It will be held on Sunday (Tuesday). * Through the coronavirus pandemic, DX to reform educational systems such as online classes and the work of faculty and staff has progressed at higher education institutions across the country, changing the state of university management including human resources and general affairs, and the quality of student life through data analysis.

* “Innovation in university operations accelerated by Amazon ─ What are universities doing to achieve an “overwhelming” reduction in man-hours? ─”
In an era of accelerating digitalization, DX initiatives at
universities have an important meaning as they are directly linked to improving the educational environment. In this session, we will introduce Amazon’s system to support a culture of innovation, as well as an overview of “Amazon Business” that supports back-office efficiency, and examples of reform at universities across the country. Reviewing daily business processes such as purchasing and accounting has the potential to significantly reduce man-hours. Would you like to learn the next step to promote university DX?

With the revision of the travel expenses system for national civil servants, it is expected that the types and amount of evidence submitted for research funds will increase, and educational
