Research / Outreach

Education / Community Outreach

AIU has created a cross-cultural campus, which can be described as the epitome of the world, with international students from over 200 partner institutions abroad. We have unique expertise in learning English in English and are working to pass on this expertise to the educational field in elementary, junior high, and high schools. In addition, our diverse human resources contribute to the promotion of internationalization in the region by interacting with local residents.

Corporate Collaboration

In April 2022, the Institute for Promotion of Applied International Liberal Arts was established, consisting of three organizations: the Active Learning Support Center, the Creative Design & Data Science Center, and the Center for Collaborative Research and Outreach, with the aim of further advancing the university’s education for all people. One of these organizations, the Center for Collaborative Research and Outreach, collaborates with businesses and organizations to address local challenges, striving for advanced societal contributions.

Research / Academic Collaboration

Under the Institute for Promotion of Applied International Liberal Arts, aiming to be a driving force for innovative research, education, and community contribution rooted in the local region and extending to the global stage, we newly established the Creative Design & Data Science Center through collaboration between academia, industry, and government. We are conducting diverse research activities through collaborations with various academic institutions.
