CenterAlong with its traditional interests in education andresearch, Keio University believes that its most importantmission is to return the fruits from both endeavors to society.
Based on "Gakujutsu Sendo (leadership for scientificprogress)," Keio aims at promoting internationally competitiveand creative scientific research in order to make significant
contributions to the 21st Century, thus serving as driving force
for future society.
A large number of advanced and joint research projects
are routinely underway at each Keio campus: Mita, Hiyoshi,
Yagami, Shinanomachi and Shonan Fujisawa. In FY2002 andFY2003, a total of 12 proposals by Keio University were
designated for the 21st Century Centers of Excellence (COE)
Program by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Scienceand Technology (MEXT). Each project is actively being
pursued. In FY2004, Keio's proposal was once again
approved, this time as the first private university to be
designated a "Super-COE," a Project for Creating a Strategic
Research Center. This is an award constituting one of thelargest competitive funds available ─ some 800 million yen peryear allocated by the Ministry.
Research projects at Keio often involve collaboration
between industry, government and academia. Such research
activities are most distinctively being practiced at the Keio
Leading-edge Laboratory of Science and Technology (KLL),
the Center for Integrated Medical Research, the Shin-Kawasaki
Keio Frontier Research and Education Collaborative Square,
the Institute for Advanced Biosciences, and the Keio ResearchInstitute at SFC.

The Offices for Research Administration on each campus
have long played an important institutional role. These Offices
provide practical advice and services to support individual
researchers. Keio has successfully and, proactively, sought toprotect and properly utilize research results as identifiable
intellectual properties since the 1998 establishment of theIntellectual Property Center (IPC). The IPC is pioneering
technology licensing organization in Japan. On October 1,
2003, Keio also launched the Organization for Research
Advancement and Administration (ORAA) to further facilitate aseries of research activities by supporting researchers,
generating new and innovative research, and promoting
research returns to society.

Roles and Functions of the Organization for Research
Advancement and Administration (ORAA)The ORAA is composed of the Center for Research
Promotion, the Incubation Center, the Intellectual Property
Center (IPC), and the Offices of Research Administration, as
illustrated in the figure. It makes overall strategy of the
University, for cooperation with industry, government andacademia, and for supporting a system of researchers andresearch projects within the University, from the start ofplanning to the end of returning the results to society. The
major roles and functions of each organization in the ORAA are
as follows.
The Center for Research Promotion is the contact point, foranyone outside Keio University in private business, research
institutions, or a university, in- and outside Japan, interested in
Keio-related research collaboration. The Center functions as arepresentative of the University, and organizes comprehensive
agreements between corporations and all of Keio, including
the planning for commercialization of technologies andmatching coordination with the best possible combination ofresearch and researchers.
This does not mean to totally cast off existing "one sectionof a company to one laboratory of university" type cooperation,
but rather to derive greater benefits from cross-sectional,
industry-government-academia exchange of technologies,
research and development projects, by taking advantage ofcompetencies within Keio University, due to its variety of
disciplines.
In the University, the Center surveys governmental policy
and industrial trends, collects and analyzes information on
research grants and subsidies, provides information toresearchers, and to the Advisory Board. The Board, in turn,formulates comprehensive and strategic research topics forKeio. It also cooperates with other offices in the ORAA, such as
Offices of Research Administration, and the IPC.
The Incubation Center is an organization dedicated tosupporting and nurturing business efforts at the initial stage,as these originate from researchers, administrative staff, andstudents of Keio University.
*As of November 2004, the Incubation Center has not yet commenced
operations. Please direct any enquiries to the Center for Research Promotion.

