Engage with
Keio from
around
the globe

Based on our founder Yukichi Fukuzawa's "spirit of practical learning" (or Jitsugaku), Keio University aims to further contribute to society through its activities in education, research, and medical care by taking a cross-disciplinary approach, harnessing the strengths we possess as a comprehensive university.
There are many significant challenges the world is facing today, but some of the most important issues that Japan in particular must address first include the declining birthrate and aging population, creation of new values in tandem with the proliferation of generative AI, and those related to the security of the economy, region, and daily life.
To solve these issues, Keio University is conducting cross-disciplinary research centered on its three interdisciplinary research initiatives of "Longevity," "Security," and "Creativity." As part of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's (MEXT) Top Global University Project, which ran from AY2014 to AY2023, we conceptualized the theme of "Enhancing Sustainability of Global Society Through Jitsugaku," and advanced the research and educational programs of each initiative.
Drawing upon the ten years of experience gleaned from the TGU Project, we will continue to contribute to the development of a global society and nurture future leaders of the world by strengthening collaboration with our international partner institutions, and promoting advanced interdisciplinary and international research.
