The Inamori Frontier Research Center was established at Kyushu University (Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan) to undertake research activities that will contribute to the harmony of minds and technology, and to support exchanges among young researchers. Kyocera agrees with the goals of the Center, and supported its operations between 2008 and March 2022 by donating scholarship funds, etc. The Inamori Frontier Research Center was renamed as the Inamori Foundation Memorial Hall in April 2022, and its objectives and cutting-edge research were passed on as the Inamori Frontier Program for developing young researchers under the "Kyocera Professorship" at Kyushu University starting in April 2022.

Kyocera supports the research and educational activities of the Inamori Academy at Kagoshima University. Following the endowment of the Chair of Management Studies in the Faculty of Engineering at Kagoshima University in 2000, the Inamori Academy of Management and Technology was founded in 2005, and later reorganized and merged into the Inamori Academy in 2008. Kyocera has consistently supported the Academy since it endowed the Chair of Management Studies. In doing so, it promotes initiatives for "Producing '21st Century Citizens' endowed with high ethical values for serving society and humanity and developing leaders that are desired by local communities."

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. This contributes towards the acquisition of cutting-edge research information, developing of young researchers, dispatch of researchers, joint research, etc.
On August 26 and 27, 2024, the 9th Kyocera Professors Meeting was held at the Kirishima R&D Center for the first time in four years to share the most recent research.

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.
