Perspectives of Intern, Faculty, and Mentor（Case studies）
Students, companies, and faculty members discussed the details of their research internships. The students talked about their purpose of participating in the internship, their life during the internship, the results, changes after the internship, and the impact of the internship on their career choices. In contrast, the companies talked about their approach to theme selection, their impressions through the internship, and the results of working with the students.

Challenge Yourself with Research Internship──Create the Seeds to Cultivate the Future
Research internships have been said to be beneficial for students and companies, but it has been very difficult to spread and establish them. We are tackling this problem by forming a consortium of universities and companies to create, disseminate and promote a new and unprecedented internship format.
University coordinators act as liaisons between students, university teaching staff and companies and coordinate each case individually, thus improving the quality of research internships and expanding their volume. We are also accumulating know-how on the implementation of internships, and some good practices are already being developed. We are convinced that building on these examples and continuing the collaboration and communication will lead to the creation of innovations.
