Promoting Communication via O+PUS

Through this system, OU promotes information sharing between students, as well as dissemination of student-created content and internal information from the university.

What is O+PUS -- Osaka University plus Panasonic Universal Sight?

On June 1, 2009, 14 large video monitors donated by Panasonic Corporation were installed at pivotal hubs on Osaka University's campuses. This number has grown to 30 video monitors installed on Osaka University campuses as of October 2022.

In addition to notifications from the university, students-initiated movies, full HD videos, and videos of events that attract students’ interest and motivate them to join are broadcast.

OU will cultivate intelligence and sensitivity in students by improving image literacy education using O+PUS.

A few more words about "O+PUS"

The plus mark between O and P represents the cooperative relationship between Osaka University and Panasonic Corporation for this advanced image-sharing system. OP is associated with OPEN and PUS is associated with P(L)US and these words match the image of this open system.

Since the word "opus" refers to an artistic composition or work, this system will surely encourage OU community members to make creative proposals.
