Keio University
Annual Report on Research Activities
2006–2007
From Collaborations to Innovations:
Research Activities that Create the Future of a Global Society

Keio University

Keio University, which will celebrate the 150th anniversary of its founding in
2008, has produced graduates who have contributed not only to Japanesesociety but to international society as well, based on the ideals of Yukichi
Fukuzawa; namely, that the university should be a "leader of society as awhole." Looking back through the history of the world, even since thefounding of the first universities in Bologna and Paris in the 12th century, themission of universities has been the creation and accumulation ofknowledge. This mission has traditionally involved maintaining a distance fromshort-term social trends and social demands; universities have thus played an
important role in terms of making dramatic leaps into a future that differs
fundamentally from the character of society at any given time.
In our modern era, which is facing unpredictable and complex changes
both domestically and internationally, universities are expected to play agreater role than ever before, as a leader in a wide range of fields
including education, research, medicine, and social contributions, or as acentral core for society as a whole. In terms of research activities, there is anincreasing demand for universities to make direct contributions to society; notonly through traditional academic research, but also through intellectual
property activities, industry-academia-government collaborations, andmedicine. Based on this awareness, at Keio University, we will create avision embodying a dynamic balance (a university with an ellipticalstructure) with a dual focus: on maintaining a distance from short-termsocial trends (independence) on the one hand, and active involvementwith real-world society (collaboration) on the other. We will thus
undertake research activities in a wide range of fields, with the goal of
creating "intellectual value" and opening up new fields in the real world ofindustry.
Communicating the university's research activities and research results to the
public is important policy from a social perspective, in terms of creating auniversity that is open to the world, and a university that opens up new
possibilities for the future. In this 5th "Annual Report on Research
Activities," our goal is to help readers to gain an understanding of thecurrent status of research activities and current trends, while at the sametime providing statistical data and introducing the latest topics, in order tocommunicate a comprehensive picture of research activities at Keio
University.
Keio University has entered an era of new challenges as one of theworld's leading universities. We hope that this Report will give you some ideaof the future potential embodied in the University's research activities.

Keio University Annual Report on Research Activities 2006–2007

Keio University believes that its mission of returning the fruits of research tosociety is equally as important as that of research and education. Based on theprinciple of "Gakujitsu Sendo (leadership for scientific progress), the University
aims to make significant contributions to international society in the 21st
century through original and creative academic research. At five campuses —Mita, Hiyoshi, Yagami, Shinanomachi, and Shonan Fujisawa — Keio
University is currently conducting numerous advanced research projects,
including 12 that have been designated as "21st Century Centers of Excellence(COEs)" designated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science andTechnology (MEXT). Traditionally, Keio University has been deeply involved in
activities by collaborations among industry, government, and academia. Such
research activities, in the form of research commissioned from outside parties,
joint research, and personnel exchanges, are mainly undertaken at fiveresearch facilities: The Keio Leading-edge Laboratory of Science andTechnology (KLL) at the Yagami Campus; the Center for Integrated Medical
Research at the Shinanomachi Campus; the Keio Research Institute at SFC(Shonan Fujisawa Campus), the Shin-Kawasaki Frontier Research andKeio established the Organization for Research Advancement andAdministration (ORAA) in October 2003 to further facilitate the full range of
research activities undertaken at these facilities, by providing support toresearchers, creating and promoting comprehensive, interdisciplinary researchthroughout Keio University, and returning the fruits of this research to society.
Roles and Functions of the ORAAThe ORAA is comprised of various Centers and Committees, including: theCenter for Research Promotion (CRP), the Incubation Center, the Intellectual
Property Center (IPC), Keio Advanced Research Centers (KARC), the Intellectual
Property Mediation Committee, and the Research Ethics Committee. It
supports all aspects of research-related activities, from the start of strategic
research to the transmission of results to society. The major roles andfunctions of each organization in the ORAA are as follows.

Offices of Research Administration
Support research activities at all campuses

Intellectual Property Center (IPC)
The Technology Licensing Organization (TLO) for Keio University

The Offices of Research Administration, which support research while maintaining
close contact with individual researchers, are located at the five campuses in Mita,
Hiyoshi, Yagami, Shinanomachi, and Shonan Fujisawa. In addition to functioning as
the contact point on each campus for outside organizations, these Offices provide
support for research in collaboration with the Organization for Research
Advancement and Administration (ORAA).
Specifically, the Offices provide information to researchers in areas such as
research resources, research environments, and opportunities for researchsubsidies from inside and outside Keio University (public calls for subsidy
applications), and also offers a variety of other support services including
negotiations and completion of contracts for joint or commissioned research,
management of research expenses and research spaces, and compilation andpresentation of research results.

As Keio University’s Technology Licensing Organization (TLO), the Intellectual
Property Center has a wide a range of responsibilities, including management andoperation of intellectual property generated by the University to promoting
collaborations with society based on that intellectual property. Based on
applications for inventions submitted by researchers, the IPC closely examines
patentability and the potential for licensing, taking into consideration the
researchers’ concepts of practical applications. It then makes selections, files patentapplications, and maintains and controls those successful patents. These technology
licensing operations open the door to a wide range of other activities, including
licensing of Keio University’s patented technologies to companies, the creation of
new companies with foundations in intellectual property rights, and joint researchwith companies aimed at developing products for practical applications.

Intellectual Property Mediation Committee
When an inventor lodges an objection regarding a given patent application, theIntellectual Property Mediation Committee acts as a mediator based on the Keio
University Regulations for the Handling of Inventions.

The Research Ethics Committee
coordinates and manages policies
and regulations related to issues
such as research ethics andconflicts of interest. Its main goal
is to create structures that arecapable of promoting fairness andsafety in research activities in
response to demands from society,particularly with regard tocompliance problems in relation torecent university research
activities, and the conflicts ofinterest that can arise in activities
involving collaborations amongindustry, government, andacademia.

Keio Advanced
Research Centers (KARC)
Supports the creation of advanced,
interdisciplinary research
In recent years, Keio University has
felt an increasing need to create a
new research model based oncooperation between diverse fields. To
promote a interdisciplinary approach toresearch collaboration, the Keio Advanced
Research Centers (KARC) was established on
February 1, 2007. KARC has an active and flexible
modus operandi towards the establishment, revision, andmanagement of research centers. The aim is to stimulate
research activities in diverse fields while improving
efficiency and speed.

Center for Research Promotion (CRP)
The general contact point for collaborations among industry, government, and academia
The Center for Research Promotion (CRP) promotes interdisciplinary research activities as a generalproducer of industry-government-academia collaboration. In particular, the CRP 1) proposes joint research
projects that match university resources with industry needs, 2) supports the application process to acquire
public research funds for joint projects between industry and academia and helps coordinate the launch of
projects, 3) encourages interdisciplinary collaboration, including joint research with industry, and manages
internal research fund programs that aim to acquire external funding, and 4) communicates researchachievements through symposiums and promotes personnel exchanges.
These activities are developed in coordination with an advisory board composed of board members, one
from each campus.

activities have attracted both domestic andinternational attention. The Institute is organized
into project units. In FY2006, five projects were Scene from TCP2007
organized: the public research project “Writings of Intellectuals and Civilian Culture in Asia”(Principal Investigator (PI) : Eiji Yamamoto), “Concept of ‘the Individual’ in Western Ideas” (PI:Sumio Nakagawa), “Cognitive Science Group” (PI: Yukio Otsu), “Southeast Asian Languages
Research Group” (PI: Naomitsu Mikami), and “Reception and Transformation of Philosophical
Tradition in Middle Eastern Monotheistic Intellectual Culture” (PI: Shin Nomoto). In addition, ten
individual research projects were established. Research achievements of the Institute are published inits bulletins and monographs. Members of the Institute are also primary participants in Keio
University’s 21st Century COE Program (Humanities) “Toward an Integrated Methodology for the
Study of the Mind” and the Global COE Program “Centre for Advanced Research on Logic andSensibility.”

