About the School

External Partnerships

Partnership with Local Governments in Japan

In order to foster human resources who can resolve realistic issues related to public administration, as a professional graduate school, cooperation with local governments and public institutions are being promoted. We welcome employees of agencies as students; those from each such agency make use of skills and networking contacts that they had cultivated at our Graduate School even after completing their course, and have found success broadly, from managing local governments to promoting industry-academia-government cooperation.

At the same time, there are many collaboration projects in progress, such as receiving opportunities and topics for fieldwork from agencies with which we have concluded agreements, as well as establishing joint research groups that make approaches toward problem solution based on cooperation between us and local governments.
