https://sdgs.kuas.kagoshima-u.ac.jp/
Background and objectives of activities
Through Kagoshima University's educational research and social contribution activities, we will further promote activities aimed at achieving the SDGs.
Summary of Activities
Kagoshima University, which aims to be a “glocal education and research base that takes off from southern Kyushu to the world” as a comprehensive university with a progressive spirit, held a public competition for the SDGs symbol mark and catchphrase among its faculty, staff and students, with the aim of promoting efforts to achieve the SDGs through the combined efforts of all Kagoshima University members.
As a result, there were 47 entries for the symbol mark and 81 entries for the catchphrase (valid entries), and the winning entries were decided by a vote of the university's faculty and staff and a judging committee.
【The thoughts behind each entry】
The symbol mark was designed with the “K” of Kagoshima University to express the university's flight from southern Kyushu to the world, and to add color to the university's activities.
The catchphrase expresses the hope that the members of Kagoshima University will take on various challenges and carve out their own futures with their own hands.
Expected Benefits
The fact that Kagoshima University has its own original symbol mark and catchphrase, decided by faculty members and students, makes the SDGs feel more familiar, and also leads to the promotion of SDG achievement through “all-Kagoshima-University” efforts.
In addition, the symbol mark and catchphrase decided are widely used in public relations activities, etc., to promote Kagoshima University's SDG efforts.
