Outline of Final Research Achievements

For this study, an international comparative survey was performed in Europe, America, Australia, and Japan, to gain information on opinions about the appropriate directions for academics and society in the 21st century. The results were shared in research papers, reports at international academic conferences, and academic books. They demonstrate the likelihood that 21st-century society and its academic approaches will be shaped in important ways by the concepts of cooperation across different fields, inter-professional education and work, citizenship, and social responsibility.
The results from the research period have been used in three refereed research papers (two Japanese texts, one English text), six refereed reports at international academic conferences, and five books (one main edition, two co-authored, two translations).
