As a school located in Hiroshima where the world's first atomic bombing occurred back in 1945, Hiroshima University has been fully committed to peace. Relying on its peace-seeking spirit from the history, Hiroshima University is striving to become a center for education and research that contributes to the global community. In doing so, the school truly hopes the message of 'peace', an unforgettable lesson from the past, can be delivered to the world.
Hiroshima
University's International Center is the firm proof of the school's ceaseless
devotion to the peace of the world. Hiroshima University established the
International Center last year to promote university-wide international
exchange activities. Since then, International Center has been accelerating the
school's initiatives of making various intellectual contributions to the
international community. Activities for international cooperation are striking
examples.
The center addresses global issues by conducting projects such as the 'African-Asia University Dialogue for Educational Development Project', a UNESCO's UNITWIN (University Education Twining and Network Scheme) program and the 'Practical Research on
Sustainable Development in Central American and Caribbean Countries'.
International Center also encourages global collaboration based upon
cooperative agreements with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)
and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). Needless
to say, the center provides abundant administrative support for these
activities.
