Unflagging Generation of Knowledge:
Independence and Collaboration in Global Society

Keio University

The year 2008 marks a momentous milestone for Keio University: the 150th
year since its establishment. The history of Keio University parallels the
150 years since Japan opened its ports to the rest of the world. During thishistorical landmark year, Keio University is taking a resolute step forward into
the next 150 years, proud of the substantial role that it has played in themodernization of Japan.
In April 2008, the University established a Faculty of Pharmacy and a
Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, as well as two independent
Schools: the Graduate School of System Design and Management, and the
Graduate School of Media Design. Keio University is applying its
comprehensive capabilities and the synergistic effects of its diverse
activities to dramatically increase the quality of education offered.
Based on a vision of creating "intellectual value" and opening up diverse new
fields, Keio University is striving to become a university with an ellipticalstructure that embodies a dynamic balance between two focuses:
maintaining a distance from short-term social and economic trends(independence) on the one hand, and active engagement with real-worldsociety (coexistence) on the other.
In addition to conducting academic research of the highest standard, Keio
University will transmit the content and results of its research, based on anawareness of the increasing demand for universities to contribute tosociety, for example through collaboration with partners in society,industry, government, and academia.
Publication of the "Annual Report on Research Activities 2007-2008" - the sixth
since the report's inception-is one aspect of this effort. Like last year, thetheme of the report is "transmitting research results on an international
scale." In addition to statistical data, we have included topics and content thatwill enable readers to gain a clearer understanding of our current
research activities and related trends.
Keio University has embarked on a new challenge to become one of theworld's leading universities. We hope that this report will provide someidea of the future potential embodied in the university's research activities.

Advancement of Research at Keio University
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 "Gakujutsu Sendo (leadership for scientific progress)", theUniversity aims to make significant contributions to international society in the
21st century through original and creative academic research. Keio University
promotes numerous advanced research projects at six campuses: Mita,
Hiyoshi, Yagami, Shinanomachi, Shonan Fujisawa, and Shiba Kyoritsu.
Traditionally, Keio University has been deeply involved in collaborative
activities between industry, government, and academia. Activities such ascommissioned research, joint research, and personnel exchanges are mainly
undertaken at five research facilities: the Keio Leading-edge Laboratory of
Science and Technology (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 and
Education Collaborative Square (K-FRECS) in Kawasaki City, and the Institutefor Advanced Biosciences in Tsuruoka City.

Keio 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.

Offices of Research Administration
Support research activities at all campuses

Keio Advanced Research Centers (KARC)
Supports advanced, interdisciplinary research activities

The campuses of Mita, Hiyoshi, Yagami, Shinanomachi, Shonan Fujisawa, Shin-Kawasaki,
and Tsuruoka each have an Office of Research Administration. Each office supports researchoriented to the researcher, acts as an on-campus contact point for external organizations,and promotes research collaboration with the Organization for Research Advancement andAdministration (ORAA). Specifically, the Offices provide information to researchers in areas
such as research resources, research environments, and opportunities for research subsidies
from inside and outside Keio University (public calls for subsidy applications), and also offer
a variety of other support services including negotiations and completion of contracts forjoint or commissioned research, management of research expenses and research spaces,
and compilation and presentation of research results.

In recent years, Keio University has felt an increasing need to create a new combined
research center (or education and research center) based on cooperation between diverse
fields. To respond to this need, the Keio Advanced Research Centers (KARC) was established
on February 1, 2007. KARC spans across all university faculties and graduate schools tofacilitate the establishment and management of research centers, the mobility of theirpersonnel. It thereby stimulates the formation and speed of interdisciplinary research
activities.

Roles and Functions of the ORAAThe ORAA is comprised of various Centers and Committees, including: theCenter for Research Promotion (CRP), the Keio Incubation Center (KIC), theIntellectual Property Center (IPC), the 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 startof strategic research to the transmission of results to society. The major roles
and functions of each organization in the ORAA are as follows.

Intellectual Property Mediation Committee

Research Ethics Committee

When an inventor lodges an objection regarding a given patent application, the Intellectual
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 andregulations related to issues such as
research ethics and conflicts ofinterest. Its main goal is to create
structures that are capable ofpromoting fairness and safety inresearch activities in response to
demands from society, particularly
with regard to compliance problems in
relation to recent university research
activities, and the conflicts of interest
that can arise in activities involving
collaborations among industry,
government, and academia.

together with industry at each campus, from thepreliminary stage of education and research to the returnof research achievements to society. The Incubation Center
1) plans and examines systems and mechanisms (funding
support schemes,etc.) that are necessary to support new
ventures, 2) formulates rules and guidelines for incubation
activities, 3) conducts surveys and collects statistics for
incubation activities and ventures originating from the
University, 4) builds and maintains internal and external
incubation support networks, 5) and supports the
management of incubation facilities. In addition, the KIC
provides public relations, information on entrepreneurial
education programs, and contest management for
incubation activities and ventures originating from the Keio
University.

Center for Research Promotion (CRP)
Coordinates collaboration between industry, government, andacademia
The Center for Research Promotion (CRP) plays the role of general producer forplanning and promoting integrated and strategic research efforts based oncollaboration between industry, government and academia. In addition, the CRP
serves as a gateway to coordinate collaboration between companies, universities,
and research institutes in Japan and overseas. CRP is responsible for advancing
interdisciplinary research and comprehensive research collaboration. Specifically,
the CRP advances joint research projects through discovering and combining
university resources that match business needs. It supports the application
process to obtain public funding on research themes together with industry. The
CRP manages university research grant-in-aid to support joint research between
industry, government, and academia. Through symposiums, it also advances
exchange and communication of research results with external organizations.
These activities are advanced through discussions with the CRP Advisory Board.

Intellectual Property Center(IPC)
The Technology Licensing
Organization (TLO) for Keio
University
As Keio University's Technology
Licensing Organization (TLO), theIntellectual Property Center has a widea range of responsibilities, including
management and operation of
intellectual property generated by the
University to promoting collaborations
with society based on that intellectual
property. Based on applications forinventions 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 andcontrols those successful patents.
These technology licensing operations
open the door to a wide range of otheractivities, including licensing of Keio
University's patented technologies tocompanies, the creation of newcompanies with foundations in
intellectual property rights, and joint
research with companies aimed atdeveloping products for practicalapplications.

Center for Research Promotion
Promoting Research Collaboration and Transmission to Society
The Center for Research Promotion plays a major role in planning and advancing overall researches based on collaboration between industry,
government, and academia. The CRP manages research fund systems to encourage the use of internal resources in technology and research for societies
and it sponsors symposiums. From the fiscal year 2008, the thoroughly revised fund system will support new projects between industry, government andacademia as a grant system for external collaborative research.
Public symposiums are very important as they serve to introduce the research efforts of Keio University to a wide audience. At the same time, they give
Keio University members an opportunity to meet representatives from industries and governments.

1 Grant System for External Collaborative Research
The new grant system for external collaborative
researches, set up by the CRP in 2008, will promote theuse of Keio University's resources in technology andresearch to form collaborative projects with a broad
range of external organizations (e.g. company, local
government, independent administrative agency,
foundation, other university). The grant system will
support the launch of joint research to tackle importantsocial and technological issues.

