On November 24, 2017, Daisen Town and Keio Research Institute at SFC, Keio University (hereafter, Keio SFC) will sign a "Memorandum of Understanding on Collaborative Cooperation in Research and Development for Regional Revitalization in Daisen Town."

The memorandum stipulates collaborative cooperation in research and development, utilizing the "Tottori Prefecture Richness of Connections Index" and its findings, which were jointly developed by The Nippon Foundation, Tottori Prefecture, and Keio SFC. This research will focus on practices and local resources aimed at pursuing Daisen Town's inherent "richness of connections" and "self-sufficiency rate of enjoyment."

Based on the memorandum, Daisen Town and the Social Innovation Lab at Keio SFC will jointly examine future strategies for regional revitalization in Daisen Town. In doing so, they plan to utilize the highly participatory Daisen Town municipal television, "Daisen Channel," to consider specific projects and their underlying concepts.

Furthermore, the recruitment of "Regional Revitalization Researchers" and other personnel to engage in related research and development will be considered in the future. Accordingly, a signing ceremony for the memorandum will be held in Daisen Town from 1:30 p.m. on Friday, November 24, with the representative of Daisen Town (Daiki Takeguchi) and the representative of Keio SFC (Masatoshi Tamamura).
