DEI
On July1, 2023, our name was changed to "Center for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI Center)", Tohoku University.
Tohoku University Declaration of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)
– Working towards diversity and equity in education, research and an inclusive work environment –
Tohoku University has upheld the principles of “Open Doors,” “Research First” and “Practice Oriented Research and Education” since its establishment in 1907. Departing from the norms of the other imperial universities at the time, Tohoku University accepted graduates from technical schools, and in 1913, became Japan’s first university to accept female students. It was also one of the first universities in Japan to welcome international students.