The Intellectual Property Center (IPC) is a technology
licensing organization with a range of responsibilities. IPC is
responsible for the management and operation of intellectual
properties to the support of a venture started within the

University. Upon request of an inventor, the IPC closely
examines the patentability or potential for licensing, files anapplication for a patent, and manages its maintenance.
Another important role of the IPC is to support licensing andventure startups. The Center also hosts the Keio Technology
Licensing Forum to introduce potential startups from Keio tolocal businesses. The Center also manages investment
possibilities in a venture company from the Entrepreneur
Assistance Fund.
The Offices of Research Administration located on each
campus at Mita, Hiyoshi, Yagami, Shinanomachi and Shonan
Fujisawa, provide official information on sources of research,facilities, opportunities for research grants to researchers, anda variety of services including support for making or
negotiating for joint or commissioned researches, managementof research expenses, operation of laboratories, andcompilation and presentation of research results. The offices
also function, standing by the researchers, as a contact point
for collaboration on campus and cooperate with eachorganization within the ORAA.
Furthermore, the Head Office of Research Administration
functions as an umbrella to integrate an Office of Research
Administration on each campus, the Center for Keio Frontier
Research and Education Collaborative Square (K-FRECS), andthe Center for Integrated Education System. The Head Office,on one hand, shares and compiles information on researches
and researchers with other offices and develops and maintains
a research database. It is, on the other hand, responsible forsupporting transmission of research results from Keio, forinstance, as in the "Symposium for Interim Report on Keio
University 21st Century COE Programs" held on April 17 andApril 19, 2004.
Inventors at Keio University may lodge objections for patentapplications with the Intellectual Property Mediation
Committee. The Research Ethics Committee deals with andkeeps every party well informed of rules and regulations
concerning not only intellectual properties but also research
ethics, conflicts of interest and duties, and issues on side jobs
and confidentiality.

FY2003Development of a Theory of Market Quality andan Empirical Analysis Using Panel Data

Policy Innovation Initiative■Program Leader：Professor Naoyuki Yoshino■Program Leader：Professor Moriyuki Oe■Program Leader：Professor Yoshiaki Kobayashi
Graduate School of Law

With the globalization that has been progressing in recent years, clashes in
the area of multiculturalism have made themselves apparent in many states andsocieties. On the consideration that these problems cannot be resolved at thelevel of political leadership alone; the program proposed will establish,
mechanisms to clarify the ways citizens attitudes is promoted, developed andchanged, and to consider the direction in which multicultural communities are
moving.
,
The eventual aim is to establish a "multicultural citizen s attitudes research,
center" and to establish an enlarged "citizens attitudes data archive," targeted at,
a variety of countries. Together they will constitute Japan s first internationallyoriented human research network. Research plans: to increase data and related,
analyses regarding citizens attitudes in a multicultural world; establishing thecauses of conflicts, while carrying on investigation into condititions that will makeit harder for such conflicts to arise. Research will be undertaken into the outlook
for political society in the twenty-first century: the differences in attitudes ofpolitical society within multiculturalism in particular comparison between thegeneration responsible for contemporary society and the generation who will bearthat responsibility in the future. Education-related plans: providing research funds
for younger researchers on a competitive basis, as well as organizing graduate
students to participate in surveys relating to the main area of proposed research,,giving instruction on the implementation of citizens attitudes surveys and related
analyses. Moreover, in order to make known the results of research undertaken
in foreign languages, along with the publication of a foreign language review, it is
proposed to subsidize travel expenses for those presenting at international
conferences.
Through these research and educational approaches, we aim to establish a
program of global research and education, not only carrying out opinion surveys,
into citizens attitudes, but effecting research and education of the highest
international standard into the topic of global civil governance.

