Adventures in Knowledge
Kashiwa Campus is the newest of the three main campuses of The University of Tokyo in addition to campuses at Hongo andKomaba, and was established with the vision of building a new community with a strong interdisciplinary and international
character that can respond to the dynamic scientific and educational needs of the 21st Century.
Hongo Campus, the core of traditional academic activities at The University of Tokyo since its foundation in 1877, and Komaba
Campus, focusing on undergraduate studies and building interdisciplinary links between established fields of study for over
60 years, have longstanding academic traditions. Kashiwa Campus recently joined this family and aims at a fundamental
reorganization of the structure of traditional academic disciplines, reconsidering the framework of how knowledge is created
and organized. Under the slogan of “Adventures in Knowledge”, Kashiwa Campus has started various new initiatives.
The Graduate School of Frontier Sciences (GSFS) consists of three divisions each with relevant departments: Division ofTransdisciplinary Sciences, Division of Biosciences, and Division of Environmental Studies. GSFS aims to create new frontiersof academic fields. The Institute for Solid State Physics (ISSP) is exploring a wide variety of phenomena exhibited by various
materials from the viewpoint of basic science using state-of-art experimental facilities and techniques. Materials under study
include those forming the basis of today's high-tech society and its future development.
The Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR) is pursuing the origins of the universe and matter through research on cosmic
rays. The Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute (AORI) not only promotes basic research on the ocean and atmosphere, butalso contributes to society through deepening ocean and climate science. The University of Tokyo Institutes for Advanced Study,
Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe（Kavli IPMU）pursues the deep mysteries of the universe throughthe integration of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy. Other departments include the Center for Spatial Information Science,
Kashiwa Branch of Environmental Science Center, the Information Technology Center, the Institute of Gerontology, Institute ofIndustrial Science (IIS), the Kashiwa Library and the University of Tokyo Archives. As the names suggest, these facilities bring
together people from a wide variety of research fields. As an important part of facilitating communication between research
fields, Kashiwa Campus also has a strong international character, promoting international contacts and the exchange of ideas
from around the world. Through the facilities that exist now or will be built in the near future, Kashiwa Campus has excellent
coverage of many of the new fields of science that have growing importance in shaping our lives in the 21st Century. Abandoning
the constraints of traditional ways of organizing science, Kashiwa Campus has quickly responded to the continuously evolving
frontiers of science in an increasingly global and dynamic society by building new interdisciplinary research facilities andseeding new academic fields. These achievements will make the “adventures in knowledge” in Kashiwa possible.

Growth of Kashiwa Campus
In 1998, The University of Tokyo established a new campus about 30 km northeast of Tokyo located in Chiba prefecture,in the northern part of Kashiwa city, adjoining Kashiwanoha Park, and the University has consolidated several academic
and research units since then. As of May 1st, 2021, the total number of faculties, staffs, graduate students, and researchers
at Kashiwa Campus is about 3,300.

products of The University of Tokyo through social experiments
in Kashiwa area. Kashiwanoha Campus Station Satellite is used as
an interchanging facility of academic and private organizations.
■ International Education Support Office Kashiwa Branch(Kashiwa International Office)Kashiwa International Office (KIO) strives to make the transition
to life on Kashiwa Campus as smooth and comfortable aspossible for international students and researchers. In addition
to providing general information about life on and aroundKashiwa campus, KIO provides support for obtaining appropriate
accommodation. KIO also promotes internationalization of thecampus by arranging English classes and sponsoring cultural
exchange events on and around campus.
■ Division for Health Service Promotion（Kashiwa Health Service Center）
The Kashiwa Health Service Center provides health management
services and medical care for the students, faculties, andresearchers at Kashiwa Campus.
■ Kashiwa Library
Kashiwa Library is the main library on Kashiwa Campus,
and provides academic information to students, faculty, andresearchers. It fulfills the function as the back number center ofnatural science journals for all UTokyo campuses. Kashiwa Libraryalso actively cooperates with the community through special
events and other activities.
■ The University of Tokyo Archives
The University of Tokyo Archives maintains records generated by
the university and relating to its history. Through the preservationand the exploitation of our collections, we support to increase
the value of the university and aim to establish a new academic
information infrastructure.
