In order to improve the attractiveness of “Kyoto City of Universities and Kyoto City of Students,” Kyoto City has been steadily promoting the measures of the “Kyoto City of Universities and Students’ Town Kyoto Promotion Plan 2014-2018,” which was formulated in collaboration with the University Consortium Kyoto in the 2018 academic year. Since this is the final year of this plan, we will formulate the “University Town Kyoto and Student City Kyoto Promotion Plan 2019-2023” as a guideline for new university policies to become “University City Kyoto and Student City Kyoto” in light of changes in the social situation surrounding universities and students.
In order to make this plan widely known to students, we are looking for cover designs for this plan booklet.

Autumn is the season of school festivals. At each university and junior college, the executive committee members are making elaborate plans for the school festival. It is also interesting that each university has its own personality, such as various projects and mock shops by each club and circle, and appearances by famous cultural figures, singers, and celebrities. Of course, it is attractive that not only university students, but also high school students and the general public can visit. Why don’t you experience a different university atmosphere that you can’t experience at an open campus? Here is all the information on each university’s school festival!
This is a list of major events organized by the University Consortium Kyoto in 2017.
The schedule can be found below. (“New” is a new business in fiscal 2017.) ）
Every Monday and from December 28 to January 4, Campus Plaza Kyoto is closed.
Please be careful.

The Consortium of Universities in Kyoto’s newsletter “THE CONSORTIUM OF UNIVERSITIES IN KYOTO” No.48 has been published! This time, we would like to introduce the special projects that we are posting.
As part of the university’s reforms, Otani University and Otani University Junior College announced the concept of making it a multi-faculty for the first time since its opening. In April 2018, the Faculty of Sociology and the Faculty of Education (both tentative names) were added to the traditional Faculty of Letters, and a three-faculty system was envisioned, and in parallel, a long-term comprehensive campus development plan was implemented based on the “Five Basic Policies” indicated in the Grand Design. In this interview, we interviewed President Yasushi Kikoshi about the background of the university reform, the aim of the grand design, and his expectations for the University Consortium Kyoto.
We would like to introduce the “Gakumachi Collaborative University” Promotion Project (a collaborative project with Kyoto City) and the “University and Regional Collaboration Summit” (nickname×: Gachi Link), which began in 2016.
In 2015, the University Consortium Kyoto established the International Student Study Kyoto Network, which serves as the secretariat, to further strengthen its efforts to attract and support international students.
I would like to introduce two of our various initiatives.
In addition, the University Consortium Kyoto’s support project for students with disabilities, a collection of case studies of community development, initiatives for each project in 2017, and information information are also posted.
Q: What is the motif of the logo of the University Consortium Kyoto? (There are three choices)
(1) Kimono obi (2) Mari (3) Möbius ring
The answer was: (2) Mari!
The logo was created by a student who belonged to the Faculty of Arts, Osaka Seikei University.
In 2004, this work was selected as the grand prize out of a large number of applications, and was adopted as the logo.

◇ Producer’s comment
We created it with the image of a maroon that makes Kyoto smell internationally.
Since ancient times, everyone has kicked each other, tied the knot, and enjoyed each other, and we thought it would be the best way to create an image of Kyoto’s regional cooperation.
I thought that the “circle” of collaboration was a concise and clear image of university collaboration and education where it is important for everyone to “connect” with each other.
The beauty of Kyoto = “Wheel” is to eliminate unnecessary things and pursue things that are simple and meet needs. And above all, the charm of “Japanese” is that it is “beautiful to look at”.
We calculated the color rendering to make the colors of Kyoto look more beautiful, and valued the instantaneous beauty.

Autumn and winter are the seasons when many people come to Kyoto. Why don’t you visit the university’s open campus along with your plans to visit Kyoto on the weekend?
There are also many events, such as mock classes that you can imagine after entering Mr./Ms.the university, and tours by Mr./Ms. Mr./Ms. older brothers and sisters of university students. There are also opportunities for 1st and 2nd graders and parents to participate. Mr./Ms. who couldn’t go to the tour during the summer vacation is still okay! Let’s feel the atmosphere of the university campus and get to know the university of your dreams more deeply!

The earthquake that occurred intermittently from April 14, 28 (Thursday) has caused a great deal of damage, mainly in Kumamoto Prefecture.
We would like to express our deepest sympathies to all those affected by the disaster and pray for the earliest possible recovery and reconstruction of the affected areas.
Kyoto City and the University Consortium Kyoto have set up a donation box on the first floor of Campus Plaza Kyoto to support those affected by the disaster and are collecting donations. The donations will be delivered to the victims through the Japan Red Cross Society. Thank you for your cooperation.

The nationwide traffic safety campaign in the fall of Heisei 26 will be held nationwide for 10 days from September 21 (Sunday) to September 30 (Tuesday). I hope that the citizens of the prefecture will take this opportunity to deepen their understanding of traffic safety once again.
