ大学及び 関係機関と協議し、産学連携の具体化にむけた協力体制の構築を図るとともに、アクションプランについ ていくつかの追加・修正を行った。また、産学連携コーディネータによる OJT 研修をフォローアップする ために、3 月 3 日～5 日にかけてモロツワ大学を訪問した ICCEED 教員に対し、これから１年間の具体的 な計画が提示した。（成果物 3 及び別添資料 17 参照） （主な追加・修正内容） ・産学連携機能の集約化については、まず、工学部を中心にエンジニアリングデザインセンターとテクノ ロジーマネージメント科において進め、中長期的に大学の全ての学部を包括する組織に改編する。 ・大学シーズのデータベースは、エンジニアリングデザインセンターのオフィススペースを拡張し、機材等 を整備する。 ・大学外部の関係者を招いた産学連携セミナーの開催を長期計画から短期計画の対象とする。 2-7-2 アクションプランの実践 OJT 研修をフォローアップするために、3 月 3 日～5 日に訪問した ICCEED 教員は、3 月 4 日、OJT 研 修に参加した教員２名とともに、企業２社を訪問した。ＯＪＴ参加教員は、日本で実習した内容を忠実に 再現し、結果、セラミックス会社（Dankotuwa Porcelain Limited）において技術的な課題に関し、将来の共 同研究も視野に含め、今後、密接に意見交換をすることが合意された。（別添資料 18 参照） 2-7-3 アクションプランの実現に向けた Memorandum of Understanding 本モデル事業によって実施された知的財産基礎セミナー、産学連携と技術経営基礎セミナー及び産学 連携コーディネータによる OJT 研修を通じ、モロツワ大学教職員は、産学連携の工学教育における重 要性を再認識するとともに、日本で実践されている仕組みの導入に意欲を示し、OJT 研修終了後、 Memorandum of Understanding （MOU）の締結を豊橋技術科学大学に要請し、そのドラフトを提示した。 （成果物４） Memorandum of Understanding （MOU）の主な内容は以下のとおりである。 モロツワ大学における産学連携による工学部の機能強化を推進するため、今後２年間、事業を継 続する。 産学連携を推進するための、モロツワ大学のキャパシティー・デベロップメントに協力する。 産学連携を推進するため、両大学教員の交流を深める。 スリランカでの企業との共同研究立ち上げに必要な指導・助言を行う。 この MOU については、本モデルプロジェクトの効果を早期に発現するため、また、モデル事業のサス テナビリティーを確保するためにも、有効であり、平成 20 年 6 月締結に向け準備を進めている。 10 - 10 - 2-8 広報その他 2-8-1 アメリカの学会での発表 本モデルプロジェクトに従事する ICCEED 教員 3 名（本間寛臣教授、池田則宏准教授、ラフラ・アヌラ・ アタラゲ客員教授）は、本プロジェクトの概要について説明した論文を平成 19 年 10 月、アメリカの学会 「International Joint Conferences on Computer, Information, and Systems, Sciences, and Engineering」に 提出した。本学会は、12 月 3 日～12 日、アメリカ、ブリッジポート大学で開催されたが、ICCEED が提出さ れた論文は、12 月 6 日、インターネットを通じて、プレゼンテーションが行われた。（成果物５） 2-8-2 新聞報道、大学ホームページでの紹介とリーフレットの作成 本モデル事業については、大学ホームページでトピックスとして紹介したほか、愛知県の地元紙である 東日新聞（2 月 5 日）でも第１面で紹介された。（別添資料 19 参照）また、モロツワ大学教職員、スリラ ンカ政府関係者及びスリランカ企業に配布するため、知的財産基礎セミナー（11 月に実施）と産学連携 と技術経営基礎セミナー（1 月に実施）、産学連携コーディネータによる OJT 研修（２月に実施）の広報 用リーフレットを作成し、セミナーや企業訪問の機会に配布した。また、この広報用リーフレットは、JICA スリランカ事務所の ODA 広報資料閲覧コーナーにも設置された。 （別添資料 20 参照） また、本モデル事業は、平成１９年９月の国際開発ジャーナル９月号の特集「国際協力にチャレンジす る大学」の中でも紹介された。 2-8-3 文部科学省国際協力イニシアティブ国内報告会での発表 2 月 18 日に実施された文部科学省国際協力イニシアティブ国内報告会において、本事業の進捗状況 やアクションプランなどの成果物作成に向けた今後の予定について、池田則宏准教授が報告した。（成 果物 6）池田准教授の報告に対して、JICA 人間開発部の大久保管理グループ長から、意欲的な取組み であり、産業クラスターに焦点をあてた活動とすることで、産学連携の実現可能性が高くなるとのコメント があった。 2-8-4 JICA 集団研修での本事業の成果の活用 平成 19 年度から豊橋技術科学大学では、JICA 集団研修「自動車裾野産業育成のための産官学連 携コーディネータ養成」を実施している。この研修は、国の経済発展に最も波及効果の大きい自動車裾 野産業を育成するために、産官学連携コーディネータを養成するもので、愛知県に集積する自動車産業 と大学との産学連携のノウハウを研修するものである。本年度の参加者は 8 ヶ国 11 名であった。 本モデル事業「産学連携による開発途上国の大学工学部の機能強化」については、自動車という特定 産業に特化するものではないものの、JICA 集団研修の研修員にとって、アクションプランを作成する上 で有益であると考えられ、研修期間の一コマで、初年度モデル事業の紹介を行った。 JICA 集団研修に参加した 11 名の研修員が作成したアクションプランは、本モデル事業の要素を取り 入れたものが多く、モデル事業の内容がわかりやすく、適用が容易なものであることが確認できた。特に フィリピン工科大学から参加した研修員の作成したアクションプランは、工科大学において自動車裾野産 業との産学連携を進める上での問題点を把握するため、ベースライン調査を行い、コミッティーをつくり 11 - 11 - 定期連絡会を開くとともに、研修で得た知識に関し、セミナーを開催するというもので、本モデル事業を 十分参考としつつ、なおかつ、実現可能性の高いアクションプランとなっていた。（別添資料 21 参照） 12 - 12 - 3. 本年度のモデル事業の成果と課題 3-1 産学連携による工学部機能強化のモデル事業 今回の事業では、以下の事業をモデル事業として実施した。 （１）モデル大学での産学連携の現状と課題の把握 本年度の研修実施前の段階で、モデルとなるスリランカ国モロツワ大学における産学連携の現状と問 題点について調査し、モロツワ大学関係者間で共通認識を持つとともに、現地に派遣する研修の講師に 情報提供し、モロツワ大学で必要となる具体的な研修内容について検討を行った。 （２）産学連携の対象となる企業の把握 スリランカ国の国家開発計画を踏まえ、スリランカ国内の産学連携の意欲がある企業の、大学との連 携ニーズについて調査することで、（1） 繊維・アパレル、（2） 鋳物・鋳造、（3） 電気・電子部品、（4） 紅 茶、（5） ゴム、（６）セラミックスの６つの分野で産学連携のニーズが高く、大学と企業との共同研究のニ ーズが高いことを確認した。 （３）モデル研修１：知的財産基礎セミナー 日本の知的財産法、アジアにおける知的財産整備の状況について、ワークショップ形式による講義を モロツワ大学で実施した。対象者はモロツワ大学関係者だけでなく、スリランカ国内の企業担当者、スリ ランカ政府関係者も含めることで、モロツワ大学での知的財産の整備に関し、民間企業や政府の観点か ら、日本や諸外国のケースを踏まえ、具体的な改善策について議論を行った。 （４）モデル研修２：産学連携と技術経営基礎セミナー 日本における産学連携の流れ、技術開発における技術経営、産学連携の重要性、日本での産学連 携の具体例について、モロツワ大学で講義を行った。対象者はモデル研修１と同様、モロツワ大学関係 者だけでなく、スリランカ国内の企業担当者、スリランカ政府関係者とした。モデル研修２の締めくくりで、 日本における産学連携ケースを踏まえ、スリランカでどのような産学連携が可能か、大学、企業、政府 の関係者からプレゼンテーションが行われ、関係者の間で産学連携に向けた具体的なアクションのイメ ージが形成された。 （５）モデル研修３：産学連携コーディネータによる OJT 研修 豊橋技術科学大学で、実際に産学連携コーディネータと企業を訪問し、産学連携を立ち上げる OJT 研修を行った。対象者は、モロツワ大学で今後産学連携を推進するコアとなる教員５名で、豊橋技術科 学大学に受入れた。実際の企業訪問に先立ち、モデル企業を用いたケーススタディーと演習を行うとと もに、産学連携コーディネータ研修用ツールキッドを試作し、産学連携コーディネーションの具体的な手 順を教授した。 企業訪問の前は、Web サイトなどで、企業の概況（業種、主要製品、売り上げ、利益、研究開発費な ど）について情報を入手した。企業訪問では、工場見学の後、企業の抱える具体的な問題点について、 調査した。 企業訪問後、モロツワ大学教員５名は、豊橋技術科学大学の産学連携コーディネータの指導のもと、 豊橋技術科学大学教員データベースを用い、シーズとなる教員を複数検索し、それらの教員と企業の抱 える問題点について、どのような解決策を示せるか議論し、提案書を作成した。モロツワ大学教員５名は、 作成した提案書を、３つの会社でそれぞれプレゼンテーションを行い、その内２つの会社では、共同研究 の立ち上げに向け、会社側から積極的な回答を得た。 13 - 13 - 産学連携コーディネータの指導による OJT 研修によって、モロツワ大学教員５名は、どのように企業 ニーズを調査し、大学内の研究シーズとマッチングさせながら提案書を作成し、産学連携につなげるか、 実地に学ぶことができた。 以上（1）～（5）の一連のモデル事業を実施することにより、モロツワ大学において、日本の産学連携 の仕組みの基礎が理解され、次年度以降、産学連携を定着させ、工学部の教育機能、研究機能を強化 するための次ページの内容のアクションプランが策定された。 （アクションプランの主な内容） OJT 研修の内容についてモロツワ大学でのセミナーの実施 産学連携の促進に向けた組織改革、諸規程整備 定期連絡会の開催 モロツワ大学教員データベースの構築 企業ニーズの開拓と共同研究の立ち上げ 企業への大学研究シーズの紹介セミナーの開催 産学連携の評価システムの構築 3-2 モデル事業（初年度）の自己評価 3-2-1 評価 5 項目からの自己評価 本モデル事業は本年度から開始されたものであり、最終目的である産学連携につながる具体的な成 果は得られていないが、計画段階で予定した事業は、ほぼ予定どおりに終了し、モロツワ大学からは、 成果を発現するため、来年度におけるモデル事業の実施希望が Memorandum of Understanding の中で 表明されている。 初年度の事業でもあり、評価については、時期尚早という側面は否めないものの、評価５項目にしたが って、試行的に自己評価を行った結果を以下に示す。 （妥当性） モロツワ大学では、産学連携に関し教授個人レベルでの実践はあるものの、大学組織としてのメカニ ズムが確立しておらず、大学全体として産学連携を教育・研究能力に活用したいという問題意識が高く、 本モデル事業を実施する妥当性が確認できる。また、企業としても、大学という身近にある知的リソース を利用し、技術開発や生産効率の改善を通じ競争向上につなげていきたいという、大学に対する強い要 望があった。 （有効性） セミナー後実施したアンケート結果からは、セミナー参加者の高い評価を得ており、モデル事業として の有効性は高いと判断される。また、セミナー相互に重複は少なく、相互に補完的であった。一連のセミ ナーが実施され、すぐにアクションプランが作成され、モロツワ大学内で協議されたこともまた、本モデル 事業が極めて有効に研修参加者に理解されたことを意味している。 14 - 14 - （効率性） モデル事業の構築方法として、講義形式のセミナーはスリランカで行うこととし、実習を伴なう研修を日 本で行うこととすることとした。スリランカで行った研修には、大学関係者のみならず政府関係者、企業関 係者も参加でき、産学連携を今後展開する上で、効率的に日本の産学連携ノウハウ及びスキルを伝え ることができた。詳細なコスト計算はしていないが、スリランカで実施した研修と同じ規模、内容の研修を 日本で実施するには、膨大な費用がかかり、そもそもそれだけの参加者を集めることも不可能である。 日本で実施した産学連携 OJT 研修は、企業ニーズへの解決策提案のため、１８日間に日本の企業３ 社を２回訪問し、豊橋技術科学大学教員と協議しながら提案書を作成するというもので、本来、このよう な短期間で共同研究のような具体的な成果まで結びつけるのは不可能であるが、参加した５名が実習 として、日本でのプラクティスを学ぶには十分であった。この研修期間中、提案書の作成にあたり豊橋技 術科学大学教員１９名が対応したが、これらの教員の予定を確保するのは、他の学内での仕事もあり、 大変困難な作業であった。これ以上、研修期間を短縮するのは困難であると思われる。 （インパクト） アクションプランが速やかに作成され、すぐにモロツワ大学内で議論されたことは、本モデル事業のイ ンパクトの一つの証拠とも言える。また、スリランカでのセミナーで商務省の次官が出席したことや、セミ ナー実施前後で行った企業訪問も、セミナーに参加した企業の担当者が極めて適切に対応していたこと も、インパクトとして挙げられる。 （自立発展性） 産学連携が自立発展的に継続するためには、研究資金の円滑な循環が必要であり、初年度のモデル 事業では、そこまでは予定されていない。しかしながら、Memorandum of Understanding の中で本事業へ のモロツワ大学の主体的な関与が述べられている。また、来年度以降のモデル事業の継続の中で、ス リランカ国内での研究資金の獲得とその循環メカニズムの育成が平成 20 年度計画の中で予定されてお り、産学連携の自立発展につながることが期待される。 3-2-2 セミナー参加者のアンケート結果による評価 モデル研修は３回実施したが、知的財産基礎セミナー及び産学連携と技術経営基礎セミナー研修終 了後に参加者による評価を行った。それぞれの研修の評価は以下のとおりである。 ■ 知的財産基礎セミナー 本セミナーは特許庁特許審査第三部加藤浩審査官によって行われた。内容は、日本における産学連 携の環境整備、日本の特許流通促進事業の紹介、日本の企業における特許流通の実態、大学知財を 活用した産学連携の現状と課題、スリランカにおける知的財産を活用した産学連携の問題点について の講義とワークショップであった。 研修参加者の評価は、内容、講義方法、教材、講義項目とも、優れており、総合評価も極めて高い点 数であった。（別添資料 ８ 参照） 15 - 15 - ■産学連携と技術経営基礎セミナー 本セミナーは（有）ビズテック代表取締役社長で慶應義塾大学で産学連携に実績のある佐藤千惠 氏によって行われた。内容は、日本における産学連携の背景と流れ、企業における研究から販売までの プロセスにおける技術の役割、産学連携コーディネータの役割、日本における産学連携の成功例と失敗 例、スリランカにおける産学連携（参加者のプレゼンテーション）であった。 