About C.S.I.P.
Message
Welcome to CSIP at the University of Aizu!
Globalization has been included as a very important component in the spirit of the establishment of the University of Aizu, and
the University has implemented several measures for globalization since its establishment. In FY 2005, the University was accepted
as the only Prefectural university for a project subsidy from the Strategic Fund
for Establishing International Headquarters in Universities from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and
Technology (MEXT), and established the Center for
Strategy of International Programs (CSIP) to act as a central organization for establishment of policies regarding measures towards
the University's globalization, and the Center now functions as a center for the University's international affairs.
In order to promote the founding mission of the University of Aizu, "to Advance Knowledge for Humanity," CSIP will encourage
international exchange in both research and education and aim to realize the idea of "local to global, global to local" through
contributions to international and local society. These contributions will be made by fostering excellent human resources and conducting
creative research at the University as an international base for education and research.
