    Abstract:
    The University of Tokyo is committed to serving the global public as outlined in the University charter. Under the leadership of the former President Gonokami in 2017, the University of Tokyo created the Future Society Initiatives (FSI) and has undertaken a variety of measures, including “the expansion of diversity and inclusiveness, the international visibility of UTokyo's potential, and the fostering of human resources capable of leading GX (green transformation)." Under the leadership of the current President, Prof. Fujii, the University has launched an initiative to establish a “College of Design” (tentative name) as part of its efforts to "create a model university for the 21st Century". Capitalizing on the extensive and diverse international experience of participating alumni, we expect to come up with deeper insight into the initiative as well as suggestions as to how alumni may help the university’s efforts, which will be conveyed to the office of the President Fujii.

    Krishen Mehta
    With the sensational revelations from the ‘Panama Papers’ still emerging, renowned expert Krishen Mehta will explain how some $30 trillion in illicit capital flows- to secrecy jurisdictions like Panama, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Switzerland and Luxembourg- keep poor countries mired in poverty and increase global insecurity for everyone. Krishen will discuss what can be done about this pernicious global phenomenon, and explain how this has implications even for law-abiding countries like Japan. Widely consulted, Mr. Mehta appears in the acclaimed documentary on tax havens, ‘The Price We Pay.’ Mr. Mehta was a partner with PwC where he had a 30-year career in their NY, London, and Tokyo offices. He is now an Advisor to Tax Justice Network in London, and is a Senior Global Justice Fellow at Yale University. He is a frequent lecturer at the University of Tokyo.