Different from preceding systems, the new grant system
will promote joint research through a matching fundarrangement with external collaborative organizations.
A CRP Coordinator will prepare the framework for joint
research, carry out follow-up activities, and actively
participate in project formation. In particular, with anemphasis on innovativeness (e.g. new theme, newcollaboration partner, new research team), project
proposals will be most welcomed from young
researchers. The grant system will be expected tofacilitate new collaborative efforts between industry,
government and academia.

2 Research Presentations on Selected Subjects in 2007 under CRP's Researcher Grant Program
Through combining advanced researches in multiple diverse fields, the purpose of CRP research funds is to
discover themes that integrate different fields and to promote interdisciplinary research.
In 2007, the CRP invited researchers to submit project proposals on "human amenities" as the theme
toward improving the quality of life (e.g. society, the environment, technology, medical care) andsustaining the prosperity and comfort for people. The CRP accepted four proposal applications.
The project period ended in June 2008 with a research presentation workshop in the presence of the CRP
Advisory Board. Even though the research period was only one year, research papers and patentapplications were generatd. The main purpose of the system has thus been achieved. These research
efforts will continue to develop and their results will be used for the benefits of societies.
The researcher grant system has helped to launch projects that may not have been able to secure funding andit has laid the groundwork for future efforts in interdisciplinary researches. The CRP fund systemcompleted its mission in 2007. Its role will be inherited by other funds for the advancement of education andresearch.

3 Cooperation Agreement with Kyoto University and Partnership FundIn September 2007, Keio University and Kyoto University signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement
covering research, education and international exchange.
Under the concept of contributing to people, society and the earth, the agreement deepens cooperation throughan emphasis on joint research in areas of on going achievement (e.g. medicine, life science, economics, andearth science). At the same time, the agreement aims to develop human resources through mutual
exchange between young researchers. Both universities have a self-driven independent spirit. Keio
University focuses on practical science while Kyoto University emphasizes on fundamental researches. The
agreement is expected to generate synergies between contrasting systems (public and private) andcultures (national capital and historic city). Through the sharing of Keio's SOI Asia and Global Studio and Kyoto's
overseas branches, the two universities can establish a network of advanced learning that covers most of Asia.
This network will facilitate researches on Asia and speed up the pace of information exchange.

Signing of Cooperation Agreement

The Keio-Kyoto Education and Research Collaboration Fund is expected to be established in 2008. The fund is managed through donations from industry andexternal organizations that support the research and education activities of both universities. The fruit of fund is applied to collaborative activities of both
universities. The fund is expected to facilitate research and education activities that will benefit society in the future.

4 Transmission of Research Activities to Society
The 4th Keio University Advanced Science and Technology Symposium was held at North Hall, Mita
Campus on February 6, 2008. The theme was "The Future of Interdisciplinary Drug Development Researchthrough the Integration of Basic Medicine and Clinical Medicine."
With a population that is aging faster than other country, the importance of health and medical care in Japan
will increase. At Keio University, the School of Medicine, graduate schools, and nearly all campuses place astrong emphasis on education and research related to life science and medical care. After a merger with
Kyoritsu College of Pharmacy, Keio University established the Faculty of Pharmacy and the Graduate
School of Pharmaeuctical Siences. Based on an integrated research system spanning a wide range of
disciplines (e.g. medicine, pharmacology, scienece and engineering, sociology), the University expects to see
unprecedented research results in the field of life science. Based on this background, the symposium
focused on medical care and life science.

Symposium Lecture

The symposium invited 10 researchers who are active on the frontlines of basic medicine, clinical medicine, and pharmacological studies to give lectures. The talks wereof great interest, covering life science applications, current efforts at the School of Medicine, the insurance system and new technology applications, regenerative medicine,genome science, metabolomics, other advanced research topics, and how to apply them all in the development of new drugs. There was also a special lecture on thepharmaceutical industry today and tomorrow and what to expect from the pharmacy education of industry. Over 200 people attended the event. Outside the lecture hall,
Kyoritsu University of Pharmacy set up an exhibit to introduce its research efforts. This popular exhibit generated a lot of excitement over the new faculty and graduate
school.

Knowledge created at the university is returned to society through thetraditional vehicles of education and academic presentation. In recent
years, universities across Japan have been firmly establishing a thirdvehicle of return, that is, the conversion of research results into
commercial products and technologies.

In an environment of intense global competition, the enterprisedevelopment structure is becoming more selective and focused. At thesame time, the third vehicle of return and the solutions in advanced
research fields that contribute to future commercial applications both fallin synch with industry's expectations towards universities.
To promote industry-academia collaboration and to systematicallydevelop new business opportunities through the creation of intellectual
value, Keio University established the Intellectual Property Center in
1998. This center helps researchers protect their research results as
intellectual property rights. These IP rights, in turn, can be used topromote technology transfer through license approval, joint orcommissioned research, and the establishment of venture business.
As a reflection of high research standards, countless invention
proposals have sprung from the campuses of Keio University. Indeed, over

Academia: Research

Fostering People with “Entrepreneurship”
The Keio Incubation Center (KIC) was established in October 2003
under the Organization for Research Advancement and Administration(ORAA) as part of measures for the execution of "New Business
Leadership," which were outlined in the Keio University 21st Century
Grand Design. "New Business Leadership" includes Keio University's
mission to "Contribute to Japan's growth and to the creation of new
business in the 21st Century by providing practical training, such as
new business education and entrepreneur education, and by starting
venture business and other new business fields.
Since its establishment, Keio University has been giving backknowledge to the community through research and education activities.
"Giving back knowledge to the community" is at the heart of university
activities aimed at fostering people with entrepreneurship and theprocess of creating new business by sublimating the results generated byuniversities into sustainable frameworks in the form of business (theprocess of "Incubation"). These activities should therefore beundertaken as an integrated part of research and education activities,
rather than being separated from them.

1 Activity Policies• The KIC develops frameworks for the continuous creation of new business, targeting support
for the creation of new businesses that are expected to gain financial independence in the
future. This continuous cycle is achieved by having new businesses that have been
established, and which have grown with the university's support, and provide training andsupport for subsequent new businesses.
• The large number of Keio graduates in the industrial world, and the strength of theircentripetal force, is an absolute strength of Keio University. The KIC collaborates with the
Mentor Mita-kai and other organizations to promote new business creation activities throughthe combined efforts of students, teachers and administrators, and graduates. It also strives tocreate an open community that includes cooperating organizations not related to Keio
graduates.

