The Institute of Plant Science and Resources (IPSR)The Institute of Plant Science and Resources was originally established in 1914 as the “Ohara Institute for Agricultural Research” with the aim of advancing the agricultural sciences. The founder was Magosaburo Ohara, a major figure in the modernization of Okayama. In 1952, the institute became affiliated with Okayama University and was renamed the “Institute for Agricultural Biology.” In 1988, the Institute was renamed the “Research Institute for Bioresources.” On April 1, 2010, the institute was renamed the “Institute of Plant Science and Resources” (IPSR) as a joint usage/research center for scientists in Japan. The IPSR comprises the Atmospheric Stress unit, Soil Stress unit, Biotic Stress unit, Genetic Resources unit, and Applied Genomics unit under two research areas (the Research Core for Plant Stress Science and the Research Core for Future Crops) and one research center (the Barley and Wild Plant Resource Center). The institute's current scientific mission is to develop new crops that will be suited for multiple stress environments and to promote agricultural production in stress affected areas worldwide.

The Institute for Planetary Materials (IPM)The Institute for Planetary Materials (IPM) was established in April 2016 through reorganization of the Institute for Study of Earth’s Interior. IPM is located at Misasa, Tottori. IPM is a world-class research institution in the field of Earth and planetary materials science with a range of experimental facilities and analytical expertise. The institute has research divisions: “Basic Planetary Materials”; “Planetary Systems Science”; and, “Astrobiology”. The institute is promoting research programs in Earth and planetary materials science including those related to the origin of life, as well as interdisciplinary research and the development of new research fields. The institute has also been promoting education of next-generation researchers via a 5-year doctoral program within the Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology and an annual Misasa International Student Intern Program.

The Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Science (RIIS) The Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Science (RIIS) was established in April 2016, to advance the study of physics and fundamental biological science. In particular, RIIS investigates neutrino physics using laser spectroscopy, the fabrication of artificial photosynthesis systems, as well as the clarification of the structure and mechanism of photosynthesis. In addition, research is being carried out on the design of superconducting materials with a high superconducting critical temperature, new functional materials for future electronic devices, and the theoretical elucidation of the properties of energy storage materials. Furthermore, RIIS aims at producing new functional materials and devices through interdisciplinary collaboration by physicists, mathematicians, chemists, and biologists.

Okayama University wishes to enhance the civic life of Okayama city by deepening the links between the citizens and the university community. One part of this integration has been the establishment of informal meeting places for citizens and the university community designed by the world famous Japanese architects SANAA. There is one at the Shikata campus, the Junko Fukutake Hall, and the other, the Junko Fukutake Terrace, is located at Tsushima campus. The Junko Fukutake Hall is a series of wooden triangular roofs that allow natural light making a bright, flexible space where concerts, lectures, and public events are often held. The Junko Fukutake Terrace is also a construction based on steel frames but with curving glass walls and an undulating roof. It serves as a cafe and sometimes a display space.

Okayama University AlumniOkayama University Alumni, unlike the former alumni association centering on alumni only, was founded in October 2013, as network organization that supports the development of Okayama University as an “All Okadai” organization. Okayama University Alumni aims for the advancement of its members including everyone who has participated in the intellectual activities of Okayama University - not only alumni, but also currently enrolled students, current faculty staff, former faculty staff, international students, research students, and all other people who have been or are at present associated with Okayama University.

To enhance education and academic research and to develop joint educational programs, a group of national universities (Chiba University, Niigata University, Kanazawa University, Okayama University, Nagasaki University and Kumamoto University) organized The Consortium of Six National Universities in Japan.
