For English IncluDE UTokyo Center for Coproduction of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity Who we are IncluDE adopts a participatory approach, anchoring its activities in the unmet needs of individuals with lived experiences of marginalization, exclusion, and discrimination. This collaborative process is designed to coproduce academic excellence and cultivate an inclusive campus environment. By integrating diverse research areas and practices, IncluDE aims to ensure equitable inclusion of diverse populations on campus, with a specific focus on advancing gender and disability equity. The Center for Coproduction of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (IncluDE) stands at the heart of UTokyo's commitments stated in UTokyo Compass, the guiding principles of the university. Our mission is clear: to achieve gender equity and disability equity, enabling every individual, regardless of their background, to thrive and contribute. We believe in a world where diversity is not just accepted but celebrated as a source of strength, creativity, and innovation. At IncluDE, we believe in the power of "coproduction." This means that your voice, your ideas, and your dreams are not just welcomed-they are essential. Our motto, "Nothing about us without us!" is a testament to our commitment to ensuring that every member of our community is an active participant in shaping the future of our campus and beyond. As you can see in the diagram on the back page, the DEI Implementation Division of IncluDE works towards a better campus environment and provides support with an integrative administrative structure. In addition, the DEI Research Division brings together DEI-related researchers who are scattered throughout the university in various faculties. The Office for DEI Coproduction Strategies connects these two sections to create a virtuous cycle of synergy. IncluDE also provides comprehensive DEI education and training for faculty, staff, and students. This initiative aims to sharpen the university community's sensitivity towards human rights and cultivate empathy in them as global citizens who proactively pursue the realization of DEI in society. ---- What we do Office for DEI Coproduction Strategies The Office for DEI Coproduction Strategies, with contributions from the director of the Center and the main members of the two divisions, serves as the cornerstone of the Center's operations. It acts as the nexus between the DEI Research Division and the DEI Implementation Division, facilitating the integration of research into actual support activities and vice versa. The Office also builds ties with corporations, local communities, other universities, and society at large. The Office showcases the Center's cutting-edge research, DEI-related resources, information about events inside and outside the university, and various services offered within the university by utilizing digital information technologies, and it serves as a hub for disseminating DEI innovation. In collaboration with the DEI Research and Implementation Divisions, the office conducts education and training programs about gender, sexuality, and disability to nurture an inclusive campus culture. It values insights gained through practice, considers the cultural context of Japan and Asia, and shares its outcomes both inside and outside Japan. Aligned with the social model of disability, IncluDE works with the permanent Advisory Board of Minoritized Groups, thereby incorporating the perspectives of individuals with lived experiences into all of the Center's activities. The fruits of our research are disseminated and implemented in local communities through industry-government-academia ties and entrepreneurship support. In addressing gender equity, IncluDE also consults visionaries from inside and outside Japan to tackle gender inequality issues at the University of Tokyo and throughout Japan. DEI Research Division The University of Tokyo is proud of having a number of distinguished scholars specializing in DEI, such as gender and sexuality studies and disability studies. The DEI Research Division fosters collaboration among researchers in these areas and related fields across the university. By integrating the research findings from each field, the Division establishes an interdisciplinary knowledge base, transcending conventional academic boundaries. Additionally, the DEI Research Division is dedicated to addressing the needs of underrepresented community members. It achieves this by gathering comprehensive insights about unmet needs from the DEI Implementation Division as well as the Advisory Board of Minoritized Groups, thereby ensuring that the solutions provided are well-informed and targeted. DEI Implementation Division The DEI Implementation Division comprises the Office for Disability Equity and the Office for Gender Equity, which continue to provide all the support programs previously offered by the Disability Services Office and the Office for Gender Equality, respectively.

Furthermore, this Division seeks to implement practices that reflect cutting-edge research findings obtained by the DEI Research Division. It also inspires new ideas and insights for the DEI Research Division, thereby generating a virtuous cycle of knowledge and practice.
