The Inamori Frontier Research Center was established at Kyushu University (Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan) to undertake research activities contributing to the harmony of minds and technology, and to support the education of young researchers. Kyocera agrees with the goals of the Center, and has supported its operations since 2008 by donating scholarship funds. In October 2019, Kyushu University established the "Kyocera Professorship.” Two professors from the Inamori Frontier Research Center were appointed and are currently conducting cutting-edge research.

In 2000, Kyocera endowed the Chair of Management Studies in the Faculty of Engineering at Kagoshima University (Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan). In 2005, the Inamori Academy of Management and Technology was founded, which later reorganized and merged into the Inamori Academy in 2008. In 2008, the Inamori Academy building opened to offer a course targeting the comprehensive development of human potential. Kyocera supported the construction of the facility.

In gratitude for many years of collaboration with the American electronics industry, and based on a desire to ensure the industry’s continued development, since 1984 Kyocera has given endowments to the engineering divisions of Alfred University, Case Western Reserve University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the University of Washington. These endowments support the research activities of appointed Kyocera Professors as well as the enrollment of overseas students and researchers at each institution. Kyocera regularly holds research exchange meetings with Professor Kyocera to promote open innovation.

In 1998, Kyocera donated to Japan’s National Museum of Ethnology more than 12,000 volumes of documents that had been submitted to the British parliament in the 19th and 20th centuries. The collection was transferred to the Center for Integrated Area Studies (CIAS) at Kyoto University in 2006 and is utilized as a resource for research.
