academist is advancing various initiatives aimed at realizing an "open academic industry".
As the network of researchers expands, we have received inquiries from various companies such as "We want to continuously interact with young researchers", "We want to discover research seeds", and "We want to build connections with research labs in specific areas". Therefore, academist operates "academist Grant," a research grant support service that connects researchers and companies for support.
Academist's partner companies recruit researchers in the format of "◯◯ × academist Grant". The tasks related to recruitment (creating special pages, recruiting researchers, hosting online information sessions, creating and distributing posters, creating and tallying entry forms, etc.) are carried out by Academist.
We review the entries and select researchers who are compatible with your company's vision and what you want to achieve.
Selected researchers receive research funding in the most suitable way (such as donations or joint research funds) for their research projects as applied during entry. Your company will regularly exchange views with selected researchers to gain insights into research trends and explore collaboration possibilities.
{:"Optimized recruitment design for company needs"=>"The strength of academist Grant is in organizing and articulating how researchers can contribute to the future you want to achieve, leading to better collaboration. We design recruitment tailored to your company's needs without being bound by formats."}
{:"Visionary young researcher community"=>"academist is utilized by visionary young researchers, fostering active interactions within the community. By delivering the best recruitment to the most suitable researchers, we aim to improve both company and researcher values."}
{:"Nationwide information dissemination to universities and research institutions"=>"academist has a network with over 200 universities and research institutions. We share visions with these institutions daily, building trust. By continuously enhancing the brand power of academist Grant, we achieve comprehensive information dissemination nationwide."}
It is possible to reach researchers in all fields. academist Grant designs researcher recruitment methods based on the challenges your company wants to solve and promotes them. Promotion includes announcements to the academist researcher network, nationwide universities and research institutions, as well as utilizing social media and hosting online events.
academist Grant designs programs based on your company's vision beyond solving specific challenges, thus its strength lies in matching with researchers who have related technical expertise rather than specific solutions. As a result, unexpected matches or collaborations have occurred, leading to insights and potential collaborations.
