Objectives at OIST

As a "university rooted in the community and open to the world," OIST aims to contribute to the sustainability of the international community as a whole by exploring concrete solutions through education, research, and collaboration with the community, and by working with the community.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) indicate that a wide range of issues, such as conservation of the natural environment, improvement of people's lives, and the development of economic activities, are closely interrelated. Shimonoseki City University also emphasizes this mutuality and conducts educational, research, and social contribution activities across a variety of fields.

Through the strengthening of research activities and further promotion of international exchange, we aim to become an intellectual base that connects the region and the world by bringing together knowledge across fields and borders. In addition, by further enhancing the quality of education and actively returning research results to the local community, students, faculty and staff, and local residents work together to solve issues. I will continue to foster a place for learning and practice.

Through these initiatives, Shimonoseki City University will fulfill its social responsibilities as a university and proactively contribute to the realization of a sustainable society with a view to the future.
