University of
Tsukuba

University of Tsukuba is one of the top research-intensive universities and the oldest higher educations in Japan. The history dates back to the Normal School, founded in 1872 and chartered in 1886. With the campus relocation in 1973, Tsukuba has transformed itself into an interdisciplinary, transborder and open university for all. Today, Tsukuba is known as a home for students, a hub for researchers, a field for athletes, and an incubator for entrepreneurs.

TEDxUTsukuba

Since 2016, TEDxUTsukuba has been an independently-organized TEDx community in the University of Tsukuba. We are made up of a diverse group of students and alumni with curiosity and advocacy. As the theme for the 2020 event "JIJIMUGE" represents the spirit of perceiving a complex world as it is, we aim to be a catalyst for change by spreading out diverse values and inspiring ideas.

Social Capital

Our motto "Social Capital" refers to the idea that each and every one of our members deserves respect and mutual trust enhances the cohesion of the organization. The challenges we face today is so complicated that we need to build solidarity across our difference. At the University of Tsukuba, people from a variety of disciplines come together on one campus to study, research, and work. In this diverse community, we aim to be a bridge that connects people through ideas worth spreading.

Team

Each team has a number of unique expertise and experience.
