🇬🇧🇯🇵 VP Tsuchiya Speaks at Edward Boyle Memorial Lecture
Professor Motohiro Tsuchiya, vice-president for global engagement at Keio University, was a panelist during the 2025 Edward Boyle Memorial Lecture.

The event was co-organized by the University of Leeds, the Royal Society of Arts, and RENKEI, a Japan-UK consortium of research universities co-chaired by Vice-President Tsuchiya.

The theme of this year’s lecture was “The Importance of Global Partnerships in Higher Education.” During the panel, he touched upon Keio University founder Yukichi Fukuzawa’s experiences visiting the Great London Expedition and the trip’s impact on his seminal work “Things Western (Seiyō Jijō),” as well as the importance of preserving international university partnerships like RENKEI.

Earlier this month, Keio University and the University of Cologne co-hosted a symposium organized by the German Center for Research and Innovation in Tokyo (DWIH Tokyo).

The event, which focused on innovations for aging populations, brought together experts from academia, government, and industry in both Germany and Japan. Participants included Professor Joybrato Mukherjee, president of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and rector of the University of Cologne, as well as President Kohei Itoh and Vice-President Motohiro Tsuchiya from Keio University.

🏕️📚 X-Ship Global Survival Camp 2025 Earl

🏕️📚 X-Ship Global Survival Camp 2025

Earlier this summer, Keio held its annual X-Ship Global Survival Camp at a lodge located in Yamanakako, a small lakeside village at the base of Mt. Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture.

The goal of the camp is to nurture various “X-ship qualities,” such as friendship, leadership, fellowship, and ownership, that form the foundation of Keio’s mission to raise up leaders and luminaries.

Students were sorted into “houses” to take on challenges—each house consisting of 4 elementary school students, 2 junior / senior high school students, and 3 undergraduate / graduate / international students.

Over the course of the three-day camp, participants worked together to set up tents and campfires, cook, and engage in various workshops that taught survival skills like laying emergency tarps and Morse code.

🔬🧪 Empowering Girls in STEM at Keio Science

🔬🧪 Empowering Girls in STEM at Keio Science and Technology

“The world is calling for DEI, and research is no different. When people of diverse backgrounds come together, new discoveries and ideas emerge. In that sense, women in STEM can make major contributions to the advancement of science and technology in Japan and globally.”

In August, the Faculty of Science and Technology hosted Girls Meet STEM at Keio Science and Technology 2025 at Yagami Campus, an event organized for girls in junior and high school.

Participants joined a tour that started at the Yagami Innovation Laboratory (YIL), where they learned about the history, ethos, and activities of the undergraduate faculty. They then broke into smaller groups for student-led tours, visiting labs housing atomic force microscopes, quantum computers, robotics studios, and more.

Following the tour, participants sat with current students of diverse backgrounds, who shared and answered questions about their experiences of studying STEM at Keio.
