Tohoku University, formerly known as Tohoku
Imperial University, was founded in 1907. Unlike otherimperial universities of that time, it initiated an “OpenDoor” policy, accepting graduates from both technicaland regular high schools. In 1913, it went a step further
and, despite opposition from the government, became
Japan’s first university to admit female students.
At the time of its founding, Tohoku University wasable to attract young and brilliant researchers from aroundthe world to serve as faculty members. A “Research First”
principle was thus established, calling on scholars to not
only pursue highly productive research, but to also put
their findings to work in the teaching of their students.
Over the years, Tohoku University developed a proud
tradition of “Practice-oriented Research and Education,”in which the results of cutting-edge research are put touse for the good of society and the improvement of living
standards. Achievements include the establishment oflocal venture businesses which have contributed toregional industry, and the recognition of the university
as the nation’s center for research on family law.
In 2011, Tohoku University was severely damaged ｂｙ
the Great East Japan Earthquake. In addition to focusing
on its own recovery, the university also responded to thedisaster by providing expertise and support to the region
through numerous reconstruction efforts. More than adecade on, the university remains committed to its role in
the recovery and reconstruction process.

Introduction■Mission Statement
Since 1907, Tohoku University has embraced its role as one of Japan’s leading institutions, developing
future leaders through academic excellence and inspiring, innovative research. The three basic tenets of
Research First, Open Doors and Practice-oriented Research and Education have defined us for over a
century and continue to lead the way forward.
For 2023/24, Tohoku University will focus on the following goals:
1. Cultivation of leadership talent
For undergraduate education, we aim to develop talented students into learned and well-rounded
individuals, who can look at events that happen in society and nature with a “scientific mind.” We encourage
leaders who are intellectually motivated and who can approach multiple fields with a global perspective.
For our postgraduate education, we wish to nurture professionals who have advanced specialized
knowledge. These innovative researchers can comprehend world-class research, apply their own creative
insights and bring about new developments in their fields.
2. A university centered on ground-breaking research
We aim to consistently produce high-quality research across a broad spectrum of fields, not just in thenatural sciences, but also in the social sciences and humanities. We will create and develop educational
programs that respond to a rapidly changing knowledge-based society, and host international forums toencourage the exchange of ideas.
We will reinforce our reputation as an international research base through establishing close ties andcollaborations with local and foreign research networks. And we will continue to develop our four campuses
as places that enable students to combine the pursuit of innovation with the responsibilities of leadership.
3. Being a global university that leads
We will rise to meet global challenges and seek to make a difference wherever we can. We value
diversity and welcome talented students, instructors and researchers from all walks of life who are united
in their desire to make the world better. To that end, we will continue to promote greater collaboration
between our university and industry, to ensure that our research results make a positive impact in ourcommunities and around the world.

■ Message from the President
Introduction
Tohoku University was founded in 1907 and is well known for its guiding
principles of putting research first, having an open-door policy and committing topractice-oriented research and education.
Despite being Japan’s third national university, Tohoku University has been
first in many ways that matter. We were the first university in the country to
accept women and one of the first to welcome international students.
These days, Tohoku University is a vibrant academic community, home
to 18,000 students across 10 faculties, 15 graduate schools and six research
institutes. About 10 percent of our students come from abroad, contributing to
one of the most cosmopolitan academic environments in Japan.
Our diverse student population and research achievements, coupled with
our wide network of collaborative partners, have earned us recognition from the Japanese government. In
June 2017, we were among the first three institutions to be awarded the status of a Designated National
University and we are currently the only remaining candidate for the “University for International Research
Excellence” government project, which aims to boost research activities at Japanese universities.
And in March 2023 - for the fourth year in a row - Times Higher Education ranked Tohoku University
number one on its annual list of Japanese universities, highlighting our learning environment, international
outlook, and research inﬂuence.
Open Doors: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
This year, we celebrate the 110th anniversary of our first female students. On August 21, 1913,
the official gazette announced the admission of three female students to Tohoku Imperial University, theprecursor to Tohoku University. That moment broke the gender barrier in Japanese higher education,
marking the first time in the country’s history, that female students were accepted into a national university.
Those three extraordinary women - Chika Kuroda, Ume Tange and Raku Makita - were not only
trailblazers as students, but also in their successful post-graduation careers.
Another pioneering alumnus was writer Lu Xun, a leading figure of modern Chinese literature. He wasa student at the Sendai Medical College, which later became the School of Medicine. His experiences in
Sendai are immortalized in a famous collection of short stories, many of which revolve around his professor
Genkuro Fujino, who provided support and care during a time when international students were a rarity inJapan.
For over a century, our unwavering “Open Doors” policy has welcomed talented individuals, irrespectiveof gender, ethnicity, nationality, or economic background.
In April last year, the university unveiled the “Tohoku University Diversity, Equity and Inclusion （DEI）
Promotion Declaration,” renewing our commitment to create an environment where all voices are heard andrespected.
Practice-oriented Research and Education: Creating New Social Values
Tohoku University has always been committed to fostering a culture of practice-oriented research andeducation, with the ultimate aim of positively impacting our communities.
To that end, we have used our research success to address a wide range of challenges. These
include building resilience in the aftermath of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, andestablishing a Green Goals Initiative to promote future sustainability.
For over a decade, Tohoku University has been a global leader in the development of disaster scienceand risk mitigation strategies through our International Research Institute of Disaster Science （IRIDeS）.
For example, we are proud to have developed RTi-cast, a system adopted by the Japanese government thatprovides real-time data on tsunami inundation and damage estimation using our supercomputer.
At the 3rd World Bosai Forum held in Sendai earlier this year, we submitted recommendations to theUnited Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction （UNDRR） on ways to increase global resilience. These
recommendations will contribute to the Midterm Review of the Implementation of the Sendai Framework for
Disaster Risk Reduction.
An integral part of building resilience is also improving healthcare. And at the Tohoku Medical Megabank
Organization, which houses Japan’s largest population biobank, we are working on developing personalized
medicine research that will significantly enhance healthcare across the country.

