An open-minded and dynamic university

Based on Keio founder Yukichi Fukuzawa’s spirit of jitsugaku (practical learning), and taking as the school philosophy the implementation of transdisciplinary and international education, research, and healthcare, we aim to give back to society at large through the nurturing of researchers and students who will create new values and pave the way to future society through scholarship. We will meanwhile continue to develop alongside the community as an open-minded and dynamic university.

The Office of Community and Regional Affairs collates information from its diverse-format community and regional affairs initiatives and promotes reciprocal ties with communities and regions, deployed through faculties, graduate schools, and research institutes, based on the guiding principles of Keio University. In addition, we serve as an outward-facing liaison for consultation on community and regional collaboration both inside and outside the university, to systematically and holistically engage with collaborative initiatives involving the community and regions (organizational system for community and regional collaboration).
