\u3000In order to realize the principles set forth in the Ehime University Charter, faculty and staff development is essential. Faculty and staff development is referred to as SD (staff development) and FD (faculty development). Faculty development not only leads to the development of Ehime University, but also makes the workplace a place where faculty members can feel satisfaction and pride in their work, which in turn leads to the enrichment of their own lives. \u3000Ehime University has been leading other universities in the development of faculty and staff skills. In recognition of its achievements, the Office for Educational Planning And Research has been certified by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology as a Joint Usage Center for Educational Resources (Center for Faculty Capacity Building). In addition, as the representative school of the Shikoku Regional Network for Faculty and Staff Development (SPOD), we promote capacity development for faculty and staff at universities and colleges of technology in Shikoku.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
