In order to improve the attractiveness of “Kyoto City of Universities and Kyoto City of Students,” Kyoto City has been steadily promoting the measures of the “Kyoto City of Universities and Students’ Town Kyoto Promotion Plan 2014-2018,” which was formulated in collaboration with the University Consortium Kyoto in the 2018 academic year. Since this is the final year of this plan, we will formulate the “University Town Kyoto and Student City Kyoto Promotion Plan 2019-2023” as a guideline for new university policies to become “University City Kyoto and Student City Kyoto” in light of changes in the social situation surrounding universities and students.
In order to make this plan widely known to students, we are looking for cover designs for this plan booklet.
