Hokkaido University's Six Months of Reflecting on Diversity & Inclusion
At Hokkaido University, from the perspective of respecting human rights, we have issued a "Declaration for the Promotion of Diversity & Inclusion" to the international community on December 1, 2021, outlining our stance and commitment to the concept of "diversity and inclusion," which is essential for a university that "contributes to solving global challenges" and forms the foundation of human society.
In conjunction with this, we will be holding a "Diversity & Inclusion Campaign" over a six-month period to raise awareness within the university.