Since the early 1990s, the Japanese economy has been in a long recession. Our 21st century
center of excellence program is premised on the belief that the fundamental cause of this long lastingrecession is the lack of high quality markets within the Japanese economy. We believe that improving
the quality of Japanese markets is the key to revitalizing the economy. Motivated by this belief, ourprogram aims to reveal the determinants of market quality by combining theoretical and empiricalanalyses with a broad range of historical and institutional case studies.
On the one hand, the importance of "quality" has been emphasized in various facets of managerialsciences. On the other hand, issues related to quality have not been fully examined in economics,
perhaps due to difficulties associated with quantifying a "quality." In particular, market quality has neverbeen presented as a subject for serious economic analysis. Gathering leading economists andmanagerial scientists at Keio University, our program intends to shed light on this new research subject
and hopes to develop a new school of thought guiding economic policymaking.
In order to conduct sound quantitative analyses of market quality, high quality data is indispensable.
In order to build such data, in our program, we design and build longitudinal panel data; longitudinal
panel data tracks, for a large number of economic agents, activities of each agent over a long span oftime. Unfortunately in Japan, unlike in the U.S. and Europe, the accumulation of longitudinal data, inparticular on consumption, remains poor. We are determined to make continuous and long lasting
efforts to become a leading center of longitudinal panel data in Japan.
Data that we can confirm to be reliable will be made usable for public. We are certain that thesedata will greatly contribute not only to understanding market quality but also to research in various
fields of social science beyond our research theme.

Integrative Mathematical Sciences:
Progress in Mathematics Motivated by
Natural and Social Phenomena■Program Leader：Professor Yoshiaki Maeda
Graduate School of Science and Technology

The Integrative Mathematical Sciences program isdesigned to open up new horizons in mathematics bybridging the gaps between pure mathematics andapplication-oriented mathematics, and to investigate
new concepts and leadership methods for mathematicalsciences. The core of the research and educational
program is built on pure mathematics, as supported bydata science and experimental mathematics. Data
science serves as the interface to various dataintensive phenomena, and experimental mathematics
supports the experimental aspect of mathematicalsciences.
The main objective of our program is to promote theconstruction of international educational and research
centers through integrating these three aspects ofmathematical sciences. To facilitate our efforts further,
the Center for Integrative Mathematical Sciences at
Keio will be established under the auspices of the
President at the earliest possible opportunity.
As well as our research projects, we have a strong
mandate to encourage Ph.D. students and young
researchers internationally. For this purpose, we havealready started weekly interdisciplinary seminars andcolloquia to enhance interdisciplinary exchanges.
Another important aspect of our COE programs isdomestic and international collaborations inmathematical sciences with educational and research
institutions overseas. We also invite researchers to givelecture series for graduate students, both to inform thestudents of progress in recent important problems inmathematics, and to encourage research collaborations
with the COE program. We also plan to organize aninternational workshop each year.

FY2003The purpose of this program is to establish a
network of research and training organizations inJapan and Asia. This network will enable
researchers and practitioners to cooperate infinding the "problems" in need of solutions, in
identifying and developing the resources to be
mobilized for the solutions, and in generatingconsensus in the methods of solving the problems.
We also aim at realigning existing methods ofinquiry in a manner conducive to finding andsolving the "problems" attendant upon the rapidly
increasing pressures of globalization, demographic
change, and environmental change. Our purpose
is to develop a new mode of analysis and practicefor effective policy formation and to form a newpolicy innovation "community" where scientific andpractical knowledge can be joined.
As enunciated in the 1994 Human
Development Report of the UNDP, "freedom fromfear and freedom from want" represent theessence of human security. We join in thisformation of policy imperatives. The specific issues
requiring innovative policies for promoting "humansecurity" are diverse. Common to all these issues
are the threats and the unmistakable condition of
insecurity each poses to the individuals, to thecommunities, and to the regions involved,
regardless of their stages of economic
development.

Designing toward the Ordering of Political Society
in a Multicultural and Pluri-generational WorldThe Keio University Graduate School of Medicine boasts an excellent staff in two academic fields: (1) stem
cell biology and regenerative medicine, and (2) immunology and autoimmune disease research using animalmodels of human diseases. The COE takes maximum advantage of the traditional joint research systemapproaches based on the development of experimental animal models since the founding of the school, andwhile ensuring ethicality and safety based on the achievements of basic medicine, the basic and clinical staffs
collaborate in endeavoring to elucidate the pathophysiology of incurable diseases and to develop newtreatment methods. It will form a "self-renewing" educational center that will foster and turn out many
researchers with a broad perspective. The COE will be characterized by I) incorporation of basic biology,
taking advantage of Drosophila genetics, into the medical area, II) development of in vivo experimental
medicine using human cells and original animal models of human disease, and III) application of the results by
the university hospital that possesses state-of-the-art clinical capabilities. It will also establish an evaluation
system that will enable the maintenance of high-level studies by introducing research projects at the Research
Park.

