At Kyoto University, a wide range of support organizations, including the Kyoto University Office of Research Acceleration, provide comprehensive assistance for research activities from multiple perspectives. This page outlines support services tailored to each stage of research, along with foundational support, to help advance your research endeavors. We encourage you to make the most of our extensive support system.
We support researchers at various stages of the research process, from developing ideas to building research teams and establishing international networks. Through interdisciplinary and global collaboration, we help advance ambitious research on a global stage.
We support researchers in securing funding to sustain and advance their work. From proposal development to coordination with external agencies, we help shape funding strategies tailored to each stage of research.
We provide guidance on the procedures and systems needed to conduct research smoothly. From budget management, contracts, and reporting to research data management, we bring together essential information to support research activities.
We support the communication of research outcomes both domestically and internationally and help ensure that their value reaches society. Through support for publishing and outreach activities, we help connect research results with society in ways aligned with researchers’ goals.
We support research through comprehensive infrastructure and support systems. By providing access to a wide range of resources—including research facilities, libraries, data platforms, and IT environments—we create an environment in which researchers can freely pursue outstanding research.
We support trustworthy research by upholding high standards of ethics, fairness, and integrity. Through systems for research ethics, compliance, and safety management, we help create an environment in which researchers can conduct their work with confidence.
We work to create systems and support environments that enable early-career researchers and international researchers to shape their own career paths while freely and confidently pursuing ambitious and innovative research.
We present Kyoto University’s policies and strategies for strengthening its research capabilities. By thoughtfully assessing research environments and needs and implementing data-driven support measures, we work to strengthen the University’s research foundations and enhance its research standing in Japan and around the world.
