Overview of the Center
The Center for Peace, Hiroshima University (CPHU) was established on July 8, 1975 as an intramural, university-wide facility for collection of data and research into peace science. At that time, CPHU was the first academic research body of its kind in Japan, and to this day it remains the only peace research institute in Japan's national universities. In order to strengthening functions, we renamed The Center for Peace, Hiroshima University (CPHU) on April 1st, 2018.