The Institute for Media and Communications
Research is participating in the 21st Century COE
Program “Designing toward the Ordering of PoliticalSociety in a Multi-cultural and Pluri-generational
World.” For this, it forged an intimate partnershipwith the 21st Century COE-CCC for its research
activities. In 2006, financed by its own researchfunds, special donations, and promotional funds,
the Institute carried out five research projects. For
each project, a research group was convened, and its
Portion of research results
achievements were published in the bulletin KeioMedia and Communications Research and Keio Communication Review, as well as in authoredpublications. Members of the Institute hosted the 21COE-CCC International Symposium held on the Mita
campus from November 25 to 26, and also participated in its discussions. The bulletins of theInstitute are not only published physically, they are also offered in digital format on the Institute’s home
page.

The Institute offers an abundance of activities for the general public. It invites prominent domestic andforeign Iinguistic theorists for its language colloquia, which are held four times a year. In 2006,
public lectures based on the theme “Japanese Life and Identity” were held. The Institute is gaining
attention from both academic and general audiences.
The Tokyo Conference on Psycholinguistics, held annually, is a high-level international conference. It
steadily offers research achievements, and its proceedings are published in English. On the
educational front, the Institute offers special lectures not organized by academic departments,
including lectures on Asian and ancient Middle Eastern languages. In 2006, the institute offers 23
lectures on 11 languages.

Keio Economic Observatory

Teacher Training Center

The Keio Economic Observatory (KEO) was established in 1959 on the occasion of the 100th
anniversary of the founding of Keio University. Its purpose since its inception has been to conduct
theoretical and empirical research on the economy and industries in the context of Japan’s existing
economic conditions.

TThe Teacher Training Center acts as a Keio University-wide magnet for attracting educational andscholarly activities in all areas of school education. The Center provides a teacher-training course forcollege students who intend to be high school teachers, and has produced many outstanding
teachers since its founding in December 1982. It is not only a "teacher's college," but is also a
research institute for teacher education in Keio University. Accordingly several research projects
concerning educational issues are carried out by the Center.

The KEO consists of research sections; economics, law, and behavioral science. Full-time staff andresearch members from faculties convene on a project-basis to perform research.
In recent years, the Observatory has carried out distinctively international research based on a
uniform framework that span the construction of databases to the development of analysis methods andsimulation of policy. In FY2006 especially, for the construction of an international dataset on
economy, energy and environment, the KEO expanded its capabilities using the accumulation of thedataset as its focus, and performed analysis through academic exchanges with various institutions suchas OECD and the National Bureau of Statistics of China. Its findings were transmitted to the world.
Research results have been published and disseminated in volumes such as the Library of Keio
University Sangyo Kenkyujo, KEO Monograph Series and Keio Discussion Papers. The KEO also
holds regular seminars which are becoming places to report findings and exchange viewpoints
among researchers.

The main research theme at the Center since 2004 has been the assessment of the suitability ofstudent teachers for the teaching profession. The Center has also developed an advanced curriculum forteacher-training courses since FY2005. Based on these two research efforts, the Center's project"Logbook for the Ideal Teacher," which seeks to develop a multi-assessment system of aptitude for theteaching profession, has been selected for the "Nurturing of Outstanding Teachers Program"(FY2006-2007) by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) since FY
2006. This project has been undergoing its field test phase since the end of FY2006. With thecooperation both within and without the University, in FY2006 the Center offered a continual lecture
series "Conversations with Society and Third-Parties" and a training forum for nurturing teachers.
From FY2006, it also started implementing an achievement test in social science for prospective

Shido Bunko, Institute of Oriental Classics

Fukuzawa Memorial Center for Modern Japanese Studies

Shido Bunko, or the Institute of Oriental Classics, is affiliated with Keio University. In addition to thedirector, the Institute has six academic members and three temporary researchers. The staff of theinstitute investigates Japanese and Chinese classical works stored in Japan and abroad, collectthem by means of microfilming and digitizing, and inspect them using standard bibliographicalmethods. Shido Bunko maintains a special library that contains 140 thousand volumes of books and six
thousand reels of microfilm; it is open to the public. In addition to these activities, for graduate
students the staff provides three “Shido Bunko Courses” each Spring and Fall semester. The course
instructors use lectures and exercises from which students may master bibliographical methods by using
real classical materials.

The Center has three major roles in the activities of the University. The first role is to serve as a
University archive that collects, organizes, and stores the historical documents of Keio University andof its founder, Yukichi Fukuzawa. The second role is to provide a research institute in whichscholars may study a comprehensive selection of modern Japanese history related to Fukuzawa and Keio
University. The third role is as an educational organization that returns the fruits of these scholarly
activities not only to the students but also to the public through its courses, lectures, and seminars.

In 2006, using research grants from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science andTechnology (MEXT), members of Shido Bunko visited the People’s Republic of China, the Republic ofChina and the United States of America to study archives of ancient text. One member also worked asa lecturer in Columbia University (U.S.)’s summer course. On November 2, Shido Bunko held its
annual open lecture, entitled “Conservation and Repair of Ancient Texts.” This talk featured Mr.
Yuji Takahashi, curator of historical documents at Tokyo National Museum.
Bulletin of the Shido Bunko Institute No.41 was issued in February 2007, and A Catalog ofannotated books for Kokin-shu was published by Bensei Publishing in February 2006.
http://www.sido.keio.ac.jp/

Since 2005, the Center has provided special courses at the Mita campus. In 2006, the courses were
“Modern Japanese Studies”: “The Encouragement of Learning” and Its Era, the origins of To Be
Independent and Self-sufficient, seminars on Fukuzawa text “Popular Discourse on People’s
Rights” and “Popular Discourse on National Rights”, seminars on Fukuzawa’s letters, and twocourses on “Fukuzawa and the idea of womanhood in the Meiji Era.” The University has approved thesecourses; as such, students will receive credits towards their graduation for enrolling in the Center’scourses.
As part of its research activities, since its founding the Center has continued to uncover and collectmaterial kept privately by families related to students of Yukichi Fukuzawa. Also in recent years, to bring
its research into public view, the Center has held lecture series and seminars on unified themes suchas entrepreneurs in the early-modern era and Yukichi Fukuzawa, and law in the Meiji era and
Yukichi Fukuzawa. These lectures and seminars invited researchers from abroad, and has
contributed to the influence of Keio University and Yukichi Fukuzawa to world intellectual history of theearly-modern period.
The Center’s staff is continuing editing the 21-volume collection of historical data of Keio
University, as part of the Center’s preparations to commemorate in 2008 the 150th anniversary of thefounding of the University. The investigation, organization, and analysis of material both within andoutside the University have produced a collective effort in this endeavor. For its publications, the Center
issued Bulletin of Modern Japanese Studies No. 23 (2006) and Newsletter of Fukuzawa Memorial
Center for Modern Japanese Studies, Keio University (published twice a year).

The Keio Research Center for the Liberal Arts
Hiyoshi Research Portfolio 2006

The Keio Research Center for the Liberal Arts
was founded in July 2002 to search for theideal form and contents of the "liberal arts" topass down to following generations. Thus far, it
has conducted various full-fledged research andanalyses, suggested new systems and curricula
based on proposals brought about by the
research, and examined the educational
efficacy of those proposals throughexperimental classes and induction courses.

Hiyoshi Research Portfolio (HRP) 2006, whose mission was to create a meeting ground forconnecting the University and society so as to exchange and produce new values and new"scientia," was held at the Hiyoshi campus on December 15, 16, and 18, 2006. Besides
poster sessions by research groups and individual researchers, four symposia were held in which
many participants took part. The HRP, held for the second time, simultaneously presented
information such as posters on the Web.

