Hiroshima University opened its doors as a peace-pursuing university in 1949, four years after the atomic bomb was dropped, amidst the remaining scars of the nuclear devastation. While advancing cutting-edge research and nurturing highly skilled professionals, the university has always upheld “The Pursuit of Peace” as a guiding principle. It founded the nationʼs first academic research institution dedicated to peace studies and has worked tirelessly on peace-related investigations and research. Today, Hiroshima University has grown into one of Japanʼs leading comprehensive research universities, with 12 schools, four graduate schools, and one research institute, contributing to societal development through its diverse expertise.Last year, we formulated the “President 5 Initiatives for Peace Sciences: Creating Peace to Realize Safety and Security” as key objectives to realize the universityʼs future vision. In 2024, Hiroshima University celebrates its 75th anniversary, and it marks the 150th anniversary since the founding of its oldest predecessor school, Hakushima School. Through numerous commemorative projects, such as wrapped trams and buses, participation in the Hiroshima Flower Festival, and sponsoring a game of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp baseball team, we express our gratitude for the overwhelming support we have received and renew our commitment to moving forward with Hiroshima. Hiroshima University will use this milestone as momentum to continue its efforts to become a “University of Peace” loved by the community and chosen by the world. We remain dedicated to fostering more “peace-pursuing cultured individuals with an international mindset and a challenging spirit” and aim to become a “University of World-wide Repute and Splendor for Years into the Future.”The Pursuitof PeaceThe Creation ofNew Forms ofKnowledgeThe Nurturing ofWell-RoundedHuman BeingsPresidentHiroshima UniversityContinuousSelf-DevelopmentCollaborationwith the Local,Regional andInternationalCommunityWe embrace the universityʼs founding principle of “a single unified university, free and pursuing peace,” striving to fulfill our missions as a national university under five guiding principles.Hiroshima UniversityGuiding PrinciplesOCHI MitsuoUniversity of World-wide Repute and Splendor for Years into the FutureStriving to Become a ʻUniversity ofPeaceʼ Chosen by the World