Ideal form of collaboration
between industry and academia

The way in which a university gives back knowledge to the community
should not be limited to the traditional approaches of "Providing
knowledge and manpower." Universities must promote incubation
based on a stance of "Collaborating with industry from the stage ofeducation and research, and taking responsibility even up to thepractical application of the results."
Based on these policies regarding the creation of new business, the
KIC and the each campus works in collaboration with industry from theeducation and research stage through to the point where the results
are returned to the community, with the goal of promoting the creation of
new business and the creation of economic and social value.

demonstrated outstanding results in the promotion of industry. Within Japan as well, thestandards for the implementation of the LLP Law and the LLC law were amended on March 1, 2006,
resulting in increased expectations for the use of LLPs and LLCs in the creation of new
business by venture companies and through industry/academia collaborations. On January 25, 2008,
the KIC hosted an "Incubation Seminar" for both teachers and students entitled "Mechanisms andestablishment of LLP and LLC." There were three invited lecturers at this seminar: Mr.Toru
Uchida, Assistant Director of the Industrial Organization Division, Economic and Industrial
Policy Bureau, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry; Mr.Sadakazu Hashimoto, Chief in the same
Industrial Organization Division; and Mr.Hirokazu Igarashi, President of Five Consulting Ltd.
(2) KEIO INCU-NET gathering
On January 25, 2008, the KIC hosted "KEIO INCU-NET," a gathering of members from inside andoutside the university closely involved in incubation activities, to report on the Center's
activities and exchange opinions on activity plans.

The KIC has begun collaborations with SBI Holdings, Inc. through SOI Asia (School on theInternet Asia), which is operated by Keio University, with the goal of fostering Asian
entrepreneurial spirit and supporting venture companies originating from universities. (Refer to"Topics" (P.13) for details)(2) Handling of equity obtained through the results of incubation
In 2007, the KIC enterd into a new equity contract in which technical know-how derived fromthe results of research at the Keio Research Institute SFC was transferred to a venturecompany that was originated at Keio University, and in which Stock Subscription Warrants
were received as compensation. Using this contract as a test case, the Center investigated thehandling of exercising such Subscription Warrants or selling stocks for venture companies
obtained as a result of incubation activities at Keio University.

The KIC provided support for the Keio Business Contest (KBC) held by a Keio University student
organization in 2007. At the final meeting of judges for The 2nd Keio Business Plan Contest, heldon March 8, 2008, six finalist teams that made it through the first and second screenings out ofmany entries presented business plans to five judges. Once plan was selected as the Most
Outstanding Plan, two were selected as Outstanding Plans, and one received a Special Award.
(2) Fostering Environmental Business through industry/academia collaborations with
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp.
On September 6, 2007, the KIC reached an agreement with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. (SMBC)
regarding operations aimed at fostering environmental business. Through these collaborative
operations, SMBC hosted "Eco Japan Cup 2007," an environmental business contest, incooperation with the Japanese Ministry of the Environment and Environment Business Women(HERB). As part of the plan for calls for entries in this contest, if improvements to business plans(e.g., resolution of technical issues or increased utility) are expected through joint researchwith the university, then an "SMBC Eco - Business Scholarship" will be offered to cover joint
research expenses. In 2007, a research grant of five million yen was provided for joint research
between Keio University and Annex Corp., which won the SMBC Award" in "Eco Japan Cup 2007."

Keio Advanced Research Centers (KARC)
Supporting advanced, interdisciplinary research activities
What is KARC?
In recent years, Keio University has received an increasing number of requests toform new types of research centers (or education and research centers) that merge
and connect a wide range of research fields. In response to these requests,
the Keio Advanced Research Centers (KARC) was established on February 1, 2007.

KARC dynamically sets up research centers and operates and manages theirpersonnel to promote advanced, interdisciplinary research independent of theuniversity's institutional structure.

Unique features of KARC
More than 20 Centers were set up within just one year of KARC'sestablishment. Two of these Centers have already completed their activities.
KARC has several unique functions.
• It forms advanced, strategic research centers at Keio University.
• It proposes and develops new fusion areas not restrained by frameworks ofexisting academic disciplines.
• It constructs organizations that are capable of handling dynamic research
projects.
One of KARC's functions is streamlining the activities of research centers to enable
them to efficiently complete their missions.
KARC has also introduced a unique concept called "Starting Up Center". It is apreparatory center for research groups with clear academic objectives andconcrete plans to use in setting up a more formal research center later. In
2007, four centers were set up under this scheme.

Centers within KARC

C Center (F Campus)(Research Center)

The Aim of KARC
KARC is an interface for a wide range of research centers (or education andresearch centers) that are representative of Keio University. It operates thesecenters in a wide range of formats, including Global Centers of Excellence andcenters funded by Japanese public funds (such as the Special Coordination
Fund for the Promotion of Science and Technology), as well as EU Centers of
Excellence and centers undertaking joint research with private corporations.
Campuses hosting such research centers can be found on virtually all of Keio
University's campuses: Mita, Hiyoshi, Yagami, Shinanomachi, Shonan
Fujisawa, and Shin-Kawasaki.
KARC itself is an aggregation of research centers crossing over existing
disciplines and faculties, conducting advanced research and activities incollaboration with industry, government, and academia. Its aim is to be a truly
advanced entity, utilizing the unique characteristics of the centers' respective
faculties and campuses and merging those characteristics to create newframeworks for and approaches to carrying out research at Keio University.

Graduate School of System Design andManagement (SDM)
The Graduate School of System Design Management fosters
future leaders for a new generation

Nowadays the society is in a transition state to a multi-polar society, with many
elements, such as races, languages, culture, and economic blocs. At the same time,
problems related to energy, food, and the environment are growing increasingly
serious, and we must keep being aware of these problems in the human activities.
It has become important to see society as a large system in which all elements are
becoming increasingly complex from the products and services to social infrastructures. In
order to maintain this advanced and increasingly complex system, there is a strong
demand for people with the ability to deal appropriately with such systems among
various fields in society. The goal of the Graduate School of System Design andManagement is to foster specialists capable of dealing with complex systems by freely
utilizing methods and approaches. Following are the unique features of education at
the Graduate School of System Design and Management.
http://www.sdm.keio.ac.jp/

S3=Symbiosis, Safety and Security

Unique Features of Education

First, the people that the Graduate School of System Design and Management aims to foster are those who havethe ability to deal with a wide range of complex systems ("System of Systems") as illustrated in the figure
above, and to lead in realizing a sustainable society that is symbiotic, safe and secure. Specifically, in addition tocreativity, communication skills, and the ability to discover problems, an emphasis is placed on providing
Systems Designers with engineering skills, and providing Project Leaders with management skills.
The second unique characteristic of this Graduate School is a kind of "melting pot" gathering people withdiverse backgrounds and perspectives. This does not simply mean a merging of technical and non-technicalapproaches, but also a merging of generations and between governmental and industrial worlds. In this way, theSchool will develop the ideal forms of leadership and facilitation in the real world.
The third unique characteristic is a program to produce human resources with the ability to collaborate on a global
scale. In addition to providing a wide range of courses required to cultivate an international perspective, such as
law, economics, business intelligence, and environmental issues, the School will actively promote strong ties withoverseas universities. For example, though a practical design project conducted over one year in collaboration with
the MIT Engineering Systems Division and the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Stanford University, thestudents learn teamwork and solidify their design management skills. This design project, referred to as the "Active
Learning Program Sequence (ALPS)," involves group research that focuses mainly on independent activities by
students.