There are three research programs conductedby the Center: the "Core Research Program," Faculty Development Seminar"Specialized Research Program," and "Individual
Research Program." The "Core Research Program" has run two research projects starting in theacademic year 2005. One is "Research on the Curricula of Keio University" which investigated the actual
situation of cross-departmental courses at Keio University. Another project, "Body and Mind," has tried
to establish a new "scientia" concerning a holistic approach to students' personal development.
The project aims to theorize the new "scientia" through experimental classes. "Specialized
Research Program," or "Multi-lateral Research on Meta-Representative Culture," as a part of the
Academic Frontier Promotion Projects under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science andTechnology, started its second phase in 2005. Its goal is to make model contents and campus
environments for higher education and to make available the results in various media.
The Center also actively exchanges opinions and works with other academic institutions in Japan andabroad.

Graduate School of Business Administration

http://www.hc.keio.ac.jp/lib-arts/en
The Graduate School of Business Administration hosts several research projects. Two
examples are presented here. First, as part of Keio University's 2006 advancement ofgraduate research plan, the school carried out joint research for its "Holistic Analysis ofStrategic Decision-Making" project (continued from the previous year), in which six
members of the School participated. This research, spanning two years, investigatesdecision-making methods from aspects such as business management and humanorganization. The School also worked on its "Keio-style case method" for MEXT's"Distinctive Graduate Education Assistance Program." This project has two hopes. One, theSchool hopes to develop the Harvard case method to be a style more suited to Japan's
economic and business climate, and thus develop revolutionary leadership in Japanesebusiness and non-profit sectors. Another hope is to contribute to the advancement ofpractical graduate education that transcends the business school setting.

Keio University Annual Report on Research Activities 2006–2007

Faculty/Graduate School of Science and Technology
The Faculty and Graduate School of Science and Technology is located at the Yagami Campus, where
research and education centered on scientific and technological fields are conducted. In accordance withthe principle of pursuing "emerging" themes, work on the campus will continue to be more open andmultifaceted, in the form of joint studies into various issues in as-yet-unknown interdisciplinary areas that
go beyond conventional fields of specialization. Our mission is to foster human resources; to haveresearchers not only study the leading edge, but also open it up for themselves and become leaders ofsociety. http://www.st.keio.ac.jp/

Keio Leading-edge Laboratory of Science and Technology (KLL)The Keio Leading-edge Laboratory of Science and Technology (KLL), a stage for industry-governmentacademia collaboration, was established at the Graduate School of Science and Technology in 2000 asa center for leading academic research and new business creation in science and technology. Its goal isto return research achievements to society, to conduct research activities that transcend areas of
specialization, and to provide networking forums with the industrial world. The KLL has promoted andadvanced research projects which are based on the originality of Keio University and take advantage of
its strength as a comprehensive university. http://www.kll.keio.ac.jp/
Here is an introduction to the activities of the KLL.

Activities of the KLL
Coordination for Research Work
The KLL acts as a point of contact between Keio University and groups
outside of Keio University such as industrial circles, promoting
cooperation for research work in the pre-patent, or germination, stage. It
promotes the research activities of the Yagami Campus from various
perspectives (see http://www.kll.keio.ac.jp/), flexibly responds toindividual consultations, and establishes an interactive flow between
enterprises and university research activities. By utilizing these
dynamics, the KLL coordinates optimal joint and commissioned
research projects, both domestic and international.

Promotion of Research Activities
With the objective of focusing on the development of "germinating"research areas that are expected to be important to society in the
future, the KLL calls for research projects (page10, "KLL Specified
Research Projects"), and advances research aggressively andsystematically in terms of both finances and research environment. In
order to more vigorously advance general research projects that havebeen established, "KLL Research Space" is loaned on a fee-paid basis.
There is usable space in the Sousoukan of the Yagami Campus (a total of
2,519m2 available; see page 34), as well as on the Shin-Kawasaki Town
Campus. Furthermore, researchers from corporations and elsewhereoutside of the University who participate in research are granted thestatus of "Researcher of KLL." They are able to perform research
activities smoothly at Keio by, for example, utilizing the Information andMedia Center for Science and Technology (library).

Fostering Young Researchers
In order to foster outstanding researchers in science and technology, theKLL offers research aid in the form of Research Grants for Doctoral
Programs, which assists research activities performed by doctoral
students. In FY2006, the KLL extended grants of ¥300,000 each to
114students, thereby financially assisting the start of research
activities by the students as bona fide researchers.
(In 2007, KLL will offer a Research Grant for Master’s Programs. This
program will subsidize a portion of travel expenses for students who
present papers at international academic conferences.)

Returning of Research Achievements to Society
Every December, the KLL holds the Keio Techno-Mall, an exhibition
aimed at corporate managers. The exhibition introduces researchachievements and explores ways to generate new businesses. In 2006,
there were 57 booths and 12 panels introducing researchachievements and over 1,200 attendees. (The Keio Techno-Mall 2007 isscheduled for 5 December 2007 at the Tokyo International Forum in
Yurakucho.) In cooperation with the Intellectual Property Center, theKLL supports the patenting and commercialization of researchachievements and fulfills the cycle of intellectual creation by returning theachievements to society.

Promoting Research Collaboration and Transmission to Society:
Activities at the Center for Research Promotion
In order to most effectively utilize the broad-ranging research capabilities of Keio University, the Center for Research Promotion has established a
Research Grants Program to promote "Differing Fields Collaboration" within the University, and holds open symposiums to inform society of industryacademia collaboration activities. The Research Grants Program promotes the formation of joint research projects that transcend the boundaries ofexisting organizations or disciplines. Meanwhile, the open symposiums are important events because they provide an opportunity for generalparticipants to learn about research at Keio University, and also act as a means of promoting broader interactions among individuals fromuniversities and the industrial world.

Keio University Annual Report on Research Activities 2006–2007

1 The Center for Research Promotion's Grant Programs for Researchers
Goal of the Programs
The goal of these programs is to fully utilize thepotential of Keio University as a general university toopen up possibilities for the creation of new academic
fields by combining advanced research in multiple anddiverse fields, and at the same time to conduct
research that meets the needs of the world at large,
thereby supporting an expansion in opportunities tosecure research funding from outside.
Recently, universities have been facing demands todramatically expand and strengthen their research
activities. In addition to fortifying fundamental
research activities, a major mission of universities is to
respond to global environmental issues and thedropping birthrate and aging population in Japan, and tomeet the needs of the real world, such as ensuring asafer, more secure society.
The Center for Research Promotion initiated research
grants for researchers within Keio University in 2005,
with the goal of developing joint research projects that
respond to the social needs, and of promoting researchcollaborations among differing fields that will act as aprimer for such development. Specifically, it aims tofurther strengthen the research capabilities of Keio
University by providing research grants for researchthat is expected to receive research capital fromoutside parties.

Outline of the Programs
In the 2006 Research Grant Program, we put out a call for
research themes in two divisions: "Young and New
Researchers" and "Differing Fields Collaboration."
Grant for New and Young Researchers[Program Requirements]-The research must be creative and offer possibilities
for the future.
-The research must be expected to be eligible to apply forcompetitive research funding (Grants-in-Aid for
Scientific Research, etc.) related to the research in thefollowing year.
[Application requirements]-On April 1, 2006, the applicant must have been 40
years of age or younger, or have been with Keio
University for five years or less, and must be a full-time
researcher, a non-tenured contract researcher, or a
special researcher (if qualified to apply for externalfunding).
[Amount of Grants]-The maximum shall be one million yen per grant.
Differing Fields Collaboration Grant[Program Requirements]-Two or more researchers must be participating fromdifferent specialized fields-Project must be comprehensive, taking advantage ofcollaborations between different fields, and must be
creative and offer possibilities for the future (e.g., "drugcreation," "safety/security," etc.)-The research must be expected to be eligible to apply forcompetitive research funding (Grants-in-Aid for
Scientific Research, etc.) related to the research in thefollowing year.
[Application requirements]-The applicant must be a full-time researcher, a nontenured contract researcher, or a special researcher (ifqualified to apply for external funding).
[Amount of Grants]-The maximum shall be five million yen per grant.
The researchers selected to receive grants through thisProgram are required to conduct the research during
the year in which the grant is provided, and to present theresults of that research at a research seminar held in
the following year. During that presentation, they are
required to outline the status of acquisition of external
research funding.
During the 2006 fiscal year, there were 57 applications, ofwhich nine were selected for the Grant for New andYoung Researchers and four for the Differing Fields
Collaboration Grant. Details of selected research
themes are shown in the table below.

