This book comprehensively introduces the history of Tokyo Institute of Technology over 140 years and its challenges to the future. Since its birth as the Tokyo Vocational School in 1881, Tokyo Institute of Technology has continued its self-innovation and contributed to the development of Japanese science and technology. The founding spirit of "creating people and starting industry" is still the foundation of Tokyo Institute of Technology. Under this philosophy, Tokyo Institute of Technology has evolved from the college to the University of Science and Engineering. It is noteworthy that the "Reform of Heisei" led by President Sankei Dozen was born out of a sense of crisis about the decline of Japanese industry. With the recognition that universities are the key to Japanese economic and industrial development, Tokyo Institute of Technology is carrying out innovative initiatives in each field of education, research, and social contribution. In the education field, we have constructed a new system that responds to globalization, including integrated education from undergraduate to doctoral courses and English-language education in graduate schools. In the research field, we have challenged to create new knowledge, including the establishment of the Basic Research Institute and the promotion of research fusion with Tokyo Tokyo Medical and Dental University. In addition, strengthening industry-university cooperation is also an important initiative. We aim to make strong social contribution by deepening cooperation with companies, including the establishment of the Open Innovation Organization and the enhancement of university concierge functions. This book details these initiatives and highlights a wide range of aspects such as university management reform, the promotion of diversity, and internationalization strategies. It also introduces future visions such as the Campus Innovation Ecosystem Initiative for the next 100 years. Through this book, readers will learn about the grand challenges of Tokyo Institute of Technology to the past, present, and future.
