Social Partnerships and Community Service

In keeping with the school philosophy of contributing to the “achievement of a healthy and happy life for all people,” Keio University makes its intellectual resources available to the public and local communities, working together with residents to build a prosperous future society.

Under its Policy on Community and Regional Collaboration and related policies, Keio University has developed a number of proactive social partnerships and community service activities based on the expertise of each faculty, graduate school, research center, and institute, promoting mutually beneficial partnerships with society and local communities. A dedicated organization, the Office of Community and Regional Affairs, serves as the external contact point for community and social cooperation both within and outside the university, and works systematically and organically to promote collaboration and partnerships with society and communities.
