Mission: “To be a constant source of honorable character and a paragon of intellect and morals and...make Keio a leader of society.” Yukichi Fukuzawa emphasized the importance of both honor and intellect in the pursuit of academic learning, and aspired to shape a personal character suitable of societal leaders. His legacy is embodied within the Mission of Keio University, which Fukuzawa left to his pupils just five years before his death. “Keio University is not merely a place for academic pursuit. Its mission is to be a constant source of honorable character and a paragon of intellect and morals for the entire nation and for each member to apply this spirit to elucidate the essence of family, society, and nation. They will not only articulate this essence in words, but also demonstrate it in their actions, and by so doing make Keio a leader of society.” It is now known as the truest purpose of Keio in its most concise form.
Vision: Where the best students and researchers come to lead Through Yukichi Fukuzawa’s spirit of jitsugaku, Keio is dedicated to making far-reaching contributions to education and research that transcend both national and disciplinary borders. Construct a school where the best students in the world come to learn to contribute to their local and global community. Increase Keio’s international research contributions, welcome the brightest researchers from abroad, and expand and enhance our research infrastructure. Improve financial performance and university environment to sustainably improve the quality of education, research, and medicine. Share our education and research with the world in real time and lift the number and appraisal of our citations.

Subordinate organizations:
The following data gives a quick reading on the scientific performance in the last years. The research ranking refers to the volume, impact and quality of the institution's research output. The innovation ranking is calculated on the number of patent applications of the institution and the citations that its research output receives from patents. Finally, the societal ranking is based on the number of pages of the institution's website and the number of backlinks and mentions from social networks.
The result of the evaluation of the institution can be compared to obtain a view of the country, the region to which it belongs and the institutions of the world, placing it in their respective positions.
We have divided the scientific output of the institution into 19 large areas of knowledge and the following table shows only the ranks in different territorial domains achieved by the institution in each of the areas. For an institution to have a presence in an area, it is necessary that it exceed in the last year a minimum output threshold equivalent to twice the percentage that this area represents in the world. If you need scientific indicators on these areas visit Scopus and/or SciVal.
