Building a Resilient and Sustainable Future Society
to Empower "Life" and "Living"
いのちとくらしを守る強靭で持続可能な未来社会を切り拓く
The University of Osaka's Mission
At The University of Osaka, we have been engaging with diverse stakeholders to discuss what our vision for future society should be and to clarify the mission of universities.
This process has generated a common understanding that now is the time for us to boldly address serious social issues, harness new knowledge, talent, and the latest technology, and, through a variety of social reforms, build a resilient and sustainable future society to empower "Life" and "Living."
To realize this vision, it is incumbent upon universities as the highest academic institutions of learning to take leadership, and at The University of Osaka we have renewed our determination to create new value and outstanding human resources to actively take on the challenges of social transformation.
