This agency was established in April 2005 to oversee matters relating to health, safety and the environment in Kyoto University’s education, research and medical practices. In April 2011, the agency was relaunched with the integration of three centers which had previously formed a support network for its operations: the Environment Preservation Research Center, Radioisotope Research Center and Kyoto University Health Service.
