In collaboration with Kyoto City, the Foundation will widely disseminate examples of collaboration between universities and students and local communities in the city, and will hold the “University and Regional Cooperation Summit” as an opportunity for universities, students, and local organizations involved in regional collaboration activities to interact.
On the day of the event, there will be case studies presentations by universities that have been selected for the “Academic City Collaborative Universities” Promotion Project, keynote speeches by guests, and poster sessions (panel presentations and exchanges of opinions) by universities, students, and local organizations engaged in university-regional collaboration activities in Kyoto City.
From the lectures and reports on various activity examples, we hope to find hints for further deepening cooperation with the aim of creating new possibilities for collaboration between universities and students and the local community, and further revitalization of the region!

Event Report
On Sunday, November 12, 2017 the 2017 “University and Regional Collaboration Summit” was held at Campus Plaza Kyoto.
In the first part of the event, Professor Tomohiro Taniguchi of Fukuchiyama Public University gave a lecture on the theme of “Let’s play in the city ~Creating a city where the community, students, and faculty and staff do not get tired~”.
Part 1: Keynote speech by Tomohiro Taniguchi
After the keynote speech, faculty members and students of the universities selected for the “Academic City Collaborative Universities” promotion project (Otani University, Kyoto University of Education, Kyoto Women’s University, Kyoto Tachibana University, Doshisha Women’s University, and Ryukoku University) reported on the status of their regional collaboration initiatives.
Part 1: Case study presentations by universities selected for the “Academic City Collaborative University” Promotion Project
In the second part, a poster session was held to introduce examples of community development by universities, students, and local communities. Twenty organizations active in the community participated, and distinctive initiatives were introduced. Visitors, poster sessions, and presenters actively exchanged opinions and exchanges with each other.
*For exhibition posters, please link to the list of poster session exhibitors below.
Part 2: Poster Session
After the end of the second part, a social gathering was held for poster session presenters. The participants were divided into tables of four to introduce themselves and activities, and then gathered at a table to discuss the themes they were interested in from among the themes proposed by the participants.
At first, everyone was nervous about the unfamiliar situation, but when the meeting started, the tension gradually eased, and opinions were exchanged in a friendly atmosphere.
Participants commented, “It was good to be able to interact with people of various ages and other universities, and to receive opinions from new perspectives,” and “I was glad to hear the opinions of my peers because I had little interaction with other organizations and did not know how they worked.” We received comments such as, “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.”
