Appropriate and efficient operations, the use of increasing information and communications and their promotion, along with prompt responses to diverse processing demands: these actions are all required for education and research at Nagoya University. In order to respond to these needs, the further enhancement and use of the information infrastructure are essential and the University needs to pursue measures for the information infrastructure based on a consistent philosophy.

In addition to the Information Strategy Office, the Information and Communications Center supervises the Information and Technology Center consisting of faculty members, and the Information and Communications Promotion Department consisting of members of the administration and technical staff. The Information Strategy Office defines the basic strategic policy for planning and management with regard to information infrastructure operations and the information system in the University and gives directions to each. The Information Strategy Office also cooperates with the subdivisions of security organizations on information security and engages in planning and evaluation for compliance with the security policies of Nagoya University.
