The Center for Peace

About Us

The Institute for Peace Science Hiroshima University (IPSHU) was established on July 8, 1975 as the first academic research institute for peace studies in Japan, with the purpose of conducting research and surveys and collecting materials related to peace science as a university-wide facility of Hiroshima University.

On April 1, 2018, the Institute for Peace Science Hiroshima University evolved into “The Center for Peace, Hiroshima University”. Since then, its functions have been enhanced, allowing it to play an even greater role inside and outside the university and develop new research and educational approaches to peace.
