ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Compass — a statement of the guiding principles of the University of Tokyo — prescribes monitoring indicators to track the progress of specific activities designed to carry out the action plans laid out in the statement to achieve its goals. The data is shared and reviewed periodically by university executives, administrators and others to assess the current value (i.e., current standing) of the activities.
This website publishes some key data tied to the monitoring indicators. Our aim is to share information on the progress of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Compass and its next steps widely with the university community and the public, by updating the data regularly and presenting it visually.
