Community and Regional Collaboration at Osaka Ibaraki Campus

In order to uphold one of our core academic concepts, "Community and Regional Collaboration”, Osaka Ibaraki Campus (OIC) is promoting a variety of activities (education, research, student activities and campus planning) in collaboration with regional and municipal partners. Through these activities, we aim to contribute to regional and social development by establishing relationships of mutual trust, resolving regional and social issues and creating new values.

Three Core Academic Concepts of Osaka Ibaraki Campus

We will act as a gateway that interconnects people and knowledge - linking Asia to the world and the world to Asia - by utilizing the wealth of accumulated experience and knowledge that an advanced nation such as Japan has to offer.
