Research & Partnerships

Promoting research activities that leverage the University’s unique characteristics 

At Doshisha University, many distinctive research activities are conducted across a variety of fields in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences beyond each graduate school or academic domain, in addition to individual faculty members’ research activities. In addition, research activities are conducted not only within the University but also in collaboration with research institutes, companies, and local governments outside the University. The results from these activities are returned to society at large, contributing to the development of social activities and to the educational and research activities of the University, thereby fostering the next generation of researchers.