Establishment of Individualized Cancer Therapy based on Comprehensive
Development of Minimally Invasive and Innovative Therapeutic Methods

This COE aims at establishing a global
collaborative and educational research center of
excellence based on the system design engineering
which was initiated by Keio University. In this COE, an
important role will be played in the mechanical andarchitectural fields of engineering by leading in the
21st century the paradigm shift to life for theengineering developed historically from highperformance technology to intelligence technology inthe 20th century. In order to create harmony in theworld of the natural entities and artifact systems
interacting each other, this COE focuses on thecharacteristics of life as a system as well as various
life functions and creates a new design methodology
of mechanical and architectural systems which areenabled to be interactive among inner components
and outer systems by embedding design information
including rules of interaction into artifact systems.
In order to achieve the objective of this COE, thesystem design engineering will be further developed
as a backbone of the COE and several productinnovations with respect to architecture, robotics,
energy/bio systems and so on will be explored. This
COE program will provide graduate school students
and young researchers a good opportunity tochallenge research through unique educational
programs such as overseas internship and curriculumof leading-edge design school.

■Program Leader：Professor Masaki Kitajima
Graduate School of Medicine

In this COE program, we will attempt to establish individualized cancer
therapies based on the comprehensive development of minimally invasive andinnovative therapeutic methods through translational research. Research will be
conducted in three main areas: 1) development of diagnostic methods enabling
individualized treatment, including genetic diagnosis and new RI imaging; 2)development of minimally invasive treatments, including endoscopic and robotic
surgery; and 3) development of new cancer treatments, including
immunotherapy, gene therapy and molecular target therapy. This research will
be mainly performed at the Keio University Center for Integrated Medical
Research, which has several new research facilities like the Laboratory Animals
Center, RI Center and Central Research Laboratory, as well as at Keio
University Hospital. To conduct this program efficiently, strong collaboration

between the basic and clinical departments of the Keio University Graduate
School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Science and Technology as well
as between Keio University and outside academia and industry will be required.
,
The center s Shinanomachi Research Park will provide research space forcollaborations. Updated cancer research information on basic and clinical topics
will be made available to graduate students, young researchers and medical
doctors to enhance their research capabilities. International symposia andworldwide teleconferences will help to provide a global perspective on learning.
Through these efforts, we will attempt to establish a world renowned cancer
center that can quickly translate basic research into clinical applications while
training the next generation of researchers and medical doctors needed for the
future advancement of cancer medicine.

Technology Transfer
The Intellectual Property Center (IPC) was established in November 1998 as a Technology Licensing Organization (TLO) basedon a policy that research results originating from Keio University are valuable intellectual assets for which the University actively
promotes implementation, protection and utilization of these rights. The IPC as a right holder would work even harder for its
mission and strengthen ties and cooperation between the University and society, corresponding to the "Jitsugaku no Seishin, (spiritof practical learning)" as Yukichi Fukuzawa, as the University's founder advocated.

Ⅰ. Flow of Technology Transfer

Ⅲ. Licensing
A total of 105 cases of patent licensing have been madesince the Intellectual Property Center was founded. Most of
the companies that entered into these contracts were of asmall or medium sized. Licensing revenues have increased asso did the number of cases, reaching 64 million yen in FY2003
for a cumulative total of 137 million yen.

Nagoya and Kawasaki in FY2003, and plans to come to Kyushu
and other areas in FY2004.

1. Nurture of Venture Business
The Intellectual Property Center (IPC) is responsible for the
initiatives described below in support of starting a venturecompany as an effective means of commercializing technologies
born from Keio University, as well as creating good environment
for ventures by finding and training resource persons throughthese initiatives.

