In collaboration with Kyoto City, our foundation will widely disseminate examples of collaboration between universities, students, and local communities in the city, as well as host a University-Community Collaboration Summit as an opportunity for interaction between universities, students, and local organizations involved in community collaboration activities.
On the day, there will be case study presentations by universities selected for the “Academic City Collaborative University” Promotion Project, keynote speeches by guests, and a poster session (panel presentations of case studies and exchanges of opinions, etc.) by universities, students, and local groups engaged in university-community collaboration activities in Kyoto City.
From the lectures and reports on various activities, why not find hints for further deepening collaboration with universities, students, and the local community, aiming for new possibilities for collaboration and further revitalization of the local community?

Event Report
The 2017 University-Community Collaboration Summit was held at Campus Plaza Kyoto on Sunday, November 12th.
In the first part of the event, Professor Tomohiro Taniguchi of Fukuchiyama Public University gave a lecture on the theme of “Let’s have fun in the town. ~ Creating a town where the local community, students, and faculty don’t get tired~”.
Part 1: Keynote speech by Tomohiro Taniguchi
After the keynote speech, faculty, staff, and students from the universities selected in the “Learning-City Collaboration University” Promotion Project (Otani University, Kyoto University of Education, Kyoto Women’s University, Kyoto Tachibana University, Doshisha Women’s College of Liberal Arts, and Ryukoku University) reported on the status of their respective universities’ community collaboration efforts.

In the second part, a poster session was held to introduce examples of urban development by universities, students, and the local community. 20 local organizations participated and introduced their distinctive initiatives. There was lively exchange of opinions and interaction between visitors and poster session presenters.
*The exhibited posters are linked to the list of poster session exhibitors below.
Part 2: Poster session
After the second session, a social gathering was held for poster session presenters. Participants were divided into tables of four and introduced themselves and their activities. They then gathered at tables with themes proposed by the participants that interested them and discussed them.
Although everyone was nervous at first in the unfamiliar situation, they gradually relaxed as the meeting began and exchanged opinions in a relaxed atmosphere.
Participants commented, “It was good to be able to interact with people of various ages and from other universities and to get opinions from new perspectives.” “Until now, we have had little contact with other organizations and did not know how they were operating, so it was good to hear the opinions of people of the same age.” “I was able to exchange contact information with several people, and I think it was an opportunity to further expand the scope of our activities.”
