Top Global University Project

The Top Global University Project (スーパーグローバル大学創成支援, Sūpā gurōbaru daigaku sōsei shien) is a funding project by the Japanese government that began in 2014.[1] The project aims to enhance the globalization of the country's public and private universities so that graduates can "walk into positions of global leadership".[2] The project is sometimes referred to as 'TGUP'; it has also been (mis)translated directly in English as "Super Global Universities", and therefore referred to on some university websites as 'SGU' or 'SGUP'.