Research on themes thatemphasize the front lines

Research activities related to the system design and management are based on strong ties with many
companies and organizations promoting research themes targeting the needs of real world on the front lines ofbusiness. Included are such as organizations as Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), Tokyo Gas,
SUMCO, Railway Technical Research Institute, Nikkei Inc.
It is noted that the Global COE Program entitled "Center for Education and Research of Symbiotic, Safe and Secure
System Design" has been approved and funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science andTechnology (MEXT). A new center started in 2008 in cooperation with the Graduate School of Science andTechnology. This will further enhance collaborations with overseas universities providing Ph.D. students with
opportunities for international interactions.

content producers, and advertising. Through testbedding, this project aims for the dynamic development ofmedia that will lead to a creative society based on imagination as the source of value.
Content Strategies
Content is the essence of a creative society and a strategic asset in the 21st century. The question is how to establish
a mechanism to produce, distribute, and use different types of digital intellectual property. What is the best way
to digitally produce the popular culture in which Japan excels (e.g. anime, software games, mobile phones) andtraditional culture? The Content Strategies project aims to explore emerging content, to develop funding
schemes and transaction markets, to revise copyright rules and business platforms, and to prepare a new soft power
policy.
Experience Design
To give priority to the imagination of people in a creative society, we must re-design the environment andartifacts of daily life. The Experience Design project aims to design environments and artifacts for physical and virtual
settings such as homes, schools, hospitals, public areas, and office spaces. The project establishes experiential
design methods, develops and tests physically interactive technologies, and constructs business models.

Case study 2:
Yoshiyasu Takefuji, Professor, Faculty of Environment
and Information Studies: Power-harvesting project
The Takefuji Laboratory is currently working on "power
harvesting" projects that take various forms of energy thathave been wasted in the past and convert them into
electrical power.
There are various ways of harvesting power, such as utilizing
the minute vibrations of sound or the difference between a hightemperature and a low temperature to generate electricity.
One of these is a "power-harvesting mat" that uses thevibrations of people walking to generate electricity. This
would make it possible to turn on an LED device as soon as
someone gets up in the night to go to the bathroom, to light theway to the bathroom, or supply electrical power to an
automatic ticket gate as passengers walk over the mat while
passing through that gate. An experiment designed to test
the commercial viability of this mat in practice is being

The Global COE and 21st Century COE Programs
Under the 21st Century Center of Excellence (COE) program, which is one of the leading sources of competitive research funding in Japan, a total of 12 programs from Keio University
were adopted in 2002 and 2003. These programs produced a succession of achievements, and all of them have ended as of March 2008. These programs have also beendeveloped into global COE programs, either singly or as amalgams of two programs. Three programs were adopted in 2007 and four in 2008, so that seven global COE research andeducation centers have now been set up.
Each of these programs proposes a further development of the research and education centers that were constructed under the 21st Century COE program. In review, they were
evaluated on the basis of the track records of their activities under the 21st Century COE program, their research plans and doctoral programs over the next five years in the light of
those records, and plans to nurture world-class scholars focusing on doctoral programs.
Each research and education center in the global COE program was established within the Keio Advanced Research Centers, which are organized in February 2007 under the leadershipof Yuichiro Anzai, President of Keio University, to ensure mobility without any boundaries imposed by faculties or graduate courses.
These programs are expected to develop world-class research facilities and also establishments that cultivate scholars, while retaining partnerships with existing graduate
schools.

Education and Research Center for Stem Cell Medicine : Hideyuki Okano, Professor, Graduate School of Medicine
There are stem cells in basically all the organs of the living body and they are closely linked to the pathologies and treatments of various illnesses. We are convinced that building a education and researchframework centered on stem cells will enable us to contribute to dramatic improvements in the driving forces of all education and research in the doctoral programs of the Graduate School of Medicine.
In this global COE (GCOE) program, the Education and Research Center for Stem Cell Medicine creates the academic field of Stem Cell Medicine, which is a concept that covers an even wider ranging
area of medicine based on the foundation of the personnel fostering strategies and stem cell medical education and research center that were set up previously by the Basic Study and Clinical Applicationof the Human Stem Cell Biology and Immunology of the 21st Century COE (21COE) program, to cultivate young scientists who are full of focus and independence in education and research. By areorganization of graduate courses in order to develop world-leading human resources, this center hopes to: (1) Create a virtuous cycle of building a series of education and research structures anddeveloping human resources (acquisition of "capacity for self-renewal"); (2) Cultivate versatile personnel (acquisition of "multipotentiality"); and (3) Form partnerships with Lund University, Texas University
MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the University of California, Irvine, to exchange personnel to build an international cooperation framework (acquisition of "migratability").

Center for Education and Research of Symbiotic, Safe and Secure System Design : Takashi Maeno, Professor, Graduate School of System Design and Management
One aspect of the increasing sophistication of science and technology is a specialization and focus on details concerning elemental technology. As technological systems such as electricalgeneration systems, energy systems, transportation mechanisms, and robots become larger in scale and more complex, we are faced with complications and many challenges involving unforeseen accidents
and global environment problems that cannot be handled by specialists and detailists alone. To resolve such problems and design and manage large-scale complicated systems accurately, it is necessary
to study complicated interactions between a variety of values that differ in category and scale, such as safety concerns, global environment problems, and the design objectives of systems and individual
elements, and comprehend them as system relationships. It is also necessary to organize the field of system design engineering that deals with the design of entire systems systematically, and develop
research and education into creative system design on that basis. That is why Keio University has conceived a research and education center for nurturing world-class personnel capable of being leadersin Symbiotic, Safe and Secure System Design globally, based on the world's most advanced system design engineering establishments and international partnership training establishments that havealready been set up.

Raising Market Quality - Integrated Design of Market Infrastructure : Naoyuki Yoshino, Professor, Graduate School of Economics
This global COE establishes a new economic viewpoint for comprehending the marketplace itself from within, and clarifies the dynamism of raising market quality in real-world economics. To that end,
the aggregate of the various elements that surround the marketplace, such as laws, institutions, organizations, cultures, ethics, and customs is called the market infrastructure, and we clarify the dynamic
relationship between market quality and market infrastructure.
The center hopes to advocate new economic policies that integrate theory and empirical results. The following four research groups work closely together to provide research and education, to cultivate
large numbers of young scholars that will shine worldwide. (i) Theory development department: centered on Makoto Yano, who is an advocate of market quality, this department establishes an economic
policy principle called "raising market quality" through coordination of the market infrastructure. (ii) Panel data design and analysis department: centered on Yoshio Higuchi, who has become a leader
in the field of panel data design and analysis in Japan, this department designs and builds new corporate databases aimed at shedding light on the raising of market quality, to create a foundation forrecommending policies that promote positive analysis, linking to budgetary data from 21COE. (iii) Application and positive analysis department: centered on Naoyuki Yoshino, this department strengthens

Designing Governance for Civil Societies : Yoshihisa Hagiwara, Professor, Graduate School of Law
This center performs research and education on governance for civil societies at an international standard, with the objective of educating and cultivating internationally outstanding young
scholars, while forming partnerships with other leading research and education centers around the world. This center analyzes what sort of multi-level effects are created by linkages between political
attitudes and policy making within local governments, national governments, regional organizations, and international society. Today there is growing awareness of the importance of governance throughwhich citizens and policymakers can cooperatively address various problems. However, many issues remain unsolved. First of all, we must establish a clearer definition of governance. It is also necessary
to discover and elucidate the "multi-level structure of governance" within which various factors interact in a complicated manner. Another important challenge is to incorporate current researchaccomplishments into political science education. Ultimately, this center aims to provide a new framework for analyzing democracy.

