Okayama University improved its position in the 2021 National Survey on
University Contribution to Local Communities conducted by Nikkei Inc.,
rising from its rank at thirty-one in 2019 to an impressive fourteen
this year. The results were published in Nikkei Global (issue 421) on
October 4. Community contribution was ranked after scoring responses to
questions in the following categories: university organization and
systems; students and residents; industry and government; the university
as a workplace; and SDGS and Covid response.
Our university scored particularly high in the category “SDGs and Covid
response”, earning fourteen out of fifteen points and coming in at
seventh place nationally. Under “Covid response”, Okayama University was
commended for initiatives such as “We aren’t scared of corona! Win-win
student project to support Okayama University students and local
restaurants”, for its on-campus covid vaccination rollout, for
dispatching doctors to prefectural vaccination sites, and for offering
tuition fee exemption to students as part of its financial support
system.
As a research university that together creates and nurtures a bright
future, we will continue to promote our region’s unique characteristics
and strengths.