Introduction

Currently, we are building a 40,000m2 Science Park on the new extension of Aobayama campus. Uponcompletion, it will serve as a hub for advanced science and technology research and development, and is
expected to draw investments from private companies and industry.
Together with NanoTerasu, the next generation synchrotron radiation facility due to begin operationsin 2024, the Science Park is set to become one of Japan’s premier research complexes for developmentsin public-private partnerships.
Research First: Towards a New Model for the University, Becoming a Platform for Value Creation
We envision a future where Tohoku University will pursue excellence in research and education on ascale greater than ever before. Going beyond the framework of conventional institutions of higher education,
we hope to evolve into a modern platform that creates value through engagement and co-creation withsociety.
Tohoku University aims to establish a new research ecosystem that will further provide the means for
positive change in the world. We are dedicated to fostering an open environment that welcomes diverse
talents, promotes internationalism, and develops a research support system that will enable researchers,
especially those in the early stages of their careers, to make rapid progress.
We are strategically working on increasing and enhancing engagement, including the creation ofstartups, facilitating funding ﬂow, nurturing talented individuals capable of creating social values throughresearch and co-creation, promoting entrepreneurship, and implementing management reforms to support
these initiatives.
Conclusion
In the following pages of this Fact Book, you will find detailed information about Tohoku University’s
academic activities, research and community engagements. I would also recommend our official website（https://www.tohoku.ac.jp/en/） as a resource for the latest news on the university’s activities.
Tohoku University’s enduring relationships with its community, partner organizations, local and national
governments, and alumni around the world, are big reasons for our success these last 116 years.
Thank you all very much, and I look forward to your continued support.
Hideo Ohno
President, Tohoku University

AEARU was established in 1996 with the goals of forming a forum for the presidentsof leading research-oriented universities and carrying out mutual exchanges between
the major universities in East Asia.
Expectations are that this regional consortium, on the basis of common academic
and cultural backgrounds among member universities, will contribute not only to thedevelopment of higher education and research but also to the opening up of a new
era leading to cultural, economic, and social progress in the region.
APRU was established in 1997 with the aim of fostering cooperation in education
and research contributing to economic, scientific and cultural advancement and has
grown rapidly to become a reputable international organization of leading research
universities in the Pacific Rim.
As the "Voice of Knowledge and Innovation" for the Asia-Pacific region, APRU brings
together leaders, researchers, and policy-makers to exchange ideas and collaborate
on effective solutions to the challenges of the 21st century.
As part of Tohoku University’s active participation, we have served as the regional
program hub for APRU’s Multi-Hazards Program since 2013.
HeKKSaGOn, a German-Japanese University Network founded in 2010, is a bilateral
university network composed of three Japanese and three German research-intensive
universities （Kyoto, Osaka, Tohoku; Göttingen, Heidelberg and Karlsruhe） that aims
to further develop international cooperation and the exchange of ideas in education,
research and innovation to further advance science, technology, industry and culture
between member universities. It brings together two of the world's high-tech countries
facing similar challenges in society such as global change and adaptation.

The MIRAI project was initiated to connect Swedish and Japanese universities
through research, education, innovation, and a desire to foster the next generationof researchers and students. In MIRAI 2.0, the project’s second phase whichbegan in 2020, member universities aim to collaborate in the fields of Materials
Science, Sustainability, Ageing, Artificial Intelligence （AI） and Innovation and
Entrepreneurship, and will strive to meet the expectations that today’s society holds
for research universities.

RENKEI, the Japan-UK Research and Education Network for Knowledge Economy
Initiatives, is a bilateral consortium that was formed in 2012 by leading universities
from Japan and the UK under the support of the British Council. Its aim is to further
knowledge exchange and research collaboration between institutions and individuals.
This group of leading research-intensive universities in the two countries will also
develop collaborations with industry, governments and society to address global
research challenges. The four participating Japanese universities are Osaka, Kyushu,
Tohoku and Ritsumeikan. From the United Kingdom, the six members are Edinburgh,Southampton, Newcastle, Leeds, Liverpool and Durham.

■ Sendai City
ProﬁleSendai is a city of charming contrasts, where tradition meets modernity,
and tranquil nature and busy urban life exist side by side. The stunning modern
architecture is complemented by an abundance of natural wonders, and thearrays of zelkova trees which line the streets and avenues have led to Sendai
becoming known as “Mori no Miyako”-the City of Trees. Sendai is also known
as a “City of Academia,” as it boasts a great number of universities andcolleges relative to its size.
The history and tradition of the city date to its founding in 1600 by famous
feudal lord Masamune Date, and over the centuries it has prospered to become
the economic and political center of Tohoku, the northeastern region of Japan. Sendai has a population of overone million people, who are rightly proud of the cityʼs history, arts and culture, and they welcome visitors to join incelebrations such as the annual Tanabata Festival and Jozenji Street Jazz Festival.
Away from the bustling center, the wondrous nature and peaceful environs of coastal Matsushima, the mysticalvolcanic crater of Zao and the bountiful hot springs have enchanted locals and visitors alike for generations.
