Hokkaido University has adopted the following four basic education and research principals: Frontier Spirit, Global Perspectives, All-round Education, and Practical Learning. Based on these principals, we have formulated the Future Strategy for the 150th Anniversary of Hokkaido University, to mark the anniversary in 2026. Central to our strategy is the fostering and supporting of early-career researchers who will lead the next generation. We are working to actively employ excellent early-career researchers and female researchers, and to expand the tenure track systems of all academic fields to facilitate the early development of early-career researchers.