Global COE for Human Metabolomic Systems Biology
Program Leader: Professor Makoto Suematsu, School of Medicine
http://www.gcoe-metabo.keio.ac.jp/index-e.html
This global COE Program in Life Sciences aims to create a cutting-edge multidisciplinary
research and education center that fosters young investigators who will promote a new field ofMetabolomic Systems Biology: This area is composed of integrative components of life
sciences involving medicine, chemistry, engineering, information technology andpharmacology. We are challenging to focus on regulatory mechanisms for metabolic systems underphysiologic and pathophysiologic conditions. Fiscal 2007 marked the start of the Program, and weengaged in establishing the framework for education and research. Our four mainachievements are as follows.
1. Humanized Animal Engineering Laboratory
The research center for the Humanized Animal Engineering Laboratory (HAL) started up in two
locations: Shinanomachi campus research center and the Central Institute for Experimental
Animals (CIEA), to examine common marmosets and super-immunodeficient mice. HAL isequipped to be a research facility capable of creating mice that express human chromosome, or
those reconstituting human hepatocytes for dissecting mechanisms for regulating metabolism inhuman.
2 Integrative Research Institution with Overseas Partners
In November 2007, 14 members from Keio University (including graduate students andpostdoctoral fellows) participated in a symposium for gas and water biology, held at Nobel
Forum at Karolinska Institutet and the Royal Institute of Technology. We also held meetings withyoung researchers from Cardiovascular Proteomics Center at Boston University to plan solid
collaborations. In July 2008, we will organize Summer School, an educational and research
program spanning 5 weeks, which includes laboratory training and practice on bioimaging andmetabolome analysis.
3. Educational Environment for Fostering Self-Reliant Young Researchers
The cornerstones of this Global COE program, Shinanomachi campus' Center of Integrated
Medical Research and the Tsuruoka Metabolome Campus, form the research park incubation
system that fosters young researchers. It provides limited-time research spaces andexperimental facilities, and allowed the start of R&D of a next-generation bio-imaging system(multi-function confocal laser scanning microscope) for the analysis of brain metabolism andmicrocirculation. Also initiated was a system for gathering and analyzing small number of cells(using FACS and related advanced technology) to create a system for analyzing the metabolism ofstem cells, as well as research for deciphering mechanisms of parasite metabolism.

4. Launching Clinical Bioinformatics Center and Liaison Office for Global
Collaboration
To provide research and education services for young investigators, such as the study ofhuman metabolomic systems biology and ethical education on the use of human biomedical
infomatics, we have expanded the capabilities of the cell and tissue bank located in the Center ofIntegrated Medical Research, and have installed a new center for clinical genomic information in
the New Clinical Research Institute. We expect to manage these facilities with the support of the
Global COE program in the future. We are preparing to establish a Liaison Office forInternational Collaboration for the GCOE in the Center of Integrated Medical Research, which
serves as the main facility for this program. To assign full-time staff, we are now trying tosecure human resources and arrange adequate environments.

Centre for Advanced Research on Logic and Sensibility
Program Leader: Professor Shigeru Watanabe, Graduate School of Human Relations
http://www.carls.keio.ac.jp/
The "Centre for Advanced Research on Logic and Sensibility" began to take shape in July
2007. The program will train a new generation of researchers of logic and sensibility inhuman judgment who are capable of a more integrative approach, ranging from neuralbasis to cultural dependency including developmental changes, roles of linguistic
judgments and philosophical underpinnings. Efforts in the first year were focused on
acquiring research equipment, and we have now assembled functional MRI (fMRI)
machine and equipment for experimenting with marmosets (new world monkeys) andconducting field research. We probably will not see results from this equipment until after
2008, but the program is progressing smoothly according to plan. In 2007, we held 28
international symposiums, sent a total of 21 researchers overseas, and invited 31
researchers from other countries to participate in symposiums in Japan. The KeioCambridge Joint Seminar provided an opportunity for a small number of young
researchers from University of Cambridge and from Keio University to meet anddiscuss these issues, and was held in July with the support of the Global COE (GCOE)
cooperative program at University of Cambridge. Later that fall, GCOE researchers
were invited to deliver lectures through the cooperative program at the University of
Vienna as part of the lecture series on "The Evolution of Social Cognition."

picked up in press releases in June 2008, included the development of the new field ofpharmacological near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) that combines NIRS (optical
topography) for children and pharmacology, and new knowledge obtained even from self
awareness in animals. We have also entered the actual implementation phase of acollaborative study with University of London on brain images of twins. Research
results for 2007 have been compiled in Volume 1 of "CARLS Series of Advanced Study of
Logic and Sensibility."

In February 2008, 12 foreign researchers were invited to participate in a three-day
symposium at Keio University on "Rational Animal, Irrational Humans." Thesymposium brought researchers together from many different fields including
neuroscience, psychology, animal behavior, cultural anthropology, and logic to discuss therationality of human and animal judgments. In meetings held after the symposium, theparticipants bought out many valuable points that should be preserved, and we are now
in the process of publishing the proceedings. The Tokyo International Forum was held asa symposium for a general audience, and Hideaki Sena, popular novelist and speciallyapproved visiting professor at Tohoku University was invited to give a talk entitled"Arguing? Quibbling? or No Room for Quibbling?" The Global COE at Kyoto University also
participated in this symposium. Two of the topics raised in this symposium, that were later

Thanks to extensive involvement of working-level officials and policymakers, research
results have been made available through international academic journals("International Journal of Economic Theory" published by Blackwell and the "Asian
Economic Papers" published by MIT Press), sponsorship of international academic
meetings, and cosponsorship of international conferences with the IMF, the Financial
Services Agency, the European Central Bank, and the Bruegel Research Institute.
This program has so far led to the formation of two research centers, the Panel Data
Design and Analysis Center and the "Quality Theory" Economic Research Center, both ofwhich are actively investigating ways to enhance market quality, as illustrated in the
figure below.

Policymaking analysis

To investigate "qualitative changes" of household budgets, this program collects
cross-sectional micro data from the same Japanese households every year, thenempirically analyzes behavioral changes in those households–changes in labor supply,
housing investment, asset management, and other kind relevant behavior–over time. Keio
University was the first university in Japan to undertake a research project to design andanalyze this kind of panel data in a systematic way. We have also entered into a
number of collaborative household panel survey projects with Princeton University,
Erasmus University in Rotterdam, and other universities around the world (Yoshio
Higuchi Group). The project is also examining qualitative changes in the behavior of banksfrom theoretical and empirical perspectives, and is conducting a factor analysis of the
behavioral changes of companies and households that occurred during the lost 15period since the 1990s. In the past, the policy recommendations of international
institutions such as the IMF and World Bank for different countries were notnecessarily made from the standpoint of improving the quality of those country's
markets. In collaborations between Economics/Business Commerce 21COE Program
and the UN (ESCAP), we have offered economic policy recommendations to many
countries across the Asia-Pacific region including Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, andMongolia with suggestions on how to allocate infrastructure funding (revenue bonds) so
as to improve the quality of public policies. We have been actively involved inresearch and researcher exchanges with institutions around the world including
Columbia University, the Brookings Institute, the University of Hawaii, and the State
University of New York in the US; the Bruegel Research Institute in Brussels, the Paris
Institute of Political Studies, the University of Gothenburg (Sweden) in Europe; andRenmin University of China, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Thammasat
University in Thailand, the Central Bank of Indonesia, the Malaysian Rating
Corporation Berhad, the Korea Institute of Economic Policy, and the University of thePhilippines in the Asia-Pacific region. The concept of "market quality" was first
proposed by Makoto Yano in his book "Applied Micro Economics" (Iwanami Shoten), andprovides the theoretical underpinnings for much of this research.
And for exchanging information domestically and around the world, Professor Naoyuki
Yoshino has been instrumental in organizing an extensive international network
including the UN (ESCAP), ASEAN, and key policy-making institutions throughout Asia thathas facilitated numerous international joint research and joint project collaborations.