研修参加者の評価は、内容、講義方法、教材、講義項目とも、優れており、総合評価も十分評価ので きる点数であった。（別添資料 14 参照） 16 - 16 - 3-3 産学連携機能モデル構築に向けた今後の課題 3-3-1 大学組織の改変 モロツワ大学が作成したアクションプラン及び今後１年間のプログラムの中で、産学連携に向けた組織 の改編が提案されている。新しい組織の立ち上げには、予算措置が伴う。モロツワ大学では、初年度モ デル事業終了直後から、エンジニアデザインセンターのオフィススペースの拡張などすでに予算措置が 実施されているものもあるが、スタッフの配置などは整理されていない。また、組織の改編では、一般的 に大学の組織図の中に付け加えられるだけで、機能するにいたらないケースも多々あり、策定された計 画を実行に移すのは容易ではない。 産学連携のメカニズムが大学の中で機能として定着するためには、１人１人の教員が産学連携のメリ ットを享受することが重要であり、そのためには、できるだけ早い段階で、企業との共同研究立ち上げに つなげることが重要である。同時に、大学教職員の産学連携スキルアップのためのキャパシティー・ディ ベッロップメントを図るとともに、企業への間口を広くするため、企業や政府関係者向けの大学研究の紹 介セミナーなども実施する必要がある。 3-3-1 研究資金循環システムづくり 企業との共同研究の立ち上げを行うにも、イニシャルコストとしての研究資金は必要であり、大学内に 常にその資金がリザーブされている状況が望ましい。また、研究は常に成功するとは限らず、そのリスク について、一般企業が負うことは必ずしも容易ではない。日本では、こうしたイニシャルコストや研究失敗 のリスクに対し、経済産業省及び文部科学省がサポートするシステムを確立しているが、開発途上国で は政府予算が逼迫し、そのような公的資金のサポートは多くは期待できない。 国の産業競争力を強化したり大学の研究機能を高めるためには、開発途上国でも長期的には取り組 まなければならない課題であり、スリランカにおいても政府関係者を巻き込みながら産学連携の国家戦 略として確立する必要があるであろう。 しかしながら、当面の間は、政府から得られるわずかな資金と企業との共同研究から獲得される資金 により、研究にともなうイニシャルコストやリスクへの対応を図る必要があり、元手となるリザーブ資金の 確保と循環システムについて、早期に検討し実行される必要がある。 3-3-2 他の開発途上国への活用に向けた提言 本モデル事業はスリランカで実施され、その有効性について検証された後、他の開発途上国へ適用す ることが大きな課題となっている。開発途上国でもその条件は様々であり、スリランカでのケースをその まま適用することは難しく、スリランカだからこそ事業が有効に実施されたことと、モデルとして汎用性が あることを明確に区別する必要がある。また、同時にモデル事業を実施する上で、最低限不可欠な事項 についても整理していく必要がある。 初年度の段階で、そのような整理は不可能とも言えるが、現時点で以下の点については、最低限整理 されていると考えられる。 ■ モデル事業を実施する上で最低限不可欠な事項 類似プロジェクトを実施する上で、最低限必要と考えられるのは、まず、カウンターパートとなる相手国 17 - 17 - の大学関係者との信頼関係の構築である。本モデル事業を実施したスリランカについては、本学教員が 別のＪＩＣＡプロジェクトで専門家として派遣されてから、ＪＩＣＡプロジェクトの対象であったコロンボ大学だ けでなく、スリランカの他の大学とも信頼関係が構築された。また、平成１８年８月からモロツワ大学工学 部からアタラゲ教授を客員教授として招聘したことで、モデル事業の実施にあたり、モロツワ大学との円 滑なコミュニケーションをとることが可能となった。 こうした開発途上国との信頼関係構築には、客員教授制度の活用のほか、帰国留学生のネットワーク の活用やＪＩＣＡ帰国研修員のネットワークの活用も考えられる。 ■ モデルとしての汎用性 本年度の研修では、講義形式のセミナーはスリランカで行うこととし、実習を伴なう研修を日本で行うこ ととした。スリランカで行った研修には、大学関係者のみならず政府関係者、企業関係者も参加でき、数 多くの関係者を巻きこんで産学連携を今後展開する上で、効率的に日本の産学連携ノウハウ及びスキ ルを伝えることができたと考えられる。また、日本での産学連携ＯＪＴ研修の中でアクションプランを作成 したことは、セミナー講師など日本側関係者の多くの助言を受けながらアクションプラン作成が可能とな った。 このような研修の組み方は他の開発途上国への汎用性が高いと思われる。 18 - 18 - 別添資料 １ International Cooperation Initiative for Fiscal

Based on Japan experience, university –industry cooperation has been proved to be a very effective means to improve the industrial competitiveness. And to make a strong university –industry linkage, university’s high research capability, and significant amount of industry investment in research and development, as well as support from governmental organization are required. However, in the developing countries, the above-mentioned conditions are not yet met. On the other hand, for middle-income countries whose income per capita is higher than US$ 1000 and who are having enough will to improve university - industry linkage and are also receiving support by international cooperation, the expected results are still not yet obtained. In the proposed 3 years project, the following activities will be done: establishment of a focal unit, real/virtual that would work in a suitable management frame work in line with EDC complementing its activities notably in the thrust areas of materials, manufacturing and textiles, with the cooperation of ICCEED , training of university - industry cooperation coordinator, setting up regulation and guideline for university - industry cooperation activity, and establishing the mechanism for research fund circulation in the university-Industry cooperation center.

