At Kyoto University, we aim to provide
our students and researchers
with a WINDOW to society, the world,
and all of the possibilities therein.

The Six Objectives of the WINDOW Concept

• Wild and Wise

  

  Fostering in our students the practical skills and resources to venture into new realms
  of knowledge, together with sound judgment and decision-making skills.

• International and Innovative

  

  Enhancing and internationalizing our education and research environment to
  provide increasingly fertile ground for innovation and new developments.

• Natural and Noble

  

  Looking to nature as our closest and greatest teacher, and maintaining
  an awareness of our human dignity as part of the natural world.

• Diverse and Dynamic

  

  Maintaining an open mind towards diverse cultures and ways of thinking,
  and providing a calm vantage point from which our scholars can approach their
  studies, informed by the vast span of history.

• Original and Optimistic

  

  Cultivating the ability to fearlessly embrace errors and criticism as opportunities to
  learn new perspectives and integrate them into our path to success.

• Women and Wish

  

  Providing an environment that fosters aspiration and confidence
  through the Action Plan for the Promotion of Gender Equality and support for student
  career-path development.
