The Institute of Science Tokyo (; branded as Science Tokyo) is a public university in Tokyo, Japan. It was officially established on 1 October 2024,[1] by a merger between the Tokyo Institute of Technology and Tokyo Medical and Dental University.[2] The main campus is located in Ookayama, Meguro, with satellite campuses in Yokohama, Minato-ku, Bunkyo-ku, and Ichikawa.

History

The Tokyo Institute of Technology and Tokyo Medical and Dental University signed an agreement to merge into one university in October 2022.[3] In November and December 2022, the two universities publicly solicited names for the new university on their websites.[4]

On 19 January 2023, it was decided for the new university to use the name "Institute of Science Tokyo" .[5] [6]

On 31 October 2023, the Japanese cabinet decided to amend the National University Corporation Act. The former National University Corporation Tokyo Institute of Technology was renamed the National University Corporation Institute of Science Tokyo, and the National University Corporation Tokyo Medical and Dental University was dissolved at the same time. After being passed by the National Diet of Japan, the amendment took effect on 1 October 2024. The new university's headquarters is located in Meguro-ku, Tokyo, where the former Tokyo Institute of Technology headquarters was located.[7] [8]
