Center for Planetary Health and Innovation Science – PHIS
At the Center for Planetary Health and Innovation Science (PHIS) at Hiroshima University, we are committed to advancing research and education that promotes the health of people, society, and the planet.
Planetary Health is an emerging global framework that recognizes the interdependence of human health, social systems, and the natural environment. In an era of complex global challenges such as climate change and ecosystem degradation, traditional research focused on isolated issues is no longer sufficient. Planetary Health requires a new kind of collaboration – one that cuts across academic disciplines, sectors, and national boundaries.
PHIS brings together expertise from the natural, engineering, agricultural, and health sciences to foster flexible and innovative transdisciplinary research. We aim to contribute to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through knowledge creation, technological innovation, and the development of the next generation of leaders who can work across disciplines and with diverse stakeholders to co-create solutions for a sustainable and inclusive future.
