Other Services
Childcare Services Support for Academic Conferences
Life events such as childbirth and parenting often have a significant impact on researchers' activities. Considering that interruptions or delays in research due to participation in academic conferences can affect career development, our university aims to support researchers by partially subsidizing the cost of childcare services for academic conferences held on campus.
Subsidy for Nursing care Services and Childcare Services
Faculty and staff living with a child (up to the third grade of elementary school) or a family member who needs long-term care may apply for financial aid to cover part of the cost of services received such as babysitting, child day care providers, housekeepers or in-home nursing care. The total amount you may receive is up to 60,000 yen per year for one applicant.

Day nursery room was opened in October 2008 to support the faculty and staff in their work and maximize their welfare and benefits.
- Capacity: 5 children, 57 days old to preschool age

Commitment
Cross-Departmental Projects to Promote Workstyle Reform
Sophia University established the Workstyle Reform Project, a university-wide cross-departmental project led by young and mid-level employees, which began planning activities with a focus on the future. Following a proposal from the project team, in December 2020, Sophia School Corporation formulated a Declaration of Commitment to Employee Workstyle Reforms as a boost to the advancement of future initiatives.
