Kyozon:
Toward the University of Tokyo¡¯s 150th Anniversary

In 2027, the University of Tokyo will celebrate our 150th anniversary. That celebration will be about more than the growth of a single institution.

It will retrace the past century and a half, a period when modern Japan opened up to the world and people¡¯s lives and the environment were transformed. Reflecting on that history, we want this anniversary to be an opportunity to reconsider the role that the University of Tokyo should play in protecting our planet and building a better society.

To create a future where knowledge has value and power, a future that nurtures happiness and the kyozon of harmonious coexistence, the University of Tokyo must stand at the forefront of scholarship, transcending existing divisions and building new connections with society.

We thus embark on this commemoration with aspirations for the next 150 years. Along with the fundamental principles of 500²ÊÆ±Íø Compass¡ªKnowledge, People, and Place¡ªwe center our upcoming anniversary around the following three ideas.