2 Transmission of Research Activities to Society
The Center for Research Promotion conducts public
symposiums twice each year at the Mita Campus aspart of activities aimed at showing a broader segment ofsociety the day-to-day research activities undertaken at
the University in a multi-faceted, three-dimensional
format. "Collaboration" is a key word for a uniquefeature of the symposiums held at the Center for
Research Promotion. The Center is planning programs
that will provide opportunities for meetings between"fields," or meetings between the "University" and"Society," based on themes presented in the
symposiums. Symposium activities would include, forexample, approaches to common issues in medicine

and engineering from separate research fields,
discussions between University researchers and invited
guests from industries closely related to the themes inquestion, or exhibits displaying the results of joint
research conducted by companies and the University.
The symposium held in February 2007, entitled "Aiming for
rapid medical applications of basic research in life
sciences," was based on the theme of "Translational
Research"; that is, where the results of fundamental
research are quickly applied to the front lines of
medicine, and where knowledge obtained from clinicalcases is in turn applied to fundamental research. There

were lectures and panel discussions on what should bedone by government, companies, and universities toestablish the roots of translational research in Japan,
and the participants shared a new awarenessregarding the urgency of fostering researchers with abroad knowledge base and perspective with respect tofront-line clinical work, medicine, and engineering. The
symposium welcomed about 220 participants, ranging
from specialists representing companies anduniversities to high school students and other members of
the general public, all of them could be seen listening
intently and taking detailed notes.

10 years of Leadership in Research and Development on Internet & Applications to Higher
Education in Asia AI3 Project and SOI Asia Project Symposium
11 October 2006
ITB, Bandung, Indonesia
Prof. Jun Murai, Professor of Faculty of Environmental Information at Keio University has been leading Widely
Integrated Distributed Environment (WIDE) Project to contribute to the development of the Internet
infrastructure and the higher education in Asia by starting the two leading projects, namely, AsianInternet Interconnection Initiatives (AI3) Project, and School on the Internet Asia (SOI Asia) Project. AI3 project
aims to research and develop the Internet technologies and SOI Asia Project develops distant learning
applications for the advanced usage of the Internet as a tool of higher education. SOI Asia constructeddistance learning systems utilizing AI3's internet infrastructure which delivered live Internet lectures to partner
institutions. In total, 24 universities and research institutions in 13 Asian countries have joined the AI3 andSOI Asia projects as of October 2006. This initiative has successfully resulted in developing humanresources in the IT technology field in the Asian partner countries.
AI3 and SOI Asia have constructed a network with large dimensions and diversities of 24 partner
institutions in 13 Asian countries including Myanmar and Laos. 10 years of development and deployment ofInternet infrastructure in Asia by the projects can well be described as the history of the Asian IT
infrastructure development, looking back to the start of the project when Internet itself was yet very
undeveloped in the region. As a result of a successful human resource development and network ofpeople in IT in Asia, engineers and staff of both projects now play the key roles of IT development in theircountries. SOI Asia was among the first to support Syiah Kuala University which suffered a devastating
damage of losing more than 100 faculty members by The earthquake off the west coast of Northern
Sumatra and the giant Tsunami in the Indian Ocean on Dec.26, 2004. Syiah Kuala University's function
recovery was strongly supported by the distance learning system of SOI Asia.

The 21st Century COE Program / Global COE Program
In the 21st Century COE (Center of Excellence)program, one of Japan's most notable competitive
research grants, five research centers from Keio
University were selected in 2002 and seven centerswere selected in 2003, and all of these centers havecontinued to demonstrate outstanding results.

One of the unique features of COEs at Keio University is

Please refer to the following pages for details on
activities being undertaken at these COEs.
Incidentally, COEs selected in 2002 have completed
their five-year programs, and have entered a newphase of activities; namely, the start of the Global COE
Program mentioned above. "Global COEs" arepositioned as continuations of the 21st Century COE
Program, and in 2007, three centers were selected as
Global COEs at Keio University.
Each of these programs proposes further
developments of the research and Education centers
built through the 21st Century COE Program. In thescreening process, the centers were highly valued
based on their record of activities in the 21st Century
COE Program, research plans over the next five years
based on those activities, and world-class researcher
training plans with a focus on Doctoral Programs.
The three Centers selected as Global COEs have been
established as key research facilities within the Keio
Advanced Research Centers (KARC). KARC wasestablished within the Organization for Research
Advancement and Administration (ORAA) under theleadership of the President of Keio University in
February 2007, and is a crosscutting organization thatis not limited by the boundaries of Faculties andDepartments, even in terms of personnel.
These Centers within KARC are expected tocollaborate with the existing Graduate Schools, while
growing as world-class research institutes and venues
for promoting the development of outstanding
researchers.

Centre for Advanced Research on Logic and Sensibility
Shigeru Watanabe; Professor, Graduate School of Human Relations

Kouhei Ohnishi; Professor, Graduate School of Science andTechnology
The goal of the Center is to promote “Global COE for Human
Metabolomic Systems Biology,” which aims to reveal regulatory
mechanisms of metabolism in human physiology and pathology
through systems biological technology such as high-throughput
metabolome and computer-assisted biosimulation, and to form aworld-class interdisciplinary research and education center tofoster young researchers who will create new life science research thatcombines different fields including medical science, computerassisted engineering, information sciences, and pharmaceuticals.

There is a growing demand for new digital technologies that canaccommodate individual differences in users, as opposed totechnologies for use by the masses. By creating an access spacethat connects individuals with other individuals, society, and theenvironment, and controlling that access space, it will be possible tooffer services and security that meets these demands. The goal of thisProgram is to establish these types of science and technology
platforms through high-level international collaboration Centers on a
global scale.

This Center has been formed within the Center for Integrated
Medical Research, and uses super immunodeficiency mice in whichorganized cell populations originating from humans are recreated invivo to promote in vivo Metabolism System Biology studies undercancer tumor or parasitic infection conditions. It also actively
promotes research and education activities, and collaborates with the
Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, Boston University, etc. to achievesynergistic effects taking advantage of the strengths of each
institution in each respective field.

While utilizing collaborations with Harvard University, Xi’an
Jiaotong University, and the Ecole Centrale de Lyon-Lyon
Nanotechnology Inst., which have already been cultivated through the
21st Century COE Program, this Center will promote research withadvanced synergistic effects in four fields – “Basic engineering
physics for innovative photonic/electronic device creation,”“Environment-embedded device technology,” “Real-world and real-time
network for multi-dimensional processing and communication,” and“Perception and expression technology,” – in order to provide
advanced human support in access spaces.

As part of activities aimed at fostering young researchers, theCenter encourages students to experience trips and short-term
study periods at collaborating universities overseas, and conducts
research activities in multiple departments, so that they who haveachieved an exceptionally high level can be granted double
degrees. The Center also plans to initiate a Research Incubation
Program in the Faculty of Science and Technology and the Graduate
School of Media and Governance for young researchers at the PostDoctorate level to provide a venue for establishing career paths.
This Center will actively invite instructors and young researchers
from collaborating Centers overseas to promote theinternationalization of Graduate School education at Keio
University.

