Organization for the Promotion of International Collaboration

The Institute for International Relations was established in 2009 as an organization consisting of two centers and one office (Center for International Education, Asia-Africa Center, and Office for Educational Planning And Research), and since then, over the past 14 years, it has developed various ambitious initiatives such as organizational efforts in response to the national plan for 300,000 international students, international cooperation focused on the countries where the center is located, and cooperation with Asia through Japanese language programs. Since then, over the past 14 years, the Center has developed a variety of ambitious initiatives, including organizational efforts in response to the government’s 300,000 international student plan, international collaboration focused on the countries where the Center is located, the establishment of an employment support system for international students centered on the Employment Promotion Program for International Students (MEXT), and collaboration with Asian countries through the Japanese language education program.

In order to further strengthen our efforts to date, with a view to the future of a globalized society, we have recently decided to move to a new organizational structure on April 1, 2024, under the banner of “All-International Relations Institute for International Relations,” in which faculty and staff will work as one team to promote International Relations projects, while also applying our ingenuity and creativity to enhance online content, online exchange programs, joint research, and other activities. The new organizational structure is designed to promote international collaboration projects under the banner of the “All-International Collaboration Promotion Organization,” with faculty and staff working as one team.