These mechanisms have been established with the main objectives of initiating, facilitating collaborative work encompassing innovation, research & development, consultancy and outreach activities with/to the industry. Basic industrial needs in strengthening the university-industry links that have been preliminarily identified through diverse mechanisms such as interviews with the officials of the Ministry of Industrial development, Industrial Development Board (IDB), National Science Foundation (NSF) & industrialists, personal contacts and also through the Department Industry Consultative Board (DICB) meeting held at the department of Mechanical Engineering are presented. The Ministry of Industrial Development is one of the main Ministries that has to take the leading role in navigating the country towards the goal of industrial economy within the perspective of the “Mahinda Chinthana”, the wide policy framework originated by the current President of Sri Lanka, His Excellency Mahinda Rajapakse. The Ministry provides the policy support with special focus on the industrial growth and subsequent international competitiveness. Ministry of Industrial Development envisages university-national research institutes-industry linkage based approach in looking forward for a knowledge driven development strategy. Several steps are being taken to enhance this link and consolidate through industry associations and Advisory committees. Officials of the IDB and NSF explained their current stand vis-à-vis the local industry development, mainly at the level of playing facilitator roles. There are 03 Sector Development divisions working through Adversary Committees to meet the policy target of the Ministry. They are: Sector Development 1: Tea, coir, Packaging, Processed food, Spices Sector Development 2: Wood & Wood based, Rubber, Plastics, Automobile & Transport equipment, Die & Mould, Machinery & Basic Metal, Optical & Photographic. Sector Development 3: Ceramic, Electronic & Electrical equipment, Chemical, Footwear, Leather. As per the extracted information following the methodology and the value of industrial production in 2005, the following industrial sectors have been selected for a detailed need analysis. They are: 1. Textile & Apparel 2. Tea (food) & Rubber 3. Ceramic 4. Die & Mould 5. Electrical & Electronic part manufacture Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 28 - iii The rationale behind these selections is that except apparel sub sector, all the other sub sectors fall within the 03-sector development plans above discussed, they are among the largest contributors to the value of industrial production, these industrial sectors do already have strong industry associations/clusters that are already in link with relevant national research institutes (NRIs) and universities. Even though the Apparel sector is not directly within the Ministry’s 03 sector development plans, its strong contribution to the economy and also the current stiff competition the sector is facing due to abolishing the quota system justifies its inclusion in the detailed need analysis. Based on the identified sub sectors a detailed Industry need analysis is envisaged to be carried out. Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 29 - iv Industry needs for University-Industry linkage in Sri Lanka 1. Introduction The Faculty of Engineering of University of Moratuwa has several established mechanisms for university Industry cooperation notably through the University Industry Interaction Cell (UIIC), Engineering Design Center (EDC) and also through its commercial arm UNIC. These mechanisms have been established with the main objectives of initiating, facilitating collaborative work encompassing innovation, research & development, consultancy and outreach activities with/to the industry. The recent collaboration with the Sri Lanka Inventors Commission (SLIC) is a positive indication of the growth of these activities. In this scenario, the project aiming at providing assistance to the faculty of engineering, University of Moratuwa using funding of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science & Technology (MEXT) of Japan through the International Cooperation Center of Engineering Education (ICCEED) of the Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT) has been envisaged. This assistance is focusing on complementing the strengths that University of Moratuwa currently possesses in university-industry cooperation. In the first year plan (fiscal year 2007), action would be taken to establish a focal unit, real/virtual, that would work in a suitable management framework in line with EDC complementing its activities in certain thrust areas, with the cooperation of ICCEED and to carry out activities such as trainings on Intellectual Property (IP) rights and related special aspects of Management Technology at University of Moratuwa and actual exercises on the University – Industry cooperation in Japan. This brief report intends to highlight basic industrial needs in strengthening the universityindustry links that have been identified through diverse mechanisms such as interviews with the officials of the Ministry of Industrial development, Industrial Development Board (IDB), National Science Foundation (NSF) & industrialists, personal contacts and also through the Department Industry Consultative Board (DICB) meeting held at the department of Mechanical Engineering. 2. Ministry of Industrial Development of Sri Lanka Industrial Policy During the recent past, successive governments in Sri Lanka have adopted a policy to industrialize the country’s economy and hence have looked at diverse strategies to enhance the industrial sector, increase its share in the GDP, enable more employment and increase the related exports. The Ministry of Industrial Development is the main ministry that has to take the leading role in navigating the country towards the goal of industrial economy within the perspective of the “Mahinda Chinthana”, the wide policy framework originated by the current President of Sri Lanka, His Excellency Mahinda Rajapakse. In this context, the mission of the Ministry of Industrial Development is spelt out as to foster, facilitate and catalyze the creation of a globally competitive industrial sector in Sri Lanka. The Ministry provides the policy support with special focus on the industrial growth and subsequent international competitiveness. The main objectives of this industrial policy: Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 30 - 1 • • • • • Expansion, diversification and upgrading of the industrial base Employment and income generation in both rural and urban sectors Enhance export orientation industries Regional industrialization Foster environmental friendly & sustainable industry Industrial Policy division of the Ministry has two main program areas namely: 1. Industrial Process Development 2. Regional Industrialization In the case of Industrial process development, Ministry focuses on the aspects of compliances with trade agreements & standards, labour & social welfare, environmental obligations, product standards etc. The National Cleaner Production Center (NCPC) plays an important role of facilitation in this regard. NCPC commenced its Cleaner Production Initiative in 2006. The Regional Industrialization activity forms into action through Regional Industrial Service Committees (RISCs) in provinces of the country. These RISCs serve as advisory bodies and also performs the task of coordination with the Ministry. Macro Policy The Ministry’s Macro Policy division is mandated of providing a conducive environment for the growth and industrial development primarily through trade and tariff related policy initiatives. As for tariff related matters, it takes into consideration of tariff anomalies, short & long-term tariff framework etc while for trade related matters, it plays a leading role with other relevant Ministries in capturing the opportunities on the basis of trade agreements. A research study conducted by this division in exploring the penetration potential of Sri Lankan products into the South Asian and European markets, has identified 17 sub sectors encompassing 143 products as target. Sector development plans These 17 sub sectors encompassing 143 products fall within the purview of the Ministry’s Sector Development division broadly covering 03 sub sectors. They are: 1. Sector Development 1 This assists agro-based industries. • Tea • Coir • Packaging • Process food • Spices 2. Sector Development 2 This targets the following industries for competitiveness of the global market. • Wood & Wood based products • Rubber based • Plastic based • Automobile & Transport equipment • Die & Mould Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 31 - 2 • Machinery & Basic Metal products • Optical & Photographic equipment 3. Sector Development 3 This targets the following industries for competitiveness of the global market. • Ceramic • Electronic & Electrical equipment • Chemical • Leather • Footwear Ministry also has divisions for Management Information and Computer Services and for Regional industrial development. 3. Sri Lanka Inventors Commission (SLIC) In order to promote and encourage Sri Lanka inventions and their manufacture the Sri Lanka Inventors Commission (SLIC) has been set up by the Parliament Act No. 53 of 1979. At present SLIC is functioning under the Ministry of Enterprise Development and Investment Promotion. The SLIC has been established with the aim of achieving the following objectives: • • • • • • • • Creation of Inventive traditions Educating and encouraging the different segments of the People who are oriented towards innovativeness. Focusing these activities especially on School children and University & Technical College students. Evaluation and encouragement of inventions on merit basis. Provision of assistance for the Commercialization of Inventions of national importance enabling the nation to reap the maximum benefit of them. Obtaining the maximum contribution from our inventors and their inventions for the Industrial Development of Sri Lanka Provision of assistance to inventors whose inventions have reached the International Level. Protection of the Intellectual Property Rights of Inventors. The SLIC has the following engines in achieving its objectives: • Schools Inventors’ circle Schools Inventors Circles have been established in various schools in every province and at present this number stands at 1400. This is with the aim of SLIC assisting inventors’ circles in organization of programs which leads to promote innovativeness among students of these schools. SLIC grants funds to inventors’ circles to come up with innovative projects and organizes district level inventions exhibitions and competitions for selection of best inventor and best innovative project introduced by each of these circles. SLIC supports student inventors in drafting patent documents on the request made by them. SLIC sponsors student inventors for participation at international exhibitions for young inventors. Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 32 - 3 • University & Technical Colleges Inventors’ circle In 1996, at the University of Peradeniya, the first University Young Inventors Circle was founded. Subsequently, the concept was extended to both University of Ruhuna and University of Moratuwa. On the same lines, the first Technical College Inventors Circle was established in the year 2003 and at present there are 05 technical college inventors circles at the technical colleges of Kalutara, Dambulla, Kegalle, Ratnapura and Badulla. Moreover, at present, any university or technical college can set up their inventors circles and can join with SLIC to organize inventors promotional programs in their institutes. SLIC intends to organize inter university competition on inventions and inter technical college competition on inventions at the end of each year. • Village Inventors’ circle In view of bringing forward potential brilliant hidden ideas of villagers the SLIC envisages to extend its activities to the villages by undertaking collaborative projects with universities and research institutions. This project will be carried via inventors’ circles in the villages. Any villager can set up inventors circle in his village and send the Registration form to the Commission for further activities. Moreover, SLIC has the following activities in its repertoire in achieving its objectives. • • • • • Presidential & National awards for Inventors Invention exhibition Competitive project grants Inventor parenting program Research fund for priority areas 4. Industry Needs Identification 4.1 Methodology The interaction between industry and academia is becoming very important and even in developed countries one would observe that these are being consolidated only now. The situation in developing countries should not be very different apart from the types of needs and the level of interaction that has to take place. This section would highlight the methodology used in order to identify the real industry needs that are envisaged from the industry perspective that could be addressed or catered by the universities in the form of their knowledge and competencies. This can be divided into the following categories, namely: • Collaborative research • Sponsored research • Technology transfer • Testing, calibration and consultancy Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 33 - 4 • Seminars and Continuous Professional Development Courses (CPD) Currently, UoM employs the institutional mechanisms of UIIC, EDC & UNIC and also personal contacts an achieving above. One of the most important aspects of university industry linkage is the ability of both the university and the industry to work on a common platform in order to achieve a common goal encompassing present industrial needs. Therefore, proper understanding and identification of present industry needs of Sri Lanka is very vital prior to the introduction of a mechanism to strengthen or enhance the university industry linkage. In order to obtain a realistic perspective of the current industry needs, several mechanisms were employed in gathering relevant information. These mechanisms range from personal contacts with relevant professionals, direct contact discussions/interviews with industry decision makers and implementers to large-scale focus group discussions. The focus group discussion was targeted to the recently held Department Industry Consultative Board (DICB) meeting at the department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Moratuwa. In addition, a questionnaire was circulated to the relevant selected industries from which a feedback containing the current industry needs is expected. Among the selected candidates for the survey, the officials of the Ministry of Industrial Development, Industrial Development Board (IDB), National Science Foundation (NSF), National Engineering Research & Development Center (NERDC) and members of the DICB contributed positively and enthusiastically. 4.2 Extracted Information The output of the discussions with the officials and the relevant information from the Ministry of Industrial Development provided the current status of the policies in line with the global country policy based on “Mahinda Chinthanya”. Ministry of Industrial Development envisages university-national research institutes-industry linkage based approach in looking forward for a knowledge driven development strategy. Several steps are being taken to enhance this link and consolidate industry associations and Advisory committees. Officials of the IDB and NSF explained their current stand vis-à-vis the local industry development, mainly at the level of playing facilitator roles. It is observed that the Industrial sector contributed 27.0% to the GDP while the Agriculture, Forestry & Fishing sector and the Service sector contributed 16.8% and 56.2% respectively as per the figures in 2006. The Ministry of Industrial development based on its findings on the potential of export earnings has targeted 17 sub sectors encompassing 143 products targeting regional and European markets. In order achieve the targets of these 17 sub sectors the Ministry has adopted a strategy through Advisory committees based development action in 03 sector development plans. They are as follows: Sector Development 1 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Tea Coir Packaging Processed food Spices Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 34 - 5 Sector Development 2 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Rubber based Wood & Wood based Plastic based Automobile & Transport equipment Die & Mould Machinery & basic metal products Optical & photographic equipment Sector Development 3 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Ceramics Electrical & Electronic components Chemical Footwear Leather For the purpose of evaluation of contribution, value addition etc. the manufacturing sector is further agglomerated into 09 sub sectors. Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 35 - 6 Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 36 - 7 Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 37 - 8 4.3 Key industry needs with reference to university-industry links As per the extracted information in section 4.2, following the methodology in section 4.1 and the value of industrial production in 2005, the following industrial sectors have been selected for a detailed need analysis. They are: 6. Textile & Apparel 7. Tea (food) & Rubber 8. Ceramic 9. Die & Mould 10. Electrical & Electronic part manufacture The rationale behind these selections is that except apparel sub sector all the other sub sectors fall within the 03-sector development plans above discussed, they are among the largest contributors to the value of industrial production, these industrial sectors do already have strong industry associations/clusters that are already in link with relevant national research institutes (NRIs) and universities. Even though the Apparel sector is not directly within the Ministry’s 03 sector development plans, its strong contribution to the economy and also the current stiff competition the sector is facing due to abolishing the quota system justifies its inclusion in the detailed need analysis. 4.3.1 Key requirements of Die & Mould Industry Die & Moulding is an important and considerably large industry, which touches almost all fields starting from simplest toys to high precision micro components in electronic industry. This has led to a huge demand for high quality high precision dies & moulds and thus it is imperative to have local supply of dies & moulds in order to speed up the whole product development and cater the needs of the dependent industries. It is notes that at present local industries are only capable to supply only 20% of the annual requirement. Sri Lanka Mould & Die Makers Association (SLMDA) plays a key role in assisting this sub sector and is comprised of many Small & Medium Enterprises (SME). The typical end use industries using dies & moulds are metal, rubber, plastic, leather, glass, ceramic & clay. Even though the export value of dies & moulds are relatively low, the indirect benefits through secondary industries look promising. Moreover, it is noted that at present ministry is focusing on exploring the possibilities of promoting automobile part manufacturing sector, envisaging supply of parts to the fast growing automobile sector in India. Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 38 - 9 Area Requirement Die & Mould Design Software Knowledge Presently, most of local die & mould manufactures are trying to employ advanced 3 D modeling technology in their mould design. There is a requirement to enhance knowledge of die & mould designers on advanced 3 D modeling. Industry envisages this by the universities. Knowledge on modeling. Software usage for mould design Eg • Pro Engineer. • Solid works • NX Expert advice on mould design C.N.C Machine Technology Knowledge on CNC machinery Presently, most of local die & mould manufactures are envisaging using CNC machinery for their facility. Knowledge on CNC machinery maintenance and trouble shooting and technological knowledge are major requirement of local industry 4.3.2 Key requirements of Ceramics Industry The Sri Lankan industry handles a spectrum of materials, mainly local, of which the origin ranging from agro based such as tea, rubber, coir, spices, etc to more technology based materials such as leather, minerals, metals, ceramics, polymers etc involving value added domestic resource based production activities. Among them ceramics is one them that is related to Global-linked industries. The need for a definite shift towards high value addition using knowledge and technology has been identified in the new development strategy presented by the government at the Development Forum, May 2005 in Kandy and also in the sector development plan of the Ministry of Industrial Development. Sri Lanka does not have any petroleum resources and has to compete with its regional competitors who have got fossil based energy sources. Thus knowledge and Technology based strategic measures using innovation, research & development will have to be identified for high value added production using domestic resources. Sri Lanka as a country has no institutes or centers of technical excellence equipped to support the industry in this domain with state of the art techniques. However, some initiative action has already taken place in this regard involving university, Industrial Technology Institute (ITI), industrial clusters representing the Ceramic sub sector together with enterprise/business partner associations. Some example of Industrial clusters/apex bodies in the Ceramic sector: - The Competitiveness Initiative – Ceramic Cluster Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 39 - 10 - The Sri Lanka Ceramic Council (SLACC) However, the sector lacks the capacity to make innovative “break-throughs” finding new products and niche areas and in R & D due to limited knowledge, experience and facilities. As such the sector has been experiencing a static growth and has not been able to attract investment for new business ventures. Hence, capacity building in R & D and on establishing an integrated environment for product/service development with a strong university-research institute-industry linkage in view of public-private partnership business initiation is envisaged. The Ceramics Industry Cluster, formed in April 2001 in response to The Competitiveness Initiative Project. It was composed of Chief executive officers of manufacturers and suppliers from the three industry segments; senior officers of government agencies, such as the Board of Investment (“BOI”) and the Export Development Board (EDB); representatives from universities and research and testing organizations and former ceramics industry executives. Because the cluster included members from across the business “value chain” -government agencies, academia, and allied and supporting industries- it served as a proxy for the ceramics industry and as a special forum for examining and representing the interests and needs of the entire industry. Given the successes seen at the cluster level, it was decided in April 2003, that an independent Apex body will be formed under the Companies Act of Sri Lanka and will be housed under the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce. For speedy and efficient decision making, all the members comprising the Sri Lanka Ceramics Council are to be CEO’s/Chairmen/Directors of ceramic manufacturing companies and Heads of Government Institutes/Universities/R&D Institutes Objectives of the Sri Lanka Ceramics Council Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 40 - 11 Area Requirement Energy management Alternative fuel technology Local ceramic sector industries face stiff international competition due to high LP gas prices. Need expertise and advice on alternative fuel technology and energy management Expect advice and technology from university. Local ceramic industry expect to reduce energy consumption by improving furnace and drying process. Automation S5 to S7 conversion of PLC systems Most of present Ceramic industrial machineries consist of PLC technology. Further, Most of machineries are in S5 (PLC) model and needed to be enhanced to S7. Knowledge on S5 to zS7 conversion is a vital request from local ceramic industrial sector Conversion of NC machineries to microprocessor programmable ones is also one of local industry requirement. 4.3.3 Local ceramic industry has request ed consultancy and R &D activities to improve performance of existing machineries. Key requirements of Apparel Industry. The Sri Lankan Apparel Industry is the leading player in the local industry, and continues to be the industry earning the largest amount of foreign exchange for the country and employment. Over the years the industry has had to face many challenges with the emergence of other players in the arena. The phasing out of the Multi-Fibre Arrangement and the related quota free era, as well as the increasing demand for higher quality, quick responses and value addition to the products supplied, has created a major need for enhancing the level of technology in the industry. The main concern of the apparel industry in the quota-free era is to identify ways of improving its productivity by the maximum utilization of available resources effectively. Initially better output was sought after in the sewing rooms, but now investigations have been expanded to all phases of the manufacturing process as well as to cover the well-being of the personnel involved in the process by considering ergonomic aspects. In addition to the Apparel Industry, there is a vast area of research and development in the technical textile industry, which badly needs development in Sri Lanka. Elimination of the quota system directs the industry to an extremely competitive scenario in the international market and consequently the government has drawn a five-year strategy with a target of increasing the turnover to US$ 4.7 billion by 2007. Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 41 - 12 The strategy aims at transforming the base from a manufacturer to a provider of fully integrated service including the expansion of the raw material base, superior product development, efficient manufacturing capability, logistics, marketing, design & legal knowhow. The relevant reforms and structural changes needed are underway. It is envisaged to foster the development of relevant knowledge & technology through universities and professional bodies with the industry initiative to create fully integrated service environment. Area Requirement Integrated Service Fully integrated service including the expansion of the raw material base, superior product development, efficient manufacturing capability, logistics, marketing, design & legal know-how Knowledge & Expertise to provide total solution Request for university to working close link with Industry partners/associations on a strategic frame work on a national persepective. Product development and production planning Knowledge of Design and advice for efficient production planning It is needed to produce deferent varieties and styles of garment to attract international market. Request on expertise design aspects and productivity improvement. Automation Semi-automated machinery Most of present Apparel industrial sector companies facing a problem of not having skilled machine operators. Therefore, they are envisaging using semi-automated machinery. But, it needs higher capital to import this machinery. The apparel sector industries have a request to develop semi-automated machinery as a collaborative project or experience advice to such machinery development. Energy management Energy Auditing and expertise advice on manufacturing cost reduction. In view of the global competition it is imperative to reduce the cost of local production at no loss of quality. Reduction in operating energy cost is considered as an option. Request on expertise advice on energy auditing and reduction of cost of energy. (Specially, cost of air-conditioning, innovative cooling methods) Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 42 - 13 4.3.4 Key requirements of Rubber and Tea Industry Various organizations and agencies provide essential assistance to the Sri Lanka rubber industry. From the public sector, the Ministry of Plantation Industries (MPI) primarily looks into the rubber growing sector’s needs. The Rubber Development Department (RDD) and the Rubber Research Institute (RRI) come under the purview of the MPI. RDD manages the smallholder support programs including the subsidy schemes and control the activities of the rubber trade. RRI serve both the plantation sector and the products manufacturing sector with technology related services. In the past, public sector activity in developing the Sri Lanka rubber industry had been limited by funding constraints. As a solution, an industry CESS was introduced in November 2004. In addition to the above, the Sri Lanka rubber industry has four trade associations that promote private sector interests. One of these is the Plastics and Rubber Institute of Sri Lanka (PRI), which conducts regular diploma courses in rubber and plastics technology and serves as the primary professional association in the rubber industry having its own headquarters with facilities to train personnel. PRI receives benefits from various donor agencies in conducting training programs and other value adding activities. The other three include, The Colombo Rubber Traders Association, (CRTA), the Planters’ Association of Ceylon (PA), which protect the interests of producers and traders and the Sri Lanka Association of Manufacturers and Exporters of Rubber Products (SLAMERP) - the apex body of rubber products manufacturers. The Tea Cluster plays an important role in the present structure of the Sri Lankan tea industry by creating a broad based forum representing all components of the industry value chain. In keeping to its mandate of promoting industry competitiveness, the Tea Cluster will continue to represent a forum where stakeholders could meet and facilitate debate and analyses in the long term interest of the industry. Sri Lanka is the world’s largest tea exporter with a 21 percent global export market share. Total world production in 2001 was 3.1 million tons with Sri Lanka’s share being 10%. About 44% of world production is CTC tea and 31% Orthodox tea, with green tea making up the balance. Sri Lanka competes mainly in the orthodox tea market where it has a 32% market share and is the leading producer. Sri Lanka receives a higher price for its tea exports compared to India, Kenya and Indonesia because Sri Lanka adds comparatively more value post-auction than other tea-producing countries. As more and more producers are attracted by the premium prices paid for orthodox Ceylon teas, Sri Lankan margins will be under threat. Industry Needs for University-Industry Linkage in SL - 43 - 14 Area Requirement Machinery development Machinery development Demand for more efficient small machinery and equipment development Innovative efficient designs and manufacturing methods.

