Osaka City University, which had been established by the Osaka Municipal Government, and Osaka Prefecture University, which had been established by the Osaka Prefectural Government, merged in 2022 to form Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU). Osaka City University started out as the Osaka Commercial Training Institute, and Osaka Prefecture University as a training school in veterinary science. The histories of both universities date back around 140 years, and their development tracked that of the major city of Osaka as the “City of Water,” a strategic transportation hub, while the city itself has developed alongside these two universities. While covering educational fields as diverse as commerce, agriculture, engineering, and medicine, among others, both universities have utilized their respective geographical advantages to contribute to the development of the spiritual culture required by residents of Osaka as a major city as well as the vitalization of its industry and economy, through the organic fusion of theory and practice.

In light of our rapidly changing society and changes in the contemporary world, this new university (OMU) has come into being with the goals of creating new academic disciplines that integrate and include further different fields and of educating the diverse citizenry of the world. Osaka’s vast conurbation still lies at the intersection of air, sea, and land routes, and its status as a knowledge base leveraging its geographical advantage as a major city has attracted outstanding students, teaching faculty, and researchers from around the world. The opening of OMU is thus thanks to the participation of a wide variety of people who were proactively involved in the formation of places of learning with the goal of creating an urban culture, which has flowed down as a constant stream from our predecessors. The goals of the new university are to benefit the local community through the results of creative research conducted in this city of international culture, and to engage in dialogue and collaboration with numerous partners, including citizens, local government bodies, industry, and educational and research institutions within Japan and overseas, concerning a broad range of tasks required for the realization and harmonization of a sustainable world, in order to participate in the necessary policy proposals and contribute to the co-creation (incubation) of new industries.

As an advanced research university disseminating information from the local region to the world, OMU will leverage its size so that rather than simply educating its undergraduate and graduate students in a broad range of academic fields, it will offer the wide-ranging fruits of its research to everyone in order to maximize their quality of life—children whose future is still undecided, adults who would like to go back to school, older people who want to live a fulfilled “second life,” the socially vulnerable, people from other countries, and others—and offer them opportunities for nurturing the wisdom to find a better way of living throughout their lives, understanding the importance of making value judgements based on truth, goodness, and beauty and of public-spirited citizenship, and acquiring the ability to take action that may contribute to a better society. With the aim of creating and maintaining a sustainable world, Osaka Metropolitan University will train leaders capable of discussing the diverse range of issues facing the city from a panoramic perspective, and of giving impetus to urban culture.
