Event Overview
theme
“Future collaboration among higher education institutions” to support the region
– Thinking together about the future of the consortium
Purpose of the conference
The Central Council for Education’s February 2025 report, “A Vision for Improving Japan’s ‘Total Knowledge’: Reconstructing the Higher Education System,” states: “Promoting regional revitalization through human resource development at local higher education institutions will lead to the formation of diverse educational and research environments that leverage Japan’s diverse cultures, and is expected to attract outstanding students from all over Japan and around the world. It is conceivable that a positive cycle will be created where students with diverse cultural backgrounds, while spending time on campus, will learn about the charm of the region that nurtured the higher education institution, and by forming personal networks, will develop affection and pride for the region, leading them to continue their involvement with the region even after graduation. It is expected that the existence of attractive regional higher education institutions will become learning opportunities for prospective students residing in rural areas.”