International cooperation is employed as the tool for strengthening this link and the pilot project on the faculty of engineering, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka (UoM) through the efforts of the International Cooperation Center for Engineering Education Development (ICCEED) of Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT), Japan is described. The project implementation strategy & current status are presented and the expected output is highlighted. make use of the resulting industry experience back in the teaching programs & postgraduate research and national level contribution for local technology development. The strength of the university-industry linkage will depend on the closeness, mutual understanding of strengths & weaknesses, confidence with reference to either parties and on the effectiveness of the management of the activities in the linkage. 1.2 The Role of International Cooperation 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Importance of University-Industry linkage in Engineering Education In the strategy for promoting the knowledge intensive economic development, engineering education and research plays an utmost important role in order to enable the competitive use of knowledge for innovation and for providing solutions to the challenges of the humankind. It is the excellence in this science/engineering education and research that gives a country a competitive edge over the others with reference to the economic development. The excellence in engineering education and research is attributed to many factors among which the universityindustry linkage has proven to be very important. It is the most effective mechanism where both the university and the industry act as complementary organizations to share resources to achieve a common goal. The linkage would permit the flow of much needed funding to carry out research in universities either sponsored or collaborative nature, put into meaningful use of the knowledge & skills of the academics, possibilities of innovations of value to both university & industry respecting intellectual property rights, Experience has shown that engineering education and research thrive on exchanges across borders of all spheres. In this context, International Cooperation is recognized as an important mechanism that is mutually beneficial to the parties by whom the cooperation is formed of. From the perspective of developing countries, it has proven to be a handy mechanism with reference to engineering education & research, as an effective means of human resource development & institutional capacity building in regionally competitive local technological development. Moreover, the stimulation & synergy resulting from international cooperation can enhance the quality of research undertaken and reduce the financial burden. On the other hand, from the perspective of developed countries, international cooperation has been able to attract talented students who are eager to learn & conduct research under well-developed infrastructure. This enables the developed countries to enhance their quality of education, sustain their research activities, which in most cases threatened by diminishing interests of local students and also to get to know the technological needs in developing countries more precisely thereby opening new avenues for innovation [1]. Finally, on a global perspective, it will enable both developed as well as developing countries to work on a common platform to meet global challenges of economic & social development in a sustainable manner. This is an important element to all developing nations. 1 - 137 - 2 CHALLENGES FACED BY UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY LINKAGES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES 3 INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION CENTER FOR ENGINEERING EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT (ICCEED) OF TOYOHASHI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY (TUT) 2.1 University-Industry Linkage Strategies in Developed Countries University-industry linkage became an important element in the higher education policy circle even in developed countries only in the latter part of the 20th century. This was considered as a means of keeping up leading edge research, transfer & application of knowledge for social development and international competitiveness and had resulted in a drastic increase of commercialization of public research [2]. University-industry linkage facilitating the complementary advantages of working towards a common goal has been the major driving force in earnings of both parties. Provision of venture capital, intellectual property regulations and a national innovation system are specific features related to universityindustry linkage in developed countries. Having reached the state of a strong research & development base, the usual measures employed for the promotion of university-industry linkage are structural measures comprised of collaborative research centers, incubators, innovation & science creation centers, science & technology parks, etc. 2.2 Challenges Faced by Developing Countries in Employing Models of Developed Countries. Almost in all developing countries, the technical knowhow of most internationally competitive industries are imported from developed countries. This demands for an immediate term need of being acquainted with this technical knowhow and also the ability to adopt the technology to suit local conditions & practices [3]. Hence, the immediate term university-industry linkage requirement would be to meet these needs. However, in the long-term, developing countries need to establish their own science & technology capabilities in order to be in par with global trends and to be internationally competitive. In this regard, a major issue in developing countries is a serious lack in their research & development capabilities. If developing countries were to adopt the structural model of university-industry linkage of the developed world, they would have to first address the issue of lack of research & development capabilities during a transition period. In this scenario, international cooperation could play a vital role to enhance the research & development capabilities of the developing world in promoting university-industry linkage. However, for a more effective output, developing countries should focus on areas of their strengths and opportunities in line with government policies. 3.1 Philosophy & Structure of ICCEED The demand for human resources that could sustain the technological advancement, global environment and economy on a global scale is becoming stronger and the ability of developing countries in meeting the bottom line of this demand both in terms of quality & quantity is becoming weaker. The government of Japan implemented the Official Development Assistance (ODA) in extending the frontiers of education through international cooperation as a means of addressing the above issue. In response to this initiative TUT established the ICCEED in 2001. ICCEED aims to pioneer effective and efficient methods to foster researchers and experts who have potential and competitive power in the field of engineering in developing countries. The ICCEED has two divisions namely division of network & database development and the division of project development. It encompasses five priority areas indicated by research & development evaluation methods, construction of international cooperation network, research & development of engineering education projects, research & development of intellectual & human resource database and research on multilateral network in regional areas. The figure below (Fig. 3.1) indicates the organization structure of ICCEED. ICCEED is devoted to international cooperation activities to foster skillful and sensible engineers in many developing countries. The Steering Council of the ICCEED is comprised of officials from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science & technology, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Japan Bank of International Cooperation (JBIC), Association of National Colleges of Technology and other distinguished experts in order to provide advice on basic policy, activity plans and other relevant matters. In addition the Committee of Research Promotion Unit analyses the action plans decided by the Steering Council.

