Top Global University Project

The Top Global University Project, a funding project promoted by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, concluded in FY 2023.

Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) has more than 140 years of tradition in technical innovation and industrial cooperation, the driving force behind Japan's development. The Institute has produced outstanding leaders and excellent research results in the field of science and technology, so much so that an adage arose during the years Tokyo Tech was located in Kuramae in Taito City. "Wherever there's a chimney, there you will find someone from Kuramae," meaning that wherever there was a large-scale industrial complex, a graduate had been involved in its establishment.

Throughout the Top Global University Project, under the leadership of the president, faculty members and administrative and technical staff were united in enhancing the Institute's quality, Tokyo Tech Quality, which was the result of long-standing hands-on education based on advanced research. The aim was to become a global hub of knowledge and talent in science and technology and share Tokyo Tech Quality with the world.

Although this project concluded in FY 2023 after a 10-year funding period, Tokyo Tech continues to implement pioneering initiatives and promote internationalization actively.
