This web page introduces Science Tokyo's policies and major initiatives.
Future Vision
We have established a vision to guide us towards our goals based on the direction our institution aims to pursue.
Designated National University scheme
Under the Designated National University Corporation (DNU) system, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology designates national university corporations that are expected to develop world-class education and research activities to a considerable degree and, as a result, create innovation and significantly boost the level of education and research at Japanese universities.
Tokyo Institute of Technology was selected as a DNU on March 20, 2018, while Tokyo Medical and Dental University received their DNU designation on October 15, 2020.
- The Designated National University scheme of Institute of Science Tokyo is currently under construction.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion
Science Tokyo respects and values different perspectives and backgrounds. Our community strives to create a fair and impartial environment of shared learning and growth where we harness the power of diversity and work together to build a better future.
Top Global University Project
The Top Global University Project, a funding project launched in FY 2014 by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, aimed to enhance the international competitiveness of higher education in Japan by providing focused support to leading universities that conduct world-class education and research, universities that take on pioneering initiatives, and universities that are committed to comprehensive university reform and internationalization.
After being selected as Type A (top type) universities that conduct world-class education and research, and have the potential to be ranked in the top 100 in world university rankings, Tokyo Medical and Dental University and Tokyo Institute of Technology have implemented a variety of pioneering initiatives.
Although this project concluded in FY 2023 after a 10-year funding period, the newly formed Institute of Science Tokyo continues to implement pioneering initiatives and promote internationalization actively.
Compliance and anti-harassment policy
We introduce our major initiatives to build a fair and safe environment at our institution.