Particularly in terms of fostering young researchers, the Center has
expanded its international internship program and established amultiple instructor system and a double-degree system so thatstudents can acquire adaptability and a broad range of problemsolving skills in addition to their original areas of specialty. As aresult, career paths for young researchers with degrees are rooted
firmly in an approach of "Producing world-leading researchers andCTOs with leadership qualities that enable them to utilize advanced
research and development capabilities and knowledge to play
important roles in global society."

Recent developments in cognitive sciences and neurosciences areshowing that logic and sensibility in human judement work as asingle unified system, rather than as separate processes. This isreferred to as the "convergence of logic and sensibility."
The goal of this Program is to gain an integrated understanding of theconvergence of logic and sensibility, from the most fundamental
biological level to the level of culture. Through participation in thisProgram, we will grow researchers in humanities who have learned
experimental scientific methods, and experimental researchers withknowledge of the humanities. The researchers grown up in thisProgram should have deep knowledge, a broad perspective, andadvanced skills at world class level and are expected to contributeprogress of science internationally.
We have established five "Education and Research Programs,"
which will conduct joint education and research with overseas
institutes based on contracts of collaboration with Keio. Graduate
students will complete the "Education and Research Programs" as a
Graduate School course, and will learn approach to research incombined fields through practical research activities.
Overseas collaborations will also be actively undertaken,
encompassing not only joint research with Cambridge University,
the University of Vienna, Bielefeld University, Ecole Supérieur
d'Electricité (Supelec), and École polytechnique, but alsocollaborating with Keio University in the education of young
researchers to foster researchers who can take part in international
activities.

The 21st Century COE Program

For example, the number of doctoral degrees granted
increased dramatically from an average of about 190
per year from 1998 to 2001, before the start of the 21stCentury COE program, to about 260 per year in 2002 to
2005, after the start of the program. Each of the COEs has
hired numerous young researchers, including research
assistants (RAs) and post doctorates, and has trained
employees to undertake advanced research. They arealso actively involved in developing young researchers byencouraging them to accumulate experience throughthe submission of papers, and by having them givepresentations on research and participating in debates atacademic conferences, symposiums, and other venues inJapan and overseas.

that they promote close collaboration in education andresearch with outstanding universities and research
institutes not only in Japan but overseas. This isdemonstrated by the fact that several overseas
universities and research institutes recognized as
being among the best in the world have been
positioned as centers for collaboration by global COEs
selected in 2007.

Keio University Annual Report on Research Activities 2006–2007

Because 2006 is the last year of this program, based on the results achieved up to now
in five projects, extensive research has been conducted in combined fields cutting
across all these projects, in order to develop an integrated methodology. As a result,results have been demonstrated in joint research between projects. Examples of this joint
research includes research on mech-anisms in the brain for making aesthetic
judgments ("Evolution/development" and "Representation" Projects), research onmechanisms in the brain for making logical judgments ("Evolution/development" and"Logic/Language" Projects), and research related to genetic factors in logicaljudgments. Six international research gatherings have also been held to bring
together past research achievements, including international symposiums on
language, the mind, and the brain. The international symposium held in August 2006,
entitled "Integration of Comparative Neuroanatomy and Comparative Cognition,"included presen-tations by eight researchers active on the front lines of comparative
anatomy and comparative psychology (six from overseas and two from Japan), along withpresentations by six young researchers and eight poster presentations by graduate
students. The goal of this symposium was to integrate comparative cognitive research andcomparative neuroanatomy. A summary of the results have been published in"Integration of Comparative Neuroanatomy and Cognition" (CIRM / Keio University
Press). This text also contains the world's first mapping of a crow's brain, which was
created through the program. This brain map was published on the Internet, and hadreceived 6,400 hits at the time of this writing. Among the other events were threemulti-field international round table discussions including a discussion meeting on
neuro-aesthetics with Prof. Zeki and a discussion meeting on self-cognition with Prof.
Keenan; seven lectures including a lecture on concepts and images in the middle ages by
Prof. Saunders; ten seminars and workshops including a seminar on logic by Prof.
Melli_s; and three exhibitions.

research interactions (e.g., publication of joint papers or hosting of joint symposiums) wereselected, and collaborations involving these institutions were actively undertaken. As aresult of these activities, it was possible to complete interaction contracts regarding
education and research with Cambridge University, the University of Vienna, theUniversity of Paris, Ecole Sup_rieur d'Electricit_ (Supelec), and Bielefeld University.

Research on a Theory of Market Quality
As explained in the texts "System Reform in the Age of
Quality" (Iwanami Shoten; 2006) and "Law and Economics"(2007) by Makoto Yano, the term "Market Quality," which iscentral to the theory of this COE research, refers toappropriately designed laws and systems supporting
markets, and the creation of environments in which those
Remote seminar with the Kyoto University
markets can function. As part of efforts to form new Institute of Economic Research COE
strategies and international research centers based on thistheme, the International Journal of Economic Theory (Blackwell) was published to inform the world
at large about this research. To further promote the growth and development of new
researchers, a teleconferencing system was put in place in May 2007, with joint seminars
being held for researchers in this program as well as Kyoto University Institute of Economic
Research COE Program researchers and graduate students from both universities.

Analysis of Keio Household Panel Data
An empirical analysis of market quality focuses on the roles of laws and policy administration
which must be implemented to create high quality markets. This requires well-designed
longitudinal data, with appropriate set of questions in line with our research theme, whichsurveys the same individuals, households and companies, repeatedly overtime. The KeioHousehold Panel Survey (KHPS) is the first comprehensive panel survey covering a wide range of
topics such as income and savings, employment, attitudes towards jobs, and working hours. A totalof 4,000 households, 7,000 male and female respondents are repeatedly surveyed so far. The main
research findings using the KHPS are published in the Program’s research findings report, “The
Dynamism of Japanese Household Behavior” each year [Higuchi et al. (2005, 2006, 2007)]. The
report presents detailed analyses of the influence of changes in legal and taxation systems on
household employment, savings behavior, family structure, and market quality. These researchfindings have influenced Japanese government policies towards, for example, fertility decline,
amendments to the Equal Employment Act, and the growing presence of part-time workers.
One of the purposes of the KHPS is to contribute the overall improvement of research activities in
the field of social sciences. Accordingly, the micro data of the first survey will be released in August
2007. The data will also be given to the Luxembourg Income Study, an international research
institute that collects household panel surveys in various countries and provides them to theresearchers all around the world, so the KHPS can be used by foreign researchers.
Furthermore, based on research activities in this Program, Keio University has been officiallyaccepted as a member of the Global Network on Inequality, hosted by Princeton University, andthe conferences and research projects will be conducted jointly by Keio and Princeton. In line withthese activities, a formal agreement is expected to be completed in the near future regarding an
exchange program between Princeton University and Keio University for instructors andgraduate students.
Research based on International Collaborations with Institutions in Asia and Europe
In Asia, a large segment of capital was moving in the form of bond investments in Europe and the
U.S., and this capital came back to Asia in the form of hedge funds, creating one of the factors that
led to the Asian currency crisis. In order to encourage substantial savings in the Asian region, it
is essential to increase the "quality of financial markets" in Asia. Elements that are required include
diversification of financial products, establishment and maintenance of financial markets,
laws, and systems, and exchanges of information. The construction of Asian bond markets andexchanges of information via the Internet are being promoted, and as a part of efforts todevelop the bond market, trust information institutions have been established to contribute to theconstruction of bond markets for the maintenance of these infrastructures (revenue bonds) and theestablishment of investment loan markets for small and medium-sized companies. All of these
activities have been linked to the formation of actual government policies.
Research at this COE incorporates joint research with the United Nations, the Japan Bank forInternational Cooperation, the ASEAN Secretariat, the Asian Development Bank, Tsinghua
University, Bruegel, G_teborg University, and Columbia University. The Center has also formed a
network with Asia, Europe, and the U.S., and publishes the Asian Economic Papers (MITPress).

