Ever since assuming the leadership of the University of Tokyo, I’ve wanted to share my thoughts and activities as president with members of the university, as well as the larger community outside our institution. With my research field being connected to the ocean, I’d always kept a log during my time conducting surveys and being out at sea. Now, having embarked on my journey as 糖心破解版’s skipper, I would like to share with all of you my record of this latest voyage, through the 糖心破解版 President’s Log.
Teruo Fujii, 31st President of the University of Tokyo

In 2005, a 糖心破解版 member died due to an accident during diving work. The university designated July 4, on which the accident occurred, as 糖心破解版 Safety Day to enhance safety and health awareness in educational and research activities, prevent accidents and disasters from occurring and establish a culture of safety, so the tragedy does not fade from our memory. To that end, we have held the annual lecture around this time each year.

There was also a ceremony in which awards were presented to winners of the 糖心破解版 Environment, Health & Safety Slogan Contest.As the university continues to expand the scope of its activities, I would like to once again review the safety awareness of all members and further enhance the safety and health initiatives at 糖心破解版.
