The Endowed chair program is a program in which a fund is established using donations received from outside the university, with proceeds from operating the fund used as a source of funding to employ Full-time Faculty or Faculty (without tenure). This program, established in November 2022 as the first of its kind at a Japanese University, allows for permanent employment up until retirement. The introduction of this program is part of Waseda University’s innovative efforts to become an outstanding research university.
