Basic Principles of Academic Research Collaboration with External Bodies
On May 29, 1990, Waseda University established guidelines on academic research collaboration with external bodies, and the Review Committee for Academic Research Collaboration with External Bodies (hereinafter referred to as the “Guideline Committee”) began examining and evaluating academic research collaboration programs with external bodies, etc., for the acceptance of external funding.
