On August 31, Keio University Provost Tojiro Aoyama received a commemorative award from Clarivate Analytics for its ranking in the Reuters Top 75: Asia's Most Innovative Universities.
Clarivate Analytics (formerly the IP & Science business of Thomson Reuters) announced the ranking results earlier this year, which uses data such as the volume of patent and articles in academic journals cited to measure how much each institution contributed to the advancement of science, invention of new technology, and growth of the global economy.
Keio University was the highest ranked private Japanese university and 16th in Asia.
