In order to nurture “Explorers of Knowledge,” Osaka University will implement “Open Education” for producing knowledge with the interest of the public by mobilizing all available educational power in university and society in collaboration with industry, government, and civic society.

Osaka University will promote "Open Research" in order to create new knowledge through collaboration with the world beyond OU researchers’ specialized fields with a central focus on academic research driven by their inspiration and out-of-the-box ideas.

Based on the philosophy “Shift from industry-university collaboration to industry-university co-creation,” Osaka University will commit to "Open Innovation" leading to the creation of new knowledge.

Under the motto of “Live Locally, Grow Globally,” Osaka University will make efforts to become an Open Community where diverse knowledge and people gather together with the goal of contributing to solving issues that face local communities and global society and the development of spiritual affluence of society as a hub of scholarship, culture, art, and medical treatment.

Open Governance aims to exceed the expectations of society through continual reform and improvement by maximizing the agency of every member of the university, and implement a solid and transparent university management system that balances leadership and consensus.
