Takehito Kamata, Ph.D. conducts research on international collaborative research and involves in a wide range of international collaborative initiatives and projects such as the Strategic Alliance of Catholic Research Universities (SACRU), the MIRAI 2.0 (Swedish and Japanese universities), and other international initiatives to promote internationalization in higher education across nations. He is also the Founding International Collaboration URA (University Research Administrator) affiliated with the Center for Research Promotion & Support at Sophia University.
In the 2022-2023 academic year, he was a fellow in the inaugural Japan-U.S. Science Communication & Policy Fellowship Network Program to promote meaningful cooperation between Japan and the United States on global challenges by bridging a critical gap between science and policy.
As the president of the University of Minnesota’s Council of International Graduate Students (CIGS), he led the Student Service Fees funding request application process, for the first time in the University’s history, to have an independent budget for CIGS in promoting academic, professional, and social engagement among graduate and professional students in the 2015-2016 academic year.
In 2017, he received the Josef Mestenhauser Student Award for Excellence in Campus Internationalization that recognizes outstanding student contributions to international education. In 2018, he was also a Co-chair of the International Relations Committee in the College of Education and Human Development Alumni Society Board at the University of Minnesota.
As a member of an international academic honor society, he participated in the Collegiate Presidential Inaugural Conferences in Washington, D.C. in conjunction with the January Inaugurations of the President and Vice President of the United States in 2009 and 2013.
He was also the founding Co-Chairs of the East Asia Special Interest Group (SIG) in the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) from 2014 to 2018. The main goal of the East Asia SIG is to formalize and strengthen communication among scholars, professionals, and students who are interested in research on East Asian nations and states.
In 2023, he received the 2023 Alumni Award of Excellence by the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Minnesota.
His research focuses on the areas of “international research collaborations,” “science, technology, and innovation policy,” “higher education internationalization,” “research integrity,” and “Japan-United States relations.”
He earned his Ph.D. in higher education from the University of Minnesota. He also earned his B.S. in political science and international relations and M.P.A. in public administration from Minnesota State University, Mankato.

MIRAI 2.0 R&I Week 2023, Nov 15, 2023, MIRAI 2.0The workshop intends to provide opportunities to MIRAI members to learn the primary differences and commonalities of research integrity between Sweden and Japan. The concepts of transdisciplinary and international collaborative research will be introduced to help researchers and professionals communicate effectively to share ideas and define shared responsibilities in their transdisciplinary and international research collaborations. This workshop is designated for researchers (established, middle-career, and early-career) to start preparing for upcoming basic or applied international collaborative research in all academic disciplines ranging from the humanities and the social sciences to the natural sciences. Understanding the concepts of research integrity, transdisciplinary research, and international collaborative research will be also crucial to keep refining current and upcoming research collaborations for early-career researchers. In particular, researchers should focus on sharing various knowledge and skills in pursuing collaborative research opportunities with researchers around the world. In addition, administrative professionals, institutional officials, research administration personnel, funding agency staff, and other stakeholders need to work together to create more coordinated research infrastructure between Sweden and Japan. Sharing relevant information and knowledge on research integrity, transdisciplinary research, and international collaborative research will significantly influence how graduate students are trained, how early-career researchers understand their commitments and responsibilities, and how researchers will facilitate more productive international research collaborations. The workshop participants will have engaged discussions and understand how to modify the existing MIRAI research support structure to respond to the needs of researchers in our five TEGs.

Peer reviewNational Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine), 2018 - 2018In an increasingly interconnected world, perhaps it should come as no surprise that international collaboration in science and technology research is growing at a remarkable rate. As science and technology capabilities grow around the world, U.S.-based organizations are finding that international collaborations and partnerships provide unique opportunities to enhance research and training. International research agreements can serve many purposes, but data are always involved in these collaborations. The kinds of data in play within international research agreements varies widely and may range from financial and consumer data, to Earth and space data, to population behavior and health data, to specific project-generated data—this is just a narrow set of examples of research data but illustrates the breadth of possibilities. The uses of these data are various and require accounting for the effects of data access, use, and sharing on many different parties. Cultural, legal, policy, and technical concerns are also important determinants of what can be done in the realms of maintaining privacy, confidentiality, and security, and ethics is a lens through which the issues of data, data sharing, and research agreements can be viewed as well. A workshop held on March 14-16, 2018, in Washington, DC explored the changing opportunities and risks of data management and use across disciplinary domains. The third workshop in a series, participants gathered to examine advisory principles for consideration when developing international research agreements, in the pursuit of highlighting promising practices for sustaining and enabling international research collaborations at the highest ethical level possible. The intent of the workshop was to explore, through an ethical lens, the changing opportunities and risks associated with data management and use across disciplinary domains—all within the context of international research agreements. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
