As a beginning, the history of MAZDA shows our brand essence is the challenge.
For the future mobility, society requires the more efficient and safer vehicle. MAZDA focal point for future mobility is how to utilize human capability based on some idea with highly efficient and safe vehicle. MAZDA has made a big effort to virtualize such a complicated vehicle development through the Model Based Development (MBD). This enables us "Suriawase2.0" which promoted by METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) to revitalize automotive industry through the model exchange among academia, OEM and suppliers. Suriawase2.0 is aiming for deeper collaboration with each parties through the model. To realize this ideal situation, establishing model exchange scheme and education are the keys. METI working group established an interface guideline for plant model exchange with global collaboration.
"Hiroshima Council for the Promotion of Collaboration between Government, Academia and the Automobile Industry" has a key role for promoting MBD activities. The important focal points are the establishing the research concept MBR (Model Based Research) to enable the academia results to transfer industry immediately, and establishing regional consistent MBD education program to enable the rich regional human resources executing MBD.

Your researchers are collaborating internationally. Your institution has an internationalization plan. You may have managed research funded by an international funder. Then you are working internationally but are you collaborating with your colleagues' counterparts in other countries?

This session presents the experience of three trans-national research management and administration collaborations (total countries engaged = 24 countries in North & South America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australasia) designed to build the knowledge base and develop some tools to enable collaboration that at the end of the day promises to improve our own performance at home. We will discuss the work of each group and we will also focus on our experiences identifying the opportunities, challenges, barriers and enablers of working across distance, time and cultures.

If you're already doing this then join us to share your stories because this session is about you as much as it is about us! If not, why not? Join us to share your questions, hopes and fears.