For example, Pathumwan Technical College Project (1993-2000), Thammasat University Expansion Project (19942001), Riyadh technical School of Electronics Promotion (1995-1998), Institut Teknologi Bangdung Reforms Support Project (1998-2000), Lampung University Support Project (1998-2000), ASEAN University Network/Southeast Asia Engineering Education Development Network Project (AUN/SEED-Net) (2001-2008), Higher Education Development Support Project (HEDS) (1990-2002). As for ICCEED, it has been active in evaluating the HEDS project, AUN/SEED-Net and more recently implementing engineering education development projects in Indonesia, Vietnam & Sri Lanka. 4 CASE OF SRI LANKA 4.1 Current status of Institutional Mechanism for universityindustry linkage As for engineering education in Sri Lanka, 03 public universities namely University of Moratuwa (UoM), University of Peradeniya (UoP) and University of Ruhuna (UoR) offer 04 year internal degree programs in engineering for an annual intake of about 1100 students while the Open University (OUSL) offers a degree program through distance learning mode, all accredited by the Institution of Engineers Sri Lanka (IESL). Further, several study programs within these degree programs have received international accreditation status. In addition, few engineering degree programs are also offered by institutes and by those, which are private and affiliated to foreign universities. In addition to undergraduate study programs, UoM & UoP also conducts postgraduate programs mainly at Masters level (M.Sc & M.Eng) and M.Phil & Ph.D programs through research. These postgraduate programs are offered in the part-time and in the full-time mode providing opportunities for the candidates from the industry to enroll. University-industry linkage has received acceptable degree of attention in engineering faculties in the most recent past. The faculties of engineering of UoM and UoP employ several mechanisms, which are similar in nature for the purpose of executing activities related to university-industry linkages. These mechanisms are undergraduate projects with some industry component, consultancy tasks by the faculty members at the request of industry, other outreach activities such as seminars, workshops, testing etc., Engineering Design Center of the faculty of engineering (EDC) and the University Industry Interaction Cell (UIIC) both established under Asian Development Bank (ADB) assistance. In addition, UoM has UNI-Consultancy Service (UNIC), which is the commercial arm of the university registered under company ordinance of In addition, individual departments have their Department Industry Consultative Boards (DICB) and the faculties as a whole have Faculty Industry Consultative Boards (FICB) to ineract with the industry with reference to policy and curricula development matters. Both DICB & FICB are comprised of board members who are carefully selected among distinguished engineering professionals from the local industry. In conclusion, it is observed that the engineering faculties in Sri Lank, at present, have put in place several mechanisms related to university-industry linkage activities. However, it is also observed that the output of these mechanisms are still far from expected levels due to many challenges and issues faced by the engineering education system. Among the challenges and issues faced by engineering education, the ones, which are related to university-industry linkages, are of importance. It is noted that universities are more oriented to knowledge & intellectual achievements and do not much exhibit a dynamic culture/environment of innovative research & development, targeting competitive use of knowledge for scientific & technical development. Further, it is noted that the transfer of knowledge through university industry links has not been very impressive compared to those in countries of similar social & economic development needs. In line with expenditure on tertiary education, funding for research & development is found to be relatively low. It is noted that the engineering faculties would have liked to have more patents, increase in number of industry consultancies & related income generated and more postgraduate work linked to addressing industry problems and related publications. Furthermore, the government being the key player in the tertiary education has not been able to be in par with the tertiary education expansion trends in the region. Strengthening the university-industry link is an important aspect in engineering education in Sri Lanka. It is the most effective mechanism where both the university and the industry could benefit at the same time. The linkage would permit the flow of much needed funding to carry out research in universities either sponsored or collaborative nature, put into meaningful use of the knowledge & skills of the academics, possibilities of innovations of value to both university & industry, make use of the resulting industry experience back in the teaching programs & postgraduate research and national level contribution of local technology development. In the national perspective, it is observed that many initiations are taking place and efforts are being consolidated among main stakeholders such as relevant Ministries, Science & Engineering universities and Industry Associations with he prime aim of strengthening the University-Industry- 3 - 139 - Government linkage related activities in view of developing the local science & technology base. 4.2 Description of Strategy with the ICCEEDs Cooperation University-industry linkage activities are not only a practice at TUT sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Sports, Culture, Science & Technology (MEXT) program of International Cooperation Initiative in Education but quite common in universities in Japan. Tokai area where TUT is located has a variety of industries dominated by automobile industries and TUT has good experiences of joint research activities with these industries. ICCEED has been engaged in the implementation of international cooperation projects, dispatching experts, accepting trainees and organizing seminars for fostering the development of engineering education. specific needs of the each of the thrust areas. During the implementation stage some projects will be selected from thrust areas and will be monitored for performance and evaluate the success of the model to be able to extend to few other developing countries. The Figure below (Fig. 4.1) indicates the organization structure of the pilot project. Japan TUT In this scenario, ICCEED has started a new project, which aims at introducing methods and experience of universityindustry linkage in Japan in strengthening university-industry linkages in developing countries. A pilot project targeting the Faculty of Engineering of University of Moratuwa (UoM) in Sri Lanka is being implemented with the hope of extending the success of the model to few other developing countries. The objectives of this project are (1) capacity building of university-industry linkage coordinators, (2) development of a monitoring & evaluation (M & E) mechanism of universityindustry linkage including intellectual property aspects (3) development of a sustainable mechanism of generation and management of a research fund. ICCEED has conducted a preliminary needs assessment survey of industry in Sri Lanka. In line with priorities & policies of the Ministry of Industrial Development and the impact potential, 05 thrust areas for university–industry linkage activities have been identified. These thrust areas are from the Globally linked and Policy linked industries as defined by the Ministry of Industrial Development. They are Textile & Apparel, Ceramics, Tea & Rubber representing Globally linked and Die & Moulding, Electrical & Electronic components representing Policy linked industries. Their value addition potential, use of local resources and contribution to the GDP have also been considered in the selection. Based upon the result of survey, ICCEED will organize seminars in Sri Lanka and Japan for selected participants from UoM. In the seminars in Japan, trainees will have opportunities to visit Japanese firms in order to observe practices of universityindustry linkage together with the matters related to intellectual property rights and management of technology. A certain level of capacity mobilization of the trainees is envisaged enabling them to understand the suitability of the models used in Japan as appropriate to Sri Lanka. Finally trainees are expected, with the assistance of Japanese experts, to develop an action plan to achieve the project objectives. Meantime, a detailed survey will be carried out to identify the IP Office ICCEED Sri Lanka Engineering Design Center Industry UoM Chamber of Industries Fig. 4.1 Pilot Project Organization Structure 5 REMARKS Universities in Sri Lanka are more oriented to provide theoretical knowledge & intellectual achievements and provide fewer opportunities for the fresh engineering graduates to develop critical thinking & skills oriented towards technology development. Moreover, the transfer of knowledge through university industry links has not been very impressive compared to those in countries of similar social & economic development needs in terms of standard criteria. This pilot project aims at strengthening the existing mechanism of university-industry linkage at the UoM through one of the international cooperation activities of ICCEED. From the UoM perspective, the project is looking forward for outputs of capacity building of university-industry linkage coordinators, development of a monitoring & evaluation (M & E) mechanism of university- industry linkage activities and also the development of a sustainable mechanism of generation and management of a research fund. It is also expected to increase the number of patents and industry related research projects resulting from the momentum gained by the project. Finally based on the success of the pilot project 4 - 140 - it is expected to extend the model to few other developing countries. From the perspective of TUT, Institute is interested in offering opportunities to smart students from abroad. It is observed that the international students not only stimulate Japanese students but also contribute to improvement quality and efficiency of research in the university. Out of 2000 students in TUT, there are about 180 international students and these international students contribute to improvement of quality of education at TUT.
