From 2006 to 2011 Raud served as the first rector of the Tallinn University. He is also the current President of the European Association of Japanese Studies.Raud is an honorary doctor of the University of Latvia and the Vytautas Magnus University.As a scholar, Raud has published on a wide range of subjects from cultural theory to pre-modern Japanese literature and philosophy, both in English and Estonian. His theoretical project is an effort to combine the semiotics of the Lotman tradition with anthropological and sociological approaches in order to achieve a more holistic understanding of cultural phenomena. His work on Japan has dealt with some of the most important philosophical thinkers, notably Dōgen and Nishida Kitarō.As an author, Raud has published four collections of poetry, five novels and several collections of short stories and plays. He has received the Estonian Cultural Endowment Annual Prize for Hektor and Bernard (2004) and The Reconstruction (2012) as well as the Vilde Prize for Vend (Brother, 2008). Recently, Raud has started to write and publish "very short stories" on Twitter.Raud has also frequently contributed to the Estonian public debate by opinion pieces, essays and critical newspaper columns, in which he has expressed left-liberal views and criticised nationalist attitudes. In 2003, he received the prize of the Estonian Journalists' Union for a series of articles criticising the American invasion of Iraq and the Estonian support to it. In 2003-2004 he hosted a philosophical talk show on the Estonian TV called Vita brevis.Raud is also well known for his translations of Japanese classical literature into Estonian. These include Süda on ainuke lill (Heart is the Only Flower, anthology of waka poetry, 1994), Hullunud pilv (The Crazy Cloud by Ikkyu, 2010) and Mäetipp järve põhjas (The Mountain Peak on the Bottom of the Lake, anthology of haiku poetry, 2008).
