Kyodai Collaborative operates programs to promote our mission of advancing Kyoto University’s commitment to academic freedom and excellence, as well as the pursuit of harmonious coexistence between humanity and the natural world. Through the programs, we aim to build strong intercultural relationships, promote research, cultivate leadership, and inspire participants to tackle complex challenges collaboratively, respectfully, and sustainably.
Webinars
Kyodai Collaborative delivers webinars to promote Kyoto University by featuring research and international collaborations in diverse fields. We organized panel discussions, titled “Webinar Series – Kyoto University Voices” to highlight alumni voices and send messages to envision bright future between 2020 and 2022. Additionally, we support webinars by Kyoto University for alumni and supporters in the U.S.

Kingfisher Global Leadership Program
On an annual basis, we provide 10 currently enrolled Kyoto University students with the opportunity to develop skills and networks to thrive in an increasingly globalized society. During the two-week program, the participants learn about international career opportunities directly from professionals at numerous organizations, such as the World Bank Group, the United Nations, and Google.

Shida Scholarship Program
This scholarship program is designed to provide scholarships to students and researchers from the Faculty of Engineering and Graduate School of Engineering at Kyoto University who will undertake long-term research studies at universities and research institutes in the U.S., UK, or Canada. This program is based on the will of the late Mitsuzo Shida, a graduate of Kyoto University’s Faculty of Engineering and later on became very successful in the United States, and is funded by generous donations from his bereaved family.
