Business Overview
In the 2018 academic year, the name of “Kyoto FD Executive School” was changed to “University Executive School”.
Since its establishment in 1995, shortly after its establishment, the University Consortium Kyoto has been promoting FD activities in the Kyoto region together with member universities as an organizational initiative for faculty members to improve and enhance their teaching content and methods.
This project has been held since 2010 as a study group for university executives, including the presidents of member schools.
In the meantime, SD became mandatory due to the revision of the Standards for the Establishment of Universities in April 2017, and while university executives are required to provide training not only for FD but also for university management in general, the name of this project was changed to “University Executive School” in 2018 in order to cover not only FD but also a wide range of themes related to university management in general.
Outline of the event
University Executive School (Lecture to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the foundation’s establishment)
We will hold the 2019 University Executive School (25th Anniversary Lecture) of the Foundation!
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the University Consortium Kyoto, we have decided to expand the number of participants and hold a grand lecture to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the University Executive School, which is usually held for university executives.
As the first university consortium organization in Japan, the Foundation has been working with member universities and junior colleges to collaborate with the Kyoto region, industry, the business community, and local governments. In the meantime, the environment surrounding higher education institutions has been changing rapidly due to the decline in the number of 18-year-olds, the advent of Society 5.0 due to the sophistication of AI and IoT, the advent of the era of the 100-year lifespan, and accelerating globalization.
In light of these changes in society, Kyoto Seika University President Oussouby Sako will give a lecture titled “The Globalization of Society and the Future of Japan Universities.”
Even those of you who are not directly involved in university management are encouraged to participate as an opportunity to learn about the situation surrounding the university.

Implementation Report
On Saturday, June 28, 2019, the 2019 University Executive School was held.
In response to the Foundation’s 25th anniversary in March 2019, this lecture was held to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Foundation’s establishment.
This year, Kyoto Seika University President Oussouby Sako gave a lecture titled “Globalization Society and the Future of Japan Universities.” On the day of the event, 103 people from university administration, university officials, local government officials, and private companies participated.
In his lecture, he spoke about the importance of supporting international students, stating that “mutual understanding between Japan and international students is important, and it is necessary to develop a society and human resources that can deepen mutual understanding while acknowledging differences between one’s own culture and other cultures and differences in consciousness” based on his own experience studying abroad.
Furthermore, regarding the diversification of universities, he stated, “It is important for each university to value its individuality and coexist with each other,” and concluded that he expects the Foundation to understand and support the globalization projects promoted by its member universities in the future, as well as to provide information on related educational policies.
Participants commented, “I listened with great interest to a lecture on globalization based on a variety of experiences,” “I was able to hear opinions on the future of universities and their roles,” and “I recognized the importance of a system that accepts diversity.”