3. Promotion of Commercialization
The IPC promotes technology transfer, by helping develop
software or making a prototype to demonstrate the advantages ofthe patented technology which seems to be theoretically andconceptually convincing but rather difficult to evaluate commercial
values otherwise.

1) Keio Venture Forum
Keio Venture Forum has been organized to provide support
and advice on business planning to start a venture company
originating from Keio's industrial property right. The forum offers
services to venture capitalists, trading companies and incubators,
which have cooperative agreements with Keio.
2) Entrepreneur Assistance Fund
Keio University has established an Entrepreneur AssistanceFund to invest up to one million yen but less than 30 percent of thetotal capital in a research and development-based venturecompany originating from industrial property rights of Keio
University. The Operating Committee for the fund makes a final
decision on each investment upon recommendation by the IPC.
3) Licensing to Venture Companies
Keio University accepts licensing fees through equity such as
stock or stock options in lieu of cash, following a carefulconsideration of the financing standing of the venture company.

has given high priority to the intellectual property for the "patenttype" for which the acquisition of rights is necessary for licensing.
A total of over 627 patent applications have been filed (492 inJapan, 135 overseas) since the center's establishment. The
School of Medicine and the Faculty of Science and Technology

2. Promotion of Technology Licensing
Learning from the last five-year experience of technology
transfer, the IPC believes that small and medium-sized enterprises
are the most important potential partners. From that point of view,
the IPC has newly organized a Keio Technology Licensing Forumto strengthen collaboration with smaller businesses outside Tokyo.
The Forum promotes nationwide networking by introducing Keio's
technologies to local businesses. It also aims to foster two-way
collaboration not only by introducing the University's potential, butalso by going out to find local needs. The Forum was held in

4. Coordination of Joint Research
The IPC actively coordinates joint research with private
enterprises utilizing the intellectual property rights of Keio
University. The IPC's promotion of venture businesses born from
Keio also contributed to procurement of governmental funds,
including the "Project to Create Businesses Originating from
Universities and Research and Development of Application of
University Technology" by the Ministry of Economy, Trade andIndustry, and the "Project to Support the Creation of Ventures
Originating from Universities" by the MEXT. Such external funds
from private enterprises and the government amounted to 502
million yen in FY2003.
The IPC gives advice on terms and conditions of a joint
research contract, which needs to be carefully phrased, especiallyfor intellectual property rights, taking both positions of the
University and the business into consideration.

The two tables and graph below show the top twenty research institutions by overall amount of competitive research funds
distributed in FY2001 and FY2002. The vast majority was distributed to national universities, particularly to seven former imperial
universities (before becoming national universities in 1947), (Hokkaido University, Tohoku University, the University of Tokyo,
Nagoya University, Kyoto University, Osaka University, and Kyushu University). That accounts for nearly 40% of the total and the
University of Tokyo alone received more than 10% of the total.
The 19 institutions out of the 20 appeared both in FY2001 and FY2002. Keio University was ranked eleventh for both years (thefirst among private universities).

Comparison of Universities by Competitive Research Funds Distributed
The competitive research fund is defined here as "a fund for research and development to be
distributed to researchers and institutions making proposals to a subject publicly announced, andpassing the examination based primarily on scientific and technological perspectives, by a committee
composed of more than two members including experts in the field of subject."* One example shouldbe "the 21st Century COE Program" for which Keio University won twelve projects in total in FY2002
and FY2003. As is typically so a fund for the "Project for Creating Strategic Research Center" of Special
Coordination Funds for Promoting Science and Technology by the MEXT, commonly known as "Super
COE," for which Keio was adopted in May 2004 (cf. p.1).
The national budget for competitive research funds in FY2003 totaled to approximately 350 billion
yen, equivalent to 10% of investment in government research and development. Out of it,
approximately 135 billion yen was allocated as Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, known as
Kakenhi designated by the MEXT (also see the website of the Japan Society for the Promotion of
Science). In terms of amount, Kakenhi should be the most typical of competitive research funds of all.
The table and graph below show the top twenty research institutions Kakenhi distributed,
according to the number of (new and continuing) projects adopted and changes in amount from
FY2001 to FY2003. The amount of the University of Tokyo, the top institution, accounts forapproximately 10% of the total. The Kakenhi amount distributed to Keio University is ranked the firstamong the private universities, but the number of projects adopted equals only some 20% of that of
the University of Tokyo, and 10% for the amount distributed.

