Business summary
Since its establishment in 1994, the University Consortium Kyoto (hereinafter referred to as the “Foundation”) has been supporting the Kyoto region, including member universities and junior colleges (hereinafter referred to as “member schools”) and member local governments and economic organizations. In collaboration with various organizations, we have been working on a variety of advanced and challenging projects ahead of other consortium organizations nationwide.
Meanwhile, a quarter of a century has passed since the Foundation was established, and the social and higher education situations surrounding the Foundation and its member schools have changed dramatically due to the impact of the new coronavirus infection that spread in early 2020. .
In light of this situation, under the “designated research themes” that started in fiscal 2015, the Foundation outsources research that contributes to solving project issues to faculty members at member schools who specialize in the relevant fields, and uses the results to contribute to the project. It is used for review, improvement, new development, and advancement.

About designated research topics
In response to the formulation of the Foundation’s medium-term plan, the 6th Stage Plan (2024-2028), the “designated research themes” that have been implemented since the 4th stage are projects that will contribute to the further development of member schools and the Kyoto region. In order to achieve this goal, we have decided to expand the scope of research topics and, from FY 2025, to progressively resolve this issue as a “joint research project.”
