OverviewConducting advanced research and using the results for the benefit of society. In keeping with the philosophy of Keio University, we always strive to be at the leading edge of learning and research. We believe that being at the forefront of advanced research is essential to support SFC's problem identification/problem solving style of education. As part of the social responsibility of our university, the Keio Research Institute at SFC conducts cutting-edge research; promotes the revitalization and modernization of universities; and contributes back to society through research results. The Keio Research Institute at SFC has the following functions in order to conduct innovative research and to contribute to the development of society through cooperation across different scientific fields.
Background of the Research InstituteKeio University established the Shonan-Fujisawa Campus (SFC) in 1990 with two faculties: Policy Management and Environmental Information(*). SFC is based on an innovative concept that reorganizes existing research results to offer flexible opportunities for researchers and educators so they can cope with the ever-changing environment of information technology. In 1991, the Policy Management Laboratory, the Environmental Information(*) Laboratory and the Language Communication Laboratory were established as affiliated laboratories. In 1994, the Graduate School of Media and Governance Master's course was established followed by a Doctoral course in 1996. In July 1996, the three laboratories were combined to form the Keio Research Institute at SFC affiliated with the Keio University Graduate School of Media and Governance, the faculties of Policy Management and the faculties of Environmental Information.(*) Since April 2013, the Keio Research Institute at SFC is affiliated with the Graduate School of Media and Governance , the Graduate School of Health Management, the faculties of Policy Management, and the faculties of Environment and Information.

World Wide CooperationThe W3C was founded in October 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the Web, to lead the Web to its full potential by developing common protocols that promote its evolution and ensure its interoperability. W3C is an international industry member consortium jointly run by MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (MIT CSAIL) in the USA, the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM) headquartered in France, and Keio University in Japan. Based at Keio Research Institute at SFC, W3C Keio is the host organization for Japan and Korea since September 1996.
