  • The Top Global University Project aims to enhance Japan's research and educational competitiveness in higher education by supporting university reforms that promote internationalization and cooperation with top overseas universities.
    (Cited from the website of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "Top Global University Project")
  • A total of 37 Japanese universities are certified as Top Global Universities. These universities are divided into two types: the "Top" type, which aims to become one of the top 100 universities in the world to increase international competitiveness, and the "Global Traction" type, which drives the globalization of universities.

In September 2014, the University of Aizu was selected as a Top Global University, "Global Traction" type. Of the 37 universities selected, only two are public universities, Akita International University and the University of Aizu.