21st Century COE Program [Social Science] FY2003

Designing toward the Ordering of Political Society in a Multi-cultural and Pluri-generational World
Program Leader: Professor Yoshiaki Kobayashi, Graduate School of Law
http://www.coe-ccc.keio.ac.jp/en/
The goal of the 21st-Century COE "The Center for Civil Society with Comparative Perspective" (the21COE-CCC) is to "pursue the ordered establishment of a multi-cultural and pluri-generational
political society." It focuses on research on public opinion and attitudes in a multicultural
world, expanding networks in Japan as well as Europe and other parts of Asia, and conducting
ambitious research activities aimed at establishing an international research center.
Promotion of International Collaborations
In 2007, the 21COE-CCC newly established the following international collaborations topromote joint research programs with overseas research institutes, particularly in Korea.
•Academic exchange agreements were signed with the Local Government Research Institute atDongeui University (October 16, 2007), and with the Social Sciences Research Institute of Inha
University, both in Korea.
•We have strengthened collaborative ties with other domestic and foreign research
institutes, including Inha University and the National Youth Policy Institute in Korea and anumber of Australian academic groups. Upon the request of these same institutions, we
jointly organized many sessions at the 5th International Symposium.
•In order to further strengthen collaborations with researchers outside of Japan, researchcooperation relationships were established with research institutes and universities insideand outside of Japan conducting research on civil society (currently 61 researchers at 46
universities).
The fact that the 21COE-CCC has been selected as a partner by so many research institutes inJapan and around the world demonstrates that it is globally recognized as an outstanding
center for research in civil society.
International Activities
Through the international collaboration outlined above, the 21COE-CCC has undertaken thefollowing international activities to disseminate research results to the world at large, and to build
broad networks of researchers.

•The 5th International Symposium was held in November, with 119 invited speakers. There werea total of 80 research reports in 27 sessions, which were attended by 1,071 participants from Japanand around the world.
•Based on academic exchange agreements signed so far, international symposiums havebeen held three times in collaboration with three Korean universities: Yonsei University, Inha
University, and Dongseo University (Keio University Mita Campus, Tokyo, on June 16; Inha
University, Incheon, December 12-13; and Dongseo University, Pusan, February 11). These
discussions and mutual exchanges of researchers and students between Japanese and Korean
programs were the foundation for groundbreaking project in terms of deepening mutual
insights, and a total of 22 research reports were presented.
•Volumes 8 & 9 of the European refereed "Journal of Political Science and Sociology" were
published to provide a venue for international debate on civil society research (available in thelibraries of 60 major overseas universities)
Up to now, the results of joint research activities between the 21COE-CCC and research
partners inside and outside of Japan have been published in a total of 44 volumes in a series
entitled "21COE-CCC." This series has been covered in numerous newspaper reviews, andthree of these volumes have already been translated into other languages, prompting a
positive response that has transcended national borders.

Policy Innovation Initiative: Human Security Research in Japan and Asia
Program Leader: Professor Jiro Kokuryo, Graduate School of Media and Governancehttp://coe21-policy.sfc.keio.ac.jp/en/index.html
This research deals with integrated policy management (sougou seisakugaku)
employing practical learning to identify and solve real public issues, and address
practical tasks to achieve "human security research in three areas: (1) platformbuilding to promote "practical knowledge" learning (2) internationalization, and (3)training and education of young researchers. Our research activities this past year
have continued to focus on platform-building and implementing a network that links
collaborative institutions in Japan and abroad. Besides the full-scale launch ofactivities by the "Community Collaboration Laboratory" that was started last year, twoother new SFC laboratories were organized: the "Asian Laboratory" and the "From
SFC: Web-based Social Survey Report Laboratory." This past year, 27 working papers were
published, thus bringing the total to 150 papers. In addition five volumes were added tothe "Integrated Policy Management Series" in March 2008. In December 2007, we
assembled an editorial team consisting of 8 editorial advisors from outside the SFC, 6
editorial board members from within SFC, and 10 editorial board members fromoutside SFC, and launched a new integrated policy management journal titled "Keio SFC
Journal: Special Issue on Policy Management." Committed to train a new generation ofyoung researchers, two COE Research Assistants received their doctorates this past year.
This brought the total number of young researchers who have obtained doctorates in thisCOE program to nine. In terms of education, special emphasis placed on international
development of integrated policy management. Two new courses have been added to thecurricula of the International Advanced Degrees Program in the Graduate School ofMedia and Governance: "Policy Management I" focusing on development and humansecurity, and "Policy Management II" highlighting policy formation and social
innovations. Both courses are offered online so they can be taken anywhere in Japan orelsewhere with Internet access, thus contributing to internationalization of theintegrated policy management. To promote networking among young researchersinterested in domestic policy issues, we hosted teleconferencing research seminars anddiscussions among young researchers at Japanese universities that have policy
management departments (Ritsumeikan, Kwansei Gakuin, Doshisha, Chuo, andNanzan Universities).
One major achievement has been the development of a collaborative model uniting
universities, government, NGOs, and other stakeholders in a number of key projects
including a regional project in Thailand to combat high-level infectious diseases(Chiangmai, San Kamphaeng, and San Patong), and a CDM forest project in China(Shenyang, Liaoning Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region). We have also
implemented a remote learning network that links five sites: Beijing, Taipei, Seoul,
Tokyo, and Fujisawa. On the domestic front, we have made excellent progress on anumber of joint projects with Research Satellites including an experimental crosscultural education and learning project, a collaborative project to convert vacant
stores into salons for the elderly, a joint project with intermediate support NPOs torevitalize local community, a project to train community-based entrepreneurs using
information technologies. Through these and other projects, we learned valuablelessons including the fundamental importance of multi-stakeholder involvement and how
best to plan projects based on the collaborative model with the university assuming therole of intermediate support organization. We have also moved from the development
stage to practical implementation stage of a powerful system for analyzing vast
amounts of textual content on the Internet. This will permit real-time decoding ofother peoples' semantic worlds as never possible in the past which will enhance ourcapability to detect and solve real life problems.
On January 26, 2008, we hosted a symposium on "Policy Innovation Initiatives andPractices in Japan and Asia" to make some of our practical real-world achievements
known to a wider audience, and also to reinforce the integrated policy management
network. The content of thesymposium was made available
to the public in the form of
streaming video on our website
and also in the form of
published working papers.

