The 2nd D&I Campaign

Campaign Objectives
Among the Diversity & Inclusion plans outlined in 500²ÊÆ±Íø Compass, the University of Tokyo aims to make our initiatives related to “Nurture Inclusiveness and Capacity for Creative Dialogue” in particular more widely known both inside and outside the University. By doing so, we work to spread awareness of 500²ÊÆ±Íø Compass, as well as gain the trust of society, increasing international and domestic support and empathy for 500²ÊÆ±Íø’s role in the world.
In order to get 500²ÊÆ±Íø members themselves to notice and recognize the diversity that the University possesses, we will work to visualize various aspects of the University.
