Tech Manage has entered into a business partnership agreement with Acaric Co., Ltd., a company specializing in career support for graduate students and researchers.

Through this partnership, we aim to strengthen recruitment support for University Research Administrators (URAs), professionals who play a key role in advancing university research, while also helping universities enhance their research support systems and expand career opportunities for doctoral talent.

Background: Growing Demand for URAs and Recruitment Challenges

In recent years, demand for University Research Administrators (URAs) has been growing rapidly, driven by factors such as the increasing requirements of large-scale national research programs and the expansion of industry-academia collaboration.

At the same time, universities face difficulties in attracting applicants due in part to limited awareness of the URA profession, making the recruitment of qualified personnel an ongoing challenge.

Initiatives Under the Partnership and the Roles of Both Companies

Under this partnership, Tech Manage, which has a nationwide network of universities and research institutions, will work together with Acaric, which has extensive expertise in career support for doctoral and postdoctoral talent, to promote effective matching between universities and qualified URA candidates.

• Tech Manage’s role: Quickly identify and share universities’ URA recruitment needs and challenges based on our experience in technology transfer and university support.
• Acaric’s role: Utilize its professional talent network, including “Acaric Career,” to introduce and match suitable candidates according to universities’ needs.

Tech Manage will continue contributing to the development of stronger research support systems that form the foundation of industry-academia collaboration.