Establishment of Individualized Cancer Therapy based on Comprehensive Development of Minimally Invasive
and Innovative Therapeutic Methods
Program Leader: Professor Yutaka Kawakami, Graduate School of Medicine
http://www.coe-cancer.keio.ac.jp
Fiscal 2007 marked the end of this 21st Century COE program in the Medical
Sciences. By building on the research results of the previous stage, we advanced
translational research with a focus on the development of new, minimally-invasive
therapies. The projects are centered on four areas: 1) individualized medication based on
characteristics of both cancer cells and patients, 2) development of diagnostic andtherapeutic methods targeting sentinel lymph nodes, 3) development of highperformance master-slave manipulators and tactile sensing technology in robotic
surgery, and 4) development of minimally invasive therapy focusing on
immunotherapy and cryoablation. As a result, we have been able to obtain resultsthat are implementable in the near future as standard medicine. These results include
individualized medication that reduces side-effects from anti-cancer drugs,
individualized therapies based on cancer drug sensitivity tests, individualized
minimally-invasive surgeries based on sentinel lymph node diagnosis, thedevelopment of master-slave all-in-one clamps and tactile-sensing clamps forminimally-invasive surgeries, cryoablation, and immunotherapies. We have also madenumerous achievements in basic research; these seeds are expected to bear fruit forclinical applications in the future. At the international symposium "Individualized
Cancer Therapy Based on Development of Minimally Invasive and Innovative
Therapeutic Methods," held in October 2007, during which the 5-year progress report ofthis research center was also given, a member of the foreign external evaluationcommittee commented: "I was extremely impressed with the overall quality of the
program. I was equally impressed with the tight linkage between the laboratory and theclinics, and by their translational philosophy. The COE program leadership
understands the importance of training the future generation of investigators. All of theseimportant components of education appear to be nicely emphasized in this COE." This
demonstrates that the results of this COE program, which sought to create a world-classresearch center capable of performing university-based translational research and to foster
next-generation cancer researchers and oncologists, was able to draw high praiseinternationally. At the Graduate School of Medicine, we are already building aframework that will further develop the translational cancer research and education
system realized by this COE program.

Basic Study and Clinical Application of the Human Stem Cell Biology and Immunology:
Approaches Based on the Development of Experimental Animal Models
Program Leader: Professor Hideyuki Okano, Graduate School of Medicine
http://www.coe-stemcell.keio.ac.jp/
Fiscal 2007 was the last year of this 21st Century COE Program. A comprehensive
survey of the five-year period was held as an international symposium in November. Many
participants came from Lund University and Karolinska Institute of Sweden, partners of
Keio University. By having exchanges among young researchers, promoting mutual
visits, and building a system of joint research, we were able to make major advances in
research and produce results.
On the research front, we are planning to start stem cells-based clinical research. This
research was based on this COE's research results on stem-cell therapy on the basic levelend, which confirmed its safety and effectiveness.
The joint research team assembled by this 21st COE Program, "Basic Study andClinical Application of the Human Stem Cell Biology and Immunology," has published inprominent journals on the following topics in the field of stem cells and cellregeneration: elucidation of hematopoietic stem cell niches (Cell ), elucidation ofcontrol mechanism of hematopoietic stem cells by radical oxygen (Nature ),establishment of complete purification technique of hematopoietic stem cells(Immunity ), development of myocardial induction of embryonic stem cells (Nature
Biotech ), identification of factors activating adult neuronal stem cells (PNAS ),elucidation of adult neuron migration (Science), induction of regeneration of damaged
spinal cord by semaphoring 3A inhibitor (Nat. Med ), elucidation of new role ofreactive astroglia in injury to CNS (Nat. Med), and identification of human utero-stem cells(PNAS ). Recently, we have achieved success by pioneering experimental treatment of
spinal cord injuries in mice using iPS cells (article submitted). In the field of
immunology, we have published world-class findings, such as the elucidation of the roleof immune response in dendritic cells (Nat Immunol ) and the analysis of pemphigus
antigens (J. Clin Invest, New Eng J Med ).

We wish to thank everyone who assisted and provided guidance for this COE program forthe past five years. We also ask for your continued support for even greater advances in
the future.
From here on, while making maximal use of the human development strategy andresearch capital created by this 21st Century COE Program, we seek to create theacademic field of "stem cell medicine," a concept that embraces even wider academic
boundaries. The Global COE Program"Education and Research Center for Stem Cell
Medicine," selected in FY 2008, will pushforward the formation of a research center thatwill serve as the nucleus of an international
stem cell research network, as well as foster
researchers and physicians in this field.

Integrative Mathematical Sciences: Progress in Mathematics Motivated by Natural and Social Phenomena
Program Leader: Professor Yoshiaki Maeda, Graduate School of Science and Technology
http://coe.math.keio.ac.jp/
The 21st COE Program "Progress in Mathematics Motivated by Natural and Social
Phenomena" ended in FY2007. During the five years of the program, we sought tocreate new, unique fields of study in mathematics with "noncommutativity" and "datascience." Through our research activities, we are proud that we have created aninternationally-recognized research and education center in mathematics. Our
activities have also led Keio University to grant charter to the Center for Integrative
Mathematics. We aim to further develop the center as a place where we can continue tocarry out the fostering of Keio researchers in math and the integration of different
fields to educate a new generation of researchers and serve as a hub for international
collaboration.
This COE program especially placed heavy emphasis on international research andeducation, and we created overseas bases. In FY2007, we invited over 80 prominent
overseas researchers for the "Pathway Lecture Series in Mathematics." We also wereactive in guidance of students and in joint research. With the University of Warwick in
England as our central partner, we carried out the UK-Japan Winter School, a UKJapan mutual education program for young researchers, in January 2008 at the
University of Warwick, with the theme "Algebra and Sympletic Geometry."
This 21st Century COE Program advanced numerous international collaborations. For
comprehensive research and education partnerships in mathematical science, we
worked with universities including the University of Warwick, École Polytechnique,
Boston University, the University of California at Berkeley, Yale University, and Yonsei
University. With Yonsei University, we invited students and faculty and held an
exchange workshop. We plan to continue this activity regularly in the future.

the next generation of young researchers, we have made ties with the RomanianAcademy, the Vietnam Academe of Science & Technology, and Universidad de losAndes. Our program invites outstanding students in these regions to the COE program andeducates them to become researchers. Among the invited young researchers, a great
number return to their countries and obtain research positions. Also, the COE program has
accepted numerous foreign young researchers from overseas research promotion
organizations and summer programs. These researchers have become repeat visitors, andvisit the center regularly. The center has also sponsored many international
conferences. Examples include the Noncommutative Geometry and Physics workshop andthe Tsunami Symposium and Cherry Bud Workshop, focused on natural phenomena.
Proceedings of these conferences were published by World Scientific Publishing.
Every year, we have a mutual exchange with three faculty members from Osaka
University. We are creating ties in mathematical research and education to open
doors between Osaka area and Tokyo area.