The graph below compares the top nine universities with Keio University according to the ratio of competitive research funds touniversity's revenues in FY2001.
Three major sources of revenue (106 billion yen) of Keio University are tuition, including other student fees and entrance
examination fees, income from medical activities, and subsidies from government. Tuitions and medical income (83 billion yen)
together account for 78% of the total, and the subsidies (17 billion yen) for 16%, according to "Keio Gijukuho (Keio Newsletter),"
No. 2009, June 10, 2002. Competitive research funds to Keio remain at the level of approximately 4% of the revenue, as seen in
the graph.
At national universities, to the contrary, subsidies from government account for approximately 70% of the revenues while
tuitions for only some 10% ("Shukan Toyokeizai (Weekly Toyokeizai)," October 19, 2002). This is because the government fully
covered deficiencies of revenues of national universities until their becoming independent university corporations in April 2004.
The supplementary subsidies enabled revenues of national universities to maintain the same or higher than Keio's, despite lower
income from tuition and medical fees. It should be remarked that, in addition to the subsidies, competitive research funds
equivalent to 10-25% of the revenues are still allocated to national universities.

Research Funds at Keio University in FY2003

Research funds at Keio University from national and local government institutions, private businesses, university funding, etc.,
totaled to approximately 14.9 billion yen in FY2003, 1.1 billion yen increase from 13.8 billion yen in FY2002. One of the factors
appears to be a large increase in subsidies, especially a total of 985 million yen for newly adopted seven programs for the 21stCentury COE Program.*
In the following, data on research funds are categorized by 1. campus, 2. affiliation of researchers, 3. type of funds, and 4. fieldof research.
*Method of categorization used here is different from that in "Keio University Annual Report on Research Activities 2002-2003."

1. Research Funds by Campus
The data in this section show total of research funds by campus. Some of funds of research projects are compiled for a
campus where the projects are not actually conducted.
From the largest to smallest in number of research projects, Shinanomachi Campus is on the top, followed by Yagami, Shonan
Fujisawa, Mita, Hiyoshi, Shin-Kawasaki, and Tsuruoka. Shinanomachi collects more than a half of amount of total research funds.

Researchers from outside Keio

Researchers at Keio University in FY2003

This section presents data on researchers involved in research or education at Keio University (Professors, Associate
Professors, Assistant Professors and Instructors), doctoral students and awardees of doctor's degrees, and researchers
participating in research projects at Keio but not affiliated under the any of above conditions.

Number of Researchers"Tenured researchers" are those employed under full-time contracts without fixed terms. "Researchers with fixed period
contract" are either full-time or part-time. Of those with fixed period contracts, "special research professors" are paid by researchfunds allocated from outside Keio University as a condition of appointment.
"Researchers" in the following data only include University researchers (Professors, Associate Professors, Assistant Professors
and Instructors) and excludes teachers at affiliated elementary and secondary schools of Keio University.
In contrast to Mita and Hiyoshi campuses, there are more researchers funded by external research sources at the Yagami,
Shinanomachi, and Shonan Fujisawa campuses. The number of the non-tenured researchers (that is, the total number of
researchers with fixed period contracts and special research professors) accounts for 16% overall, but is a striking 45% at Shonan
Fujisawa Campus.

Keio University has long emphasized the creation of a good environment for intellectual exchange and synergistic cooperation
with researchers both within and outside the institution, with the goal of sharing common or related research subject.
On Mita and Hiyoshi campuses, each research institution has its own system to accept researchers from outside. On the
Shinanomachi Campus, the Integrated Medical Research Center can accept researchers, as can the Keio Leading-edge
Laboratory of Science and Technology (KLL) at Yagami, and the Keio Research Institute at Shonan Fujisawa.