Program Leader: Professor Jiro Kokuryo, Graduate School of Media and Governancehttp://www.coe21-policy.sfc.keio.ac.jp/en
This 21st Century COE Program has been pressing ahead with its current initiative of
establishing a center for sougou seisakugaku, or integrated policy management,
through the study of human security. In 2006, based on the positioning of integrated policy
management as "studies in practical knowledge," this Center accumulated further"practical knowledge" based on specific themes, deepened its perspectives on thisfield, and endeavored to proliferate and pass on this knowledge both in Japan andoverseas.
The approach of sougou seisakugaku is a cyclical one, in which research activities are
conducted targeting the discovery and resolution of problems in specific fields, and themodels are created to extract universal and generalized knowledge from that
research. These models are then further refined through proliferation and transfer to otherfields. The "venue" for collaborations therefore plays an extremely important role insougou seisakugaku. Since the start of its activities, this COE has emphasizedcollaborations with research satellites (RS) not only in Japan (Yokoyama, Fujisawa,
Yamagata, Nagano, Kita-Kyushu, Saga, Toyama, etc.), but also in Vietnam, Thailand,
China, and other countries. This year, based on an awareness that "ResearchSatellites should not be limited to a single research theme, but should be equipped with
continuity and scalability," these RSs were narrowed down, and research activities
are currently being promoted at 27 carefully selected RSs. The specific research
results derived from these activities have been the subject of ambitious informationtransmission activities during 2006, including 23 working papers, 53 papers published injournals (including 14 papers in refereed journals and articles in non-academic
periodicals), and four jointly authored texts. On January 27, 2007, specialists in the fieldof sougou seisakugaku were invited from across Japan to participate in a symposium
entitled "Best Practices in Policy Management Studies," where research results were
presented by seven young researchers. The discussions conducted at this symposium arealso reflected in the policies for sougou seisakugaku doctoral papers and in theselection standards used by the Sougou Seisakugaku Journal ("Keio SFC Journal;
Special Issue on Policy Management"). The first edition of the Sougou Seisakugaku
Journal is scheduled for publication in the fall of 2007.
Doctoral students employed as COE research assistants (RAs) have been extremely
active in terms of promoting "Studies in practical knowledge" in relation to humansecurity. We are aware that that fostering young researchers is a key mission of the COE,

and in that regard, five doctoral students active as RAs in the past have been award
doctoral degrees, in addition to two other doctoral students in this COE program.
Approximately 15 more doctoral degrees are expected to be conferred upon students
affiliated with this program over the next few years.
We believe that the initiative of sougou seisakugaku should not only be extended
within Japan, but also worldwide. This COE program is working to establish aframework for researchers in Japan to exchange research results with theircounterparts in Vietnam, Thailand, and China on an ongoing basis. We also included
sougou seisakugaku in the curriculum of the International Advanced Degrees Program (inwhich a master’s degree must be completed in English) offered by the Graduate
School of Media and Governance. In the 2007 academic year, two sougou
seisakugaku courses were offered: Policy Management 1 (Development and Human
Security) and Policy Management 2 (Policy Formation and Social Innovations). The aim
here is the international extension of sougou seisakugaku and the fostering of young
researchers. In addition, it is hoped that through collaboration and joint operations
with domestic universities that have their own policy management faculty, it will bepossible to strengthen the domestic-overseas network of sougou seisakugaku.

Understanding and Control of Life's Functions via Systems Biology
Program Leader: Professor Hiroshi Yanagawa, Graduate School of Science and Technology
http://www.coebio.keio.ac.jp/index.cgi?je=1
After launching in 2002, the COE has completed its fifth year of activity. The center aims to be aworld-leader in research and education related to the understanding and control of life's
functions through systems biology. Towards that aim, three resource domains at Keio
University (namely, genome, proteome, and metabolome analysis; bio-probe technology; and in vivo
life phenomenon analysis) are used to promote convergence between informatics,
experimental life science, engineering, and medical treatment. Over the past five years, thecenter has had over 322 reports published in international journals such as Nature, Nature Cell
Biology, Nature Biotech, and Science.

Keio University Annual Report on Research Activities 2006–2007

To promote a collaborative research environment in systems biology, the center isstrengthening its information network for real-time exchange with sub-campuses. The network
enables remote lectures on the latest research results and target-oriented progress workshops. In
2005 and 2006, intensive workshops were held to promote exchange among sub-campuses
and research assistants in different fields at the Shonan International Village. Other successful
events included hosting three international and local symposia and co-hosting 10 others.
The center has introduced an overseas research aid program to further support post doctorates (PDs)and research assistant (RAs). Each year 50 RAs (including exchange students) are selected toparticipate in the program. To develop internationally talented researchers in molecular cellbiology (wet) and computational biology (dry), the center participates in collaborative research with
sub-campuses and awards the COE Research Cooperation Program Certificate for completing
appropriate course work in systems biology. A total of 37 RAs have been awarded thecertificate thus far.
Students in specific majors participate as short-term visiting fellows in targeted research at subcampuses. Excellent results have been produced in various fields, including "the discovery andapplication of new red blood cell function through bio-simulation" and "gene network andprotein interaction analysis." Participants in bio-simulation of red blood cell function included three

RAs from the Graduate School of Science and Technology and 5 RAs each from the Graduate
School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Media and Governance. These RAs were sent tomultiple sub-campuses for extended short-term laboratory work. Two of the RAs were able tocomplete English papers on the research topic. Participants in gene network and protein
interaction analysis achieved big advances in research by combining large-scale analysis
through original in vivo expression methods of the human gene network (Graduate School of
Science and Technology) with informatics analysis of domains and complexes generated frominteraction data (Graduate School of Media and Governance). The participants were thus able toefficiently combine wet and dry approaches in biology. The center also collaborates withoutside institutions such as RIKEN and UCLA. Students cooperating with these institutions
have achieved excellent results in a number of areas, including the prediction of new noncoding RNA from cDNA sequences and the discovery of a new mechanism to improve drug
sensitivity of tumor cells.
The center promotes collaboration with overseas institutions. Thus far, seven RAs have been sent
abroad to engage in joint research from three to six months at Massachusetts General Hospital(Prof. Rakesh), Duke University (Prof. Jarvis), University Aalborg/Denmark (Prof. Sinkjaer),
Forsyth Institute/Boston (Dr. Soukos), University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Prof. Moriyama),
University of Auckland/New Zealand (Dr. Connor), and UCLA (Prof. Bonavida). Each year since its
establishment, the COE has welcomed exchange students from China, South Korea, Taiwan,
Thailand, Bangladesh, and other countries.
For 2007, the center has been selected as a Global COE for “Humanoid Metabolomic Systems
Biology.” Based on a foundation in collaboration and interdisciplinary research among
affiliates and sub-campuses, the center will strive further to fulfill its mission as a research platform
for global collaboration. Going forward, we look forward to the continued support and advice of
all our partners.

