◆ Award Details:
Best Oral Presentation Award
Title: IR-Driven Research Management Using the Management Planning DX System "ReCo"
 
The Office of Management and Planning at Osaka University has originally developed a system called "ReCo" to analyze and visualize the university's management and research capabilities. This innovative system integrates advanced analytical algorithms to unify and analyze a broad range of data related to management and research capacities, collected from both within and outside the university. In this award-winning presentation, we introduced groundbreaking work in IR-driven research management reform, showcasing the creation of our original Management Planning DX system "ReCo". 

◆Awardee's Comment:
We are deeply honored to receive such a prestigious award.
At the Office of Management and Planning, we have weekly meetings with the university executives, where we respond to new challenges presented each time by the following week. Through this repeated "drill," we have gained a clearer understanding of the kinds of data analyses that genuinely support executive decision-making. "ReCo" embodies this tacit knowledge, articulated and transformed into a program. We will continue to evolve "ReCo" as a foundation for providing data-informed decision-making. Please look forward to further advancements!