For international partnerships by different fields of research, we worked with

* Replaced the late Professor Kazuo Yoshida, Graduate School of Science and Technology

Program Leader: Professor Takashi Maeno, Graduate School of Science and Technology
http://www.coesys.keio.ac.jp/English/index.html
Fiscal 2007 was the last year of the 21st Century COE Program. We focused on welldefined topics in system life research while promoting close collaboration among COE
members and actively pursuing exchange with research institutes overseas. We have also
held discussions that publicized and summarized the concepts of this center. These efforts
have led to the following achievements:
First, the Shift to Life Architectural Design Group, which elucidates shift to life design
methods as well as transmits findings in an easy-to-understand manner, hasestablished system life architectural and design methods and published summaries inclear Japanese and English. The publication in English is entitled "System Design:
Paradigm Shift from Intelligence to Life" (Corona Publishing Co., Ltd., March 2008).
Two groups created to realize concrete product innovations were able to achieve
results in shift to life research. For human-scale product innovations, we established basic
technologies in shift to life by focusing on guide robots. Specifically, we were able toaccomplish results in methods of hierarchical movement control methods forautonomously mobile robots that take into account movements on a time scale, inworking out methods for incorporating notices when robots and humans
communicate, and developing cooperating mechanisms between subordinate andsuperior control systems based on tactile perception. For micro-scale productinnovations, we developed robust indoor environmental control methods using
embedded learning functions, robust functional inspection of architectural designs
using passive/active integrated environmental adjustment methods, and feature
analysis of architectural design based on multi-space design models. With these
innovations, we were able to suggest environmentally-robust life-design architectural
systems as products.
For human resource programs to nurture young researchers, we implemented
employment programs for research assistants and postdoctoral researchers, as well as
an international internship program. This year, 22 RAs and 4 PDs were selected in thespring semester, and 23 RAs and 5 PDs in the fall semester.
For the international internship program, we dispatched one RA to the Hong Kong
Polytechnic University (China) for a long-term internship, and four RAs to Xi'an
Jiaotong University (China), the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (U.S.), APUR-Atelier
Parisien d'Urbanisme (France), and the University of Trento (Italy) for short-term
internships. These internships contributed to the furthering of academic exchange.
Furthermore, the Leading-edge Design School carried out a variety of programs,
including internship exchange with overseas lecturers. These programs deepened
discussion among professors and showed commitment to the education of RAs and PDs.
For each of the following three courses, Product & System Design, Architecture
System Design, and Space System Design, the lecture-based "Design Intensive class" andthe practicum-based "Design Project" class were held. As a result, we produced agreat number of students who understood the important of biologically-inspired
design techniques. Please note that the outstanding group education techniques
fostered by and international lectures held by this Leading-edge Design School weretransferred to the newly established Graduate School of System Design And
Management in FY2008.
The 21st COE center also invited professor Deo Prasad (University of New South
Wales) and professor Kosuke Ishii (Stanford University) for the international System Lifesymposium to actively carry out international collaboration and mutual understanding.
From the above activities and achievements, we brought to fruition the vision of the late
Dr. Kazuo Yoshida, who conceived this COE program, for the COE center to be a global
research center. Building on this center's achievements, we seek to further deepen
the fostering of young researchers at a top, international level with the Global COE
Program "Center for Education and Research of Symbiotic, Safe and Secure System
Design," inaugurated in FY2008.

Competitive Research Funds

In FY 2007, eight government ministries and 37 systems distributed 476.6 billion Japanese yen as competitive research funds from the science and technology budget.
This represented 13.6% of the total science and technology budget. The government's budget for science and technology is increasing. The 3rd Science and Technology
Basic Plan (FY 2006 to FY 2010) specifies that strategic funds will be given to organizations aiming to become world-class research centers under the principle ofcompetition. Under this policy, competition for research funds among universities is growing more intense every year.
One common source of competitive research funds is the MEXT Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (Kakenhi ). The budget for FY 2007 was 191.3 billion yen (increaseof 1.8 billion / 0.9% from the previous year). Other sources of funds are the Basic Research Programs (Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)), the Health andLabour Sciences Research Grants (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare), and the Special Coordination Fund for the Promotion of Science and Technology (Ministryof Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and JST).
Below is a summary of these three competitive research funds of MEXT (the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, the Basic Research Programs, and theSpecial Coordination Fund for the Promotion of Science and Technology) and a partial look at Keio University's achievements in receiving funds.

1 Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (Kakenhi )Kakenhi ranges from humanities and social sciences to the natural sciences. Grant money is given to various types of scientific research from basic to applied-based on the free-thinkingof researchers-to stimulate remarkable advances. After undergoing peer review, the researcher receives grant money to conduct research on his original, path-breaking area of study.
These funds accommodate a great variety of projects from budding to path-breaking. Over the years, the research achievements based on this grant money have received world-wide
recognition and commendations including as Nobel prizes. Kakenhi represents approximately 5% of the government's total expenses related to science and technology and 40% of
the government's total budget for competitive research funds.
The number of applications submitted in FY 2007 was 121,219 (1,213 less than FY 2006). From this total, 49,425 proposals qualified for research funding (1,942 more than FY 2006).
The table shows the number of projects of the top 20 institutions receiving grant money from FY 2005 to FY 2007 (new and those continuing from the previous year) and the total amount
distributed.
The amount received by the top 10 institutions represents 48% of the total amount distributed. Keio University ranks 13th overall and 1st among private institutions.

2 Basic Research Programs
Based on creating new technologies and meeting the needs of society, the economy, andJapan's science and technology policy, Basic Research Programs promote
fundamental target-oriented studies for the achievement of strategic objectives
designated by the government. Specific areas of research have been established by theJapan Science and Technology Agency (JST) based on the strategic objectives of the
Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). The JST
issues calls for research proposals in these areas and nominates the most appropriate
researchers to undertake the work.
The program promotes open-type research and supervised-type research.
In the open type, based on a set area of research, a research director selects
individuals to work on a theme through a call for proposals. Open research has two types:

CREST (Core Research for Evolutional Science and Technology) in which a team isformed and PRESTO (Precursory Research for Embyonic Science and Technology) in
which individuals conduct path-breaking research.
In the supervised type (also called Exploratory Research for Advanced Technology or
ERATO), researchers are brought together to advance research based on researcher
targets from the unique perspective of directors. This type includes joint researchwith overseas research organizations.
*Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST): From the Basic Research Programs website
http://www.jst.go.jp/kisoken/*The list below shows research themes from FY 2007.
*Solution-Oriented Research for Science and Technology (SORST) refers to the continuation of a projectthat has completed its initial period of examination under the Basic Research Programs. The project is
continued because it has great potential for future benefits.

This section presents data from FY 2007 on researchers involved in research and education at Keio University (professors, associate professors, assistantprofessors 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.

1 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 research funds allocated from outside Keio University as a condition of appointment.
"Researchers" in the following data only include researchers in the University (Professors, Associate Professors, Assistant Professors and Instructors) and excludes teachers at affiliatedelementary and secondary schools of Keio University. The number of the non-tenured researchers (that is, the total number of researchers with fixed period contracts and special researchprofessors) accounts for 26% overall, but is a striking 51% at Shonan Fujisawa Campus.
