  • Welcome to the Kashiwa Campus of the University of Tokyo
    Welcome to the Kashiwa Campus of The University of Tokyo Adventures in Knowledge Kashiwa campus is the newest of the three main campuses of The University of Tokyo in addition to campuses at Hongo and Komaba, and was established with the vision of building a new community with a strong interdisciplinary and international character that can respond to the dynamic scientific and educational needs of the 21st Century. Hongo campus, the nucleus of academic activities at The University of Tokyo since its founding in 1877, and Komaba campus, focusing on undergraduate studies and building interdisciplinary links between established fields of study for over 60 years, have longstanding academic traditions. The Kashiwa campus recently joined this family and brings with it a fundamental reorganization of the structure of traditional academic disciplines, rethinking the framework of how knowledge is created and organized. Under the slogan of “adventures in knowledge”, the Kashiwa campus has started a range of new initiatives. The Graduate School of Frontier Sciences (GSFS) consists of three divisions each with relevant departments: Division of Transdisciplinary Sciences, Division of Biosciences, and Division of Environmental Studies, and one independent unit: Department of Computational Biology. GSFS aims to create new frontiers of academic fields. The Institute for Solid State Physics (ISSP) is exploring a wide variety of phenomena exhibited by various materials from the viewpoint of basic science using state-of-art experimental facilities and techniques. Materials under study include those forming the basis of today's high-tech society and its future development. The Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR) is pursuing the origins of the universe and matter through research on cosmic rays.
