In 2027, the University of Tokyo will celebrate our 150th anniversary. That celebration will be about more than the growth of a single institution.
It will retrace the past century and a half, a period when modern Japan opened up to the world and people’s lives and the environment were transformed. Reflecting on that history, we want this anniversary to be an opportunity to reconsider the role that the University of Tokyo should play in protecting our planet and building a better society.
To create a future where knowledge has value and power, a future that nurtures happiness and the kyozon of harmonious coexistence, the University of Tokyo must stand at the forefront of scholarship, transcending existing divisions and building new connections with society.
We thus embark on this commemoration with aspirations for the next 150 years. Along with the fundamental principles of UTokyo Compass—Knowledge, People, and Place—we center our upcoming anniversary around the following three ideas.
Here, we introduce messages of support as well as videos looking back on UTokyo’s history.
We are planning a variety of events for the 150th anniversary of UTokyo’s founding.
