Research Fund


  1. Graduate School of Media and Governance Research Fund
    1. Budget
      The Research Fund is provided to each laboratory to cover expenses relating to research supervision in the Graduate School of Media and Governance. The budget is finalized according to the number of members in each laboratory. The fund is intended for faculty members in charge of "Master Seminar" and/or "Independent Research" courses, and the master's and doctoral students enrolled in these courses. The number of members excludes: non-degree students, students studying abroad or on a temporary leave of absence, those who have yet to pay their academic fees for the semester concerned including those who applied for tuition deferment, (*those who do not pay their academic fees by the end of December will not be counted for this academic year), and faculty members studying abroad, on sabbatical, or on other leave (but those who have students registered for their "Master Seminar" and "Independent Research" will be counted).

      The budget for each fund will be calculated after students have registered for courses, and details will be provided to the faculty member in charge. Please share the details with the fund administrator in the laboratory you belong to. The number of registered students will be reviewed after the course registration period for the Fall Semester ends, and the budget will be adjusted and finalized.
    2. Deadlines
      Application deadline: Friday, February 27, 2026 (to be strictly observed)
      Accepted period for invoices and receipts: Tuesday, April 1, 2025-Friday, February 27, 2026
      *Each year, we receive a high volume of applications just before the deadline, resulting in payments taking longer than usual.
      Please understand that this research fund is intended to be used for research in the 2025 academic year.
    3. How to apply and check remaining balance
      The new accounting system (Dr.Budget; hereafter, "DB") will be used for accounting procedures. As students do not have permission to enter data into DB, they need to submit application forms, invoices, and receipts to the faculty member in charge.
      Your balance can be viewed on DB.
    4. Necessary documents and guidelines
      Research fund guidelines have been unified across all Keio campuses since the 2023 academic year.
      Please refer to the Keio University Manual for Use of Funds (keio.jp login required) for specific procedures and criteria.
      (Japanese version)
      (English version)
      The English version for 2025 will be released later.
      In the event of a discrepancy between the English and Japanese version, the Japanese version will prevail.
