Features	Kagoshima University Fundamental Values 　　Kagoshima University is located on the southernmost main island of the Japanese archipelago. Two defining features of the geography of the area are its openness to the Asian region and its natural environment consisting of the sea, volcanoes, and islands. Our unique initiatives will be based not only on such geographical features but also on our inherited tradition of education and spirit. It was immersion in the unique education and spirit of our region that motivated local predecessors to support Japan's Meiji Era modernization. We aim to contribute to local, national, and international communities and to be a comprehensive university with an enterprising spirit of which all members of the university, graduates, and the local community can be proud. 　　As regards the fourth mid-term objectives and the planning period, we will continue to strengthen our functionality as a central hub for revitalization of the southern Kyushu and Nansei Islands regions while working toward the realization of a sustainable society. From the southern Kyushu region to the world, we wish to enhance flourishing through the fostering of human resources an enterprising spirit, a global perspective and an eagerness and initiative to take on difficult challenges. We will also work on the following fundamental objectives to enhance the university’s value as a ‘glocal’ education and research hub. 1. Reforming Education to Develop ‘Glocally-Minded’ Human Resources 2. Promotion of Academic Research That Utilize the Strengths and Uniqueness of the University 3. Promoting Social Contribution and Industry–Academia Collaboration to Address Regional Issues 4. Providing High-Quality Medical Care to the Community 5. Managing and Improving Organization Based on Self-Analysis Link