Challenge 2006: LCC as an International Research Center
The 21st Century COE "Function Creation Oriented Life-Conjugated Chemistry" hasmade great strides during the past fiscal year of 2006 to crystallize efforts as aninternational research center and to develop human resources. As an international
research center, LCC aims to announce its research results globally while placing
great emphasis on collaboration and exchange with institutions abroad. In addition to
deepening the network of individual researchers abroad, LCC also cultivates
partnerships with other institutions. In 2005, Bio groups of Yonsei University (South Korea)
and the LCC bio group held a joint symposium in Korea. This was followed up a year laterwith a symposium in Japan. These joint events have served to strengthen the ties
between the two institutions. LCC also forged a partnership with the Aachen
University of Technology (Germany). The first fruits of this tie up appeared in October 2006
when LCC members visited Aachen University of Technology.

announce their results at international forums. Young RA were also able to participate in
the short-term overseas study program. A total of four students were selected to
study abroad for two to five months to gain invaluable research experience. Here in Japan,
LCC supported PhD students from abroad who wished participate in short-term study at
Keio University. Two students have been able to participate in the cooperative
student research program under the Graduate School of Science and Technology. The
COE-LCC has played a major role in the development of talented students at home
and abroad. Since its establishment five years ago, LCC has continued to mature as a
global research platform. From this solid base, we fully expect young researchers toflourish in the years to come.
We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to everyone who has supported LCC
through the years.

To help disseminate research results globally, LCC decided to team up with Aachen
University of Technology, which enjoys a 50-year relationship of exchange with Keio
University. On October 3, 10 LCC members and 19 RAs flew to Germany to participate in
the COE-LCC Keio-Aachen Joint Symposium held at Aachen University of Technology on
October 5. In addition to 10 lectures by LCC members and four by Aachen, LCC
showed 19 poster exhibits while Aachen displayed 24. Overall, the symposium was agreat opportunity for LCC to promote itself on the international stage. This symposium
would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of Professor Jun Okada from
Aachen University of Technology. Through his good services, the ties between Keio andAachen have been deepened even further. One day after the symposium, an event
was held to commemorate 50 years of exchange between Aachen and Keio. The
event was attended by Headmaster Inasaki and Director Obi of the International
Center in addition to 29 LCC members.
Since its inception as a COE, LCC has held nine international meetings. Three of thosemeetings were related to diamond electrodes. The last of these events was held in March
2007 as the final COE event. LCC has made every effort to be a global platform for futurematerials research at Keio University. Through cooperation with Dr. Akira Fujishima andVisiting Professor Yasuaki Einaga, each of three international symposiums was able tohost over 10 overseas researchers and over 100 total participants who engaged inlively discussions. We have steadily built upon these successes to steadily strive
towards our research objectives.
LCC has also taken the initiative to promote human resource development of young
researchers from an international perspective. Each year RAs have been required toJapanese and German

Next Generation Media and Intelligent Social Infrastructure
Program Leader: Professor Hideyuki Tokuda, Graduate School of Media and Governancehttp://www.coe21.sfc.keio.ac.jp/index.html.en
Overview
At this center, IT & digital media researchers and policy management
researchers have engaged in creative cooperation within a single structure,
forming a "skewered layer" model of three groups: Next-generation
infrastructure, next-generation applications, and advanced empiricalexperimentation. The objectives of the center are to support the future
ubiquitous network society through examination of social infrastructure for the 21st
century and to foster international research and education for discovering new
solutions to social and technological problems. Researchers and research
assistants (RAs) in each group were made aware of the "skewered layer"model to promote an integrated approach from the point of view of both needs andseeds. In addition to its own members, the center has collaborated with otheruniversities, local governments, and private industry to build an advanced
empirical experimentation system with a wide social scale. Indeed, the center has
established a unique, global, and interdisciplinary approach to education andresearch.

On November 11, we hosted the SFC Open Research Forum 2006 at
Marunouchi, Tokyo to give research presentations. Then in December, together
with overseas researchers we hosted the "lnternational Symposium on Media
Convergence and Social Infrastructure." The symposium provided a platform
for research presentations on converging media and intelligent social
infrastructure as well as lively discussions on R&D methodology. In addition, theresearch results achieved through this center have been compiled in book form
under the title "Collaborate! SFC Campus of Convergence." For thedevelopment of human research resources, the center has helped over 80
young researchers obtain advanced degrees over the past five years. The
center's young researchers have also been the recipients of numerous
accolades from Japan and overseas, such as the Laval Virtual Grand Pric du Jury
& Trophees Sciences et Education Award, the Prix Ars Electronica Honorary, the
MIC Minister's Award from the JGN2 R&D Idea Contest, the Young
Researcher's Award (Japan Human Interface Society), and the Special Award by
Jury (Japan Institute of Marketing Science).

At the next-generation infrastructure group, members have developed
advanced technologies in a number of areas such as satellite-based internet tointerconnect Asia, Smart Space, ubiquitous networks, active & multiknowledge bases, human interfaces, and broadband broadcast media. At the nextgeneration applications group, members have achieved excellent results in
Smart Graphics, SmartWeb, micro-archiving, the elucidation of physical skills,
language representation, collaboration technology, and the commercialization ofe-learning systems based on empirical experimentation. At the empiricalexperimentation group, members have announced numerous resultsinternationally. For example, the e-learning, e-governance, and e-space
subgroups have implemented a distance learning system, a school education
evaluation system, a digital earth system, and other systems. The group has alsoachieved excellent results in other fields such as education, the environment, egovernment, social surveying, and nursing & medical care.

Through international symposiums and workshops, the center has become an
essential node for connecting research networks in Japan and overseas. These
activities have made significant contributions to research related to social
infrastructure for the 21st century. Finally, this center has been able toestablish a collaborative R&D model based on interdisciplinary and multiple
domain perspectives. This new model is far different from those based onconventional and non-interdisciplinary approaches.

The 21st Century COE Program"Network of Excellence"

Members of the center have achieved remarkable success with over 608 journal
papers, 167 lecture invitations and 846 research presentations at international
forums, and 33 international and domestic awards. The center has formed core
partnerships with EC Lyon Institute of Nanotechnology (France), Harvard University(USA), and Xian Jiaotong University (China). It has also engaged in joint research with 30
university research institutes overseas. These two initiatives have promoted
international collaboration in research and education related to electronic information
systems. These invaluable assets will now be transferred to the Global COE where
they will be received with great expectations. We would like to extend our warmest
thanks to COE members, participants, and the executive office for their precious
support in successfully shaping the destiny of this center over the past five years.

Keio University Annual Report on Research Activities 2006–2007

The objective of the first project for “individualized medication based on
characteristics of both cancer cells and patients” is to search for and evaluatebiomarkers that can predict anti-cancer drug sensitivity and to develop individualized
medication through evaluating anti-cancer drug metabolism. The objective of thesecond project for “development of diagnostic and therapeutic methods targeting
sentinel lymph nodes” is to develop sentinel node navigation surgery for gastric and breast
cancers through joint clinical trials with multiple facilities. The objective of the third projectfor “development of high performance master-salve manipulators and tactile sensing
technology in robotic surgery” is to develop the control mechanism for a robot with builtin tactile sensing and to promote clinical applications of minimally invasive heart
surgery by the port-access MICS method. The objective of the fourth project for“development of minimally invasive therapy focusing on immunotherapy andcryoablation” is to evaluate clinical trials in cryoablation and immunotherapy. The
combined treatment of cryoablation and immunotherapy using dendritic cells whichwere manufactured at a cell processing facility in the university hospital was also
conducted.
The COE program established 4 new facilities to promote translational research. The

Cultivating a global orientation in young researchers
In October 2006, the center held a symposium and a luncheon discussion for Nobel
Laureate in Chemistry Dr. Peter Agre. These events provided graduate students and young
researchers with a precious opportunity to exchange ideas with Dr. Agre. To forge
research exchange with the Stem Cell Research Center at Lund University, main COE
members visited Sweden to help launch the center and to participate in the Joint
Keio-Lund Symposium.

