In January 2020, Okayama University and the United Nations Conference on Trade andDevelopment (UNCTAD) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to foster humanresources for the framework of “science, technology, and innovation for sustainable development
goals” (STI for SDGs). This is the world’s first MoU signed between the UN body and a university.
Based on this MoU, with a view to contributing to the STI for SDGs promoted by the UNCTAD,
Okayama University will provide two human resource development programs: a short-term program(joint research/training courses for young female scientists from developing countries) and a longterm program (PhD program for young scientists from developing countries) . The University will
use the conclusion of the MoU as an opportunity to further its efforts for human resource
development for STI for SDGs and spread them to the world while disseminating related information
at home and abroad, in cooperation with the UNCTAD, one of the main UN organs implementing
the framework.

SDGs learning
As part of SDGs education it has promoted, Okayama University started in FY2019 the guidancecourse “Introduction to Okayama University x SDGs” designed for all new students. Introducing
what SDGs are and SDGs-related initiatives the University has conducted to date, the course is
expected to provide new students with a hint for starting “their own effort towards SDGs” bytranslating their learning into practice.
In addition, the University newly established a system to assign individuals or organizations
supporting SDGs promotion activities as Okayama University SDGs Ambassadors. There have so
far been 133 SDGs Ambassadors under this system. Furthering this SDGs Ambassadors initiative
will hopefully help the University’s SDGs promotion efforts gain further momentum.
