Business summary
This project has been held since 2010 as a study group for university executive members, including presidents of member schools of the Foundation.
During this time, SD was made mandatory following the revision of the University Establishment Standards in April 2017, and university executive members are now required to receive training not only on FD but also on university management in general. In response, this project was renamed “University Executive Seminar” in 2018 and is now held on themes related to university management in general.

theme “The role of universities in a rapidly declining birthrate” overview The Central Council for Education is also debating the future of universities amid a rapidly declining birthrate. What kind of society will we have in the future, and what role should universities play in it? What kind of policy thinking is required to achieve this, and what is required of the presidents and other senior management and faculty members who are promoting reforms at individual universities? This session will introduce some of the discussions at the Central Council for Education, as well as the latest survey results on president leadership, and other topics. Teacher Akiko Morozumi,
