The characteristics of iU, the ICT university

 In April 2020, in Tokyo, I set up iU and became the university president.

 I will organize its characteåristics below.

1 A foundation of ICT education
 The Japan Electronics College, which is run by the parent organization the Electronics Academy, has built a foundation in ICT education, which provides the warp of our university - such as programming and data processing - for close to 70 years. It has the trust and the track record of having turned out 110,000 people into the industry.

2 Platform
 Apart from collaborating with ICT-related consortiums such as the CiP convention, we will join hands with many businesses and carry out hands-on project-based education with the weft of industry. We will invite over 200 pros as visiting professors, including frontline managers.

3 A university where you can earn income yourself
 While setting up a virtual learning environment where students can learn anywhere and at any time, we will also prepare infrastructure such as a framework that combines the virtual and the real, where all students can train their skills in a real on-site environment as interns, as well as an English-centered lesson environment. In addition, we will prepare an environment for students to earn income. We have also set up “iCorporation”, which all students will join, and all students will be able to start their own businesses. We will also work with funds to prepare an environment where all students can found businesses.

4 Test bed
 We will make good use of the CiP National Strategic Special Zone. Based on the CiP scheme in Takeshiba in the Tokyo Bay Area, in which ICT and digital businesses as well as domestic and foreign universities and research institutions such as Stanford University are participating, various regulations will be relaxed, such as those on radio waves, IoT, robots, and starting businesses. The core of this is a plan to carry out experiments and verification based on industry-academia collaboration. Our campus in Sumida ward is also aiming for designation as a special educational zone.

 This is a challenge. We hope you will join us.
