Business Overview
The University Consortium Kyoto has been holding the FD Forum every year since 1995 with the aim of raising awareness of FD among university faculty and staff and contributing to the improvement of university education. From the 2024 academic year, in order to improve the quality of education and university management from a broader perspective, the name of the forum has been changed to “FD/SD Forum” and will be held in a form that incorporates SD elements more than ever before. This is an event related to FD and SD, which is attended by many university faculty members and educators from all over the country.
