The purpose of this Project is to discover, develop, and facilitate the activities of talented individuals who can fully utilize advanced data-related technologies and synergize them with data science ("Data Utilizing Experts"). Such experts are needed for Japan to survive the fourth industrial revolution.

The Center for Mathematical Modeling and Data Science (MMDS), as a co-lead organization, has formed a nationwide network and leverages its strengths to provide internships through interactive matching between companies and students, study groups targeting interdisciplinary cooperation and joint industry-university research, practical training programs through PBL (problem-based learning), career development support, technical consultations, lectures, study sessions, and other opportunities for open discussion and personnel exchanges.

The Human Resource Association of Mathematics (HRAM) was established in March 2019 as an initiative of MMDS at Osaka University. HRAM aims to develop mathematical experts and to revitalize related industries. The Association provides a series of lectures from Japan's top universities on mathematical modeling and data science (fundamental study) and practical training in which students handle actual data. Through such initiatives, HRAM develops data-related technological experts required by industry and incubates industry-university co-creation projects.

MMDS has established a technical consultation desk to provide a wide range of consultation services for mathematical problems related to industrial technology both inside and outside Osaka University.
