SUMMARY:Bridging the Gap: Sustainable Collaboration between CG Production 
 and Educational Institutions
DESCRIPTION:Educator's Forum\n\nHarutaka Matsunaga, Yukari Nagai, and Kazu
 nori Miyata (Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST))\n
 \nThis study explores the importance of industry–academia collaboration in
  Japan's Computer Graphics (CG) entertainment industry (animation, games, 
 visual effects, etc.) and the employment issues of new graduates, proposin
 g sustainable solutions. Building cooperative relationships between the in
 dustry and academia is a perennial challenge. As the skills and needs requ
 ired in industry diversify, especially in the CG entertainment industry, t
 here is a gap between the skill sets possessed by new graduates and those 
 demanded by employers. In other words, there is a gap between education an
 d practice. However, to date, these issues have not been sufficiently disc
 ussed or resolved. In this paper, we analyze the problem from multiple per
 spectives: the practical experience of educators, the need for educators t
 o maintain proficiency in the latest technology, information asymmetry bet
 ween education and industry, the establishment of evaluation criteria for 
 soft skills, and the lack of teachers capable of providing specialized edu
 cation. We then propose specific solutions: collaboration between educatio
 nal institutions and CG production companies in creating sustainable educa
 tional programs that provide students with practical skills while simultan
 eously addressing the shortage of educators. This study aims to provide ne
 w perspectives for educators, students, and the CG production industry, wh
 ich may lead to identifying new ways in CG entertainment education and fac
 ilitating contributions from the respective perspectives of these stakehol
 ders. We hope this paper will serve as a reference when exploring new fram
 eworks for industry–academia collaboration.\n\nRegistration Category: Full
