Aiming to Be a World-Class
Research University Centered on Knowledge Integration

In this century, developed countries including Japan have been facing many difficult challenges such as low growth, financial crises, low birthrate, aging population, infectious diseases, large-scale disasters, and environmental problems. It is precisely in these times that national universities must contribute to research development, creation of new value, and innovation. Based on the principles of practicality, innovation, openness, and internationality inscribed in the University Charter and fostered throughout its history since its foundation, Yokohama National University has brought together faculty members with diverse specialties such as humanities, social sciences, science, and engineering at One Campus to provide education and carry out research that emphasizes the practical application of knowledge, and has achieved front-line research results in various fields.

Building on these achievements, we hope to continue to be at the center of innovation in our country and region. To this end, we aim to become a world-class research university centered on knowledge integration that contributes to the “proposal of new social and economic systems” as well as “innovation and development of science and technology” by mobilizing diverse academic and practical knowledge and by openly collaborating with various industries, regions, communities, and citizens, both domestically and internationally, across disciplines. At the same time, we would like to share this vision not only with faculty and staff members, but also with students, parents, alumni, and the local community, so that we can grow together.

President of Yokohama National University
