Diversity
University of Hyogo D&I (Diversity & Inclusion) Declaration
The University of Hyogo is a comprehensive university established by integrating universities with different fields of study against the background of the diverse regional characteristics of the sea and mountains.
To achieve its 100th-anniversary vision of becoming a world-class university that is trusted and valued by society, the University has attracted a diverse range of students and faculty members from home and abroad and has worked to develop human resources who can play an active role on glocal basis.
For a further leap forward, the University of Hyogo will develop its gender equality initiatives, which it has been promoting since 2012, based on the ideas of 'diversity', which respects the diversity and values of each individual, and 'inclusion', which means that all members of the University are included without being left out.
Therefore, the University of Hyogo hereby declares its university-wide promotion of diversity and inclusion to create an environment in which every faculty member and student can make the most of their abilities and co-create, regardless of gender, disability, nationality, religion, culture, sexual minority status, etc.
