Shibaura Institute of Technology has formulated the Centennial SIT Action for the 100th anniversary of its founding and is implementing various initiatives.

In order to introduce a new educational system that takes into account recent social conditions. Under the "Omiya Campus Master Plan 2027" (abbreviated as O-CAMP2027), each facility of the Omiya Campus, which opened in 1966, will be reorganized in stages in consideration of SDGs and decarbonization, and transitioned to facilities with public value with a view to social contribution activities through education and research and BCP for regional cooperation. The transition to facilities with public value is underway. We will continue to enhance our educational and research activities based on our long-term vision of "Nurturing global science and engineering professionals who learn from and contribute to the world" in accordance with the spirit of the university's founding.