As a result of this focused approach, members of this COE program have become thesenior (corresponding) authors of four papers related to regenerative medicine andstem cell research published in the journal, Nature Medicine. This COE has thus
established itself as a world-leading research base.
In addition, the center engaged in the following special activities during 2006.
COE animal database (SCAD)
The Shinanomachi Campus Animal Database provides an archive of geneticallymodified animals. The database promotes the efficient use of experimental animals andjoint research projects. (Person in charge: Associate Professor Matsuo Koichi) Since
January 16, 2007, six groups from the center have registered over 150 items in the

research with Warwick University. For activities in Asia, the center has forgedcollaborative agreements with Yonsei University (South Korea) and the Korea Institute forAdvanced Study (KIAS). (The image shows the agreement ceremony.) The center has also
made collaborative agreements with the Rumanian Academy of Sciences, theVietnamese Academy of Sciences, and the Universidad de Los Andes (Colombia).
These agreements have enabled young researchers from abroad to visit Keio
University and participate with young COE researchers as part of an invitation
program for the cultivation of research talent. In addition to international
collaboration agreements, the COE is currently promoting cooperation with various
other institutes. Through these efforts, the COE has received approval to establish theCenter for Integrative Mathematics as one of the Keio Advanced Research Centers(KARC). The aim of the new center is to become a platform for global education andresearch.

A second example is collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley.
Professor Alan Weinstein of Berkeley is a COE advisor who has provided invaluable
counsel in the formation of our center. Through his efforts, the center has been able totie up with Berkeley for collaboration on education and research. We are now
planning to invite faculty and young researchers from Berkeley to visit our center. A third
example is the collaborative agreement made with Ecole Polytechnique in Europe.
This institution already has a broad agreement with Keio University. So the COE has beenable forge ties with the Department of Mathematics.

http://www.coesys.keio.ac.jp/English/index.html
In 2006, the center focused on well-defined topics in system life research while promoting
close collaboration among COE members and actively pursuing exchange with research
institutes overseas. These efforts have led to the following research achievements.
•Establishment of safety technology able to respond to unpredictable conditions (HumanScale Product Innovation Project)
The center has developed an intelligent control system that uses a cubic neural network,
which incorporates multidimensional parallel processing, and has established parallel
processing methods for a multi time scale axis. This type of control system is essential for thedesign of robots that will one day coexist with humans in an open environment. In addition, COE
product innovation efforts for designing a new guide robot have led to the development of new
information processing methods in robotics, human interface programs, and safetymechanisms.
•System life approach to architectural design (Macro Scale Product Innovation Project)
As an actual example of product innovation in the field of architecture based on the system life
concept, the center designed the government building for Yusuhara Town in Kochi Prefecture.
Compared to the old building, the new government building uses 41% less electricity. Office
workers have also given the building high praise for its work environment efficiency. Based on thesystem life concept, we have shown how the use of multiple passive and active controls in parallelis an effective way to reduce the environmental burden and to optimize the living comfort.
•New approach to development of artificial organs (Common platform technology for systemdesign)For the development of human research resources, the center has implemented a research
assistant/post doc employment program and an international internship program. In addition, thecenter has established an Advanced Design School that offers three courses: Product &System Design, Architecture System Design, and Space System Design. Some course work is given
as an English lecture series by internationally reputable instructors. Through these courses,
the center has stimulated the development of new fields of study and enabled young
researchers to pursue the potential of "system life" design from both research and educational
perspectives. In addition, the international lecturers have helped to cultivate a global
orientation in our young researchers.
The international internship program has deepened the bonds of exchange by enabling young
researchers to pursue studies at institutions overseas such as University of Sheffield, Carnegie
Mellon University, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, Industrial Physics andChemistry Higher Educational Institution (ESPCI), Université de Lille (France), Institut Curie,
Université de Rouen, Dantec Dynamics, Technical University of Denmark, and University of
Warwick.
In other activities, the center has also invited Professor Pfeifer, Professor Feng, and otheracademic luminaries to participate in international workshops (see below) for stimulating
discussions on system life research and related topics.

The 21st Century COE Program

The 21st Century COE "Integrative Mathematical Sciences: Progress in Mathematics
Motivated by Natural and Social Phenomena" has placed great emphasis on
becoming a center of international activity. For example, in 2006 the center took the
initiative in forging collaborative agreements with many international education andresearch institutions related to mathematical sciences. These agreements were madepossible thanks to the many international exchange activities hosted over the years
through the Department of Mathematics (Faculty of Science and Technology) and theCenter for Mathematics (School of Fundamental Science and Technology (Graduate
School of Science and Technology)). Through invitations to overseas researchers and joint
research efforts, the COE has further enhanced this already excellent record of
exchange. COE also cooperates with Keio University Organization for Global Initiatives(OGI), which has a long history of comprehensive international activities. Under the
auspices of OGI, COE has been able to create even more opportunities for cooperation ininternational education and research. One example is collaboration with the
Department of Mathematics & Statistics at Boston University, USA. With the help of Keio
University, which operates student exchange programs, the COE has promoted joint
research through exchange among PhD students and collaboration among faculty
members. Students from Boston University have already visited Keio University toengage in stimulating discussions with young COE researchers.

Competitive Research Funds

The government's budget for science and technology is increasing every year. However, the 3rd Science and Technology Basic Plan (FY 2006 to 2010) specifies toorganizations aiming to become world-class research centers that strategic funds will be given under the principle of competition. Under this policy, competition forresearch funds among universities is growing more intense every year. In FY 2006, eight government ministries distributed 470.1 billion yen in competitive
research funds from the science and technology budget.
One common source of competitive research funds is the MEXT Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (Kakenhi). The Kakenhi budget for FY 2006 was 189.5 billion yen,which is 1.86 times greater than the 1996 budget of 101.8 billion yen. The table under "1) MEXT Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research" shows rankings by institution from2004 to 2006 and includes the performance of Keio University.

Another common source of competitive research funds is the Special Coordination Fund for the Promotion of Science and Technology. This policy-encouraged-typecompetitive research fund is administered by MEXT in accordance with the Council for Science and Technology Policy. In FY 2006, the fund had a budget of 39.8 billion
yen, which is 1.85 times greater than the 1996 budget of 21.5 billion yen. Section "2) Special Coordination Fund for the Promotion of Science and Technology" introduces
proposals of Keio University in FY 2007 (applied for in FY 2006) adopted under the MEXT program "Creation of Innovation Centers for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research

1 Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (Kakenhi)
Kakenhi is designed to remarkably develop any academic research, from basic toapplied, in fields ranging from humanities and social sciences to the natural sciences,
based on the free thinking of individual researchers. The grants are meant to beprovided, after peer review, to innovative and pioneering research projects.
The number of applications submitted in FY 2006 was 116,000 (9,000 less than FY2005). From this total, 46,000 proposals qualified for research funding (6,000 less than FY2005).

The table shows the number of Kakenhi projects adopted from FY 2004 to 2006 (new andthose continuing from the previous year) and the amounts distributed (at the time of
selection) of the top 20 institutions. The aggregate of the top 10 accounts for about 42%of the total, and that of the top 20 for about 52%. Keio University was ranked 13th overall
and first among private universities.

This program was established under the FY 2006 Science and Technology Basic Plan (thirdterm) as a scheme to form research and education centers based on large-scalecompetitive research funds. These funds are targeted to promotion of innovation inareas of advanced and important interdisciplinary research, through the cooperation ofindustry, academia, and government. The aims of the program are two-fold; firstly toprovide a solid and most advanced environment for junior researchers, and secondly toform a R&D location that will produce future applications in industry, science andsociety. The total research period is 10 years, with the provision that there will beassessments after three and seven years to determine whether the research merits afurther continuation.
The aim of Keio's project is to create new, multi-faceted communities based on theconvergence of real living space and information spaces, and a new type of mobility
systems to provide easier access in the real space. What we call the "Co-mobility
Society" refers to a comfortable, safe and creative living and communication space inwhich all people —young and old alike— would be able to live and communicate
with each other. So far, community research has been limited to either a small scale local
