The area surrounding Keio University Shonan Fujisawa Campus (SFC) is designated as the "Forest of Health and Culture District," one of the city's core areas in Fujisawa City's Urban Master Plan. Currently, urban infrastructure development is underway in the "Forest of Health and Culture District" with the aim of creating a "Campus Town that Creates the Future" that develops sustainably through industry-academia-government-citizen collaboration, centered on SFC's academic and research functions and its technological clusters in fields such as information, environment, and medicine.

As part of this initiative, this fiscal year we will hold the SFC EXPO Special Project: "Community Development Idea Contest 2024" (Organized by: SFC; Co-organized by: Fujisawa City, the Fujisawa City Forest of Health and Culture District Land Readjustment Association, and Fujita Corporation).

In this contest, we are soliciting ideas from students under the theme of the creation of a park in the "Forest of Health and Culture District." We hope that through this idea contest, the new ties of industry-academia-government-citizen collaboration among students, researchers, companies, local residents, Fujisawa City, and others will be further strengthened, advancing the community development that creates the future.

Applications for this contest are open if the lead proposer is enrolled in an SFC faculty, graduate school, or school (Faculty of Policy Management, Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, Faculty of Nursing and Medical Care, Graduate School of Media and Governance, Graduate School of Health Management, or Keio Shonan Fujisawa Junior and Senior High School).

[Application Deadline]: Friday, October 25

An exhibition of the submitted works and an awards ceremony are scheduled to be held at the SFC EXPO at SFC on Sunday, November 24.

This is a unique opportunity for SFC students to participate in the creation of the "Campus Town that Creates the Future." We encourage you to propose a unique park that brings the future of the campus town to life.
