 PRIDE Index

Based on the University’s General Business Owner Action Plans, the successful initiatives and policies implemented over the last three years (April 2018 – March 2021) were evaluated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and Waseda was awarded its first Kurumin certification(*) on January 11, 2022.

Thus, the Kurumin certification mark can now be used by faculty and staff of the University.

In addition, when applying for public research funding, submitting proof of the Kurumin certification could gain additional evaluation points.

(*)The Kurumin certification is awarded by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare to enterprises who have set and reached goals under their General Business Owner Action Plans, specifically towards the advancement of measures to support raising children of the next generation.
