On October 2, 2026, Kyoto University Research Information Repository "KURENAI" celebrated its 20th anniversary, marking a significant milestone since its official launch in 2006.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the researchers who have contributed their valuable research outputs, as well as to everyone inside and outside the university who has supported the development and operation of the system.
To celebrate this 20th anniversary, we have launched the "KURENAI 20th Anniversary Website".
The website will feature a variety of content reflecting KURENAI's past, present, and future.
In addition, as part of the 20th anniversary project, we plan to hold exhibitions and seminars on open access within the university.
Further details will be announced on the Kyoto University Library Network news and the anniversary website as soon as they are finalized.
As a platform to widely disseminate and share academic research outputs produced by Kyoto University with society and the world, KURENAI remains committed to promoting sustainable and reliable open access.
We deeply appreciate your continued understanding and support.
