　Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, the only maritime university in Japan, cultivates human resources who will be responsible for tomorrow's maritime field through distinctive education and research that emphasizes practical learning. In October 2015, as we approached the 10rd mid-term target period as a national university corporation, we formulated "Vision 2027 - To open up the future of the ocean -", which sets the direction of our university.After that, in order to respond to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 3rd Basic Plan on Ocean Policy, we announced "Vision 2019 Version 2027" in 2, and a concrete action plan for its steady implementation. (Action Plan) has been formulated, and the faculty and staff have worked together to advance the reform of the university.

　On the other hand, global warming and the novel coronavirus disease have had a serious impact on the international community, and the 2040 problem of the declining birthrate and aging population is weighing heavily on Japan.Under these circumstances, I am currently wondering how the university will contribute to the future society after 2027, that is, after the end of the 4th Mid-term Objective Period, by deepening and developing the activities of the university. I had to think once.

　Therefore, toward the future of 2040, which is difficult for anyone to imagine, the direction that the university should take is summarized as "Vision 2040", and the action plan has been formulated in the management planning office under the direct control of the president.In making it concrete, we intentionally included both long-term issues and urgent issues, so some have different completion times.Furthermore, considering the rapidly changing social situation in recent years, we believe that it is necessary to constantly evaluate the achievement status of each plan and to revise the vision as needed based on the results.

　Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology regards students, faculty and staff, alumni, related industries and local people as stakeholders.We recognize that this "Vision 2040" and action plan should be shared not only with our stakeholders, but also with everyone who has an interest in our university.We look forward to receiving your frank opinions.
