About Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe

The University of Tokyo Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU, WPI) is a cross-disciplinary research center for addressing the origin and evolution of the Universe. The institute was established in 2007 as part of the World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI), under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, with the University of Tokyo as the host institution. The name of the Institute was changed to the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) in April 2012 after the University of Tokyo accepted an endowment from the Kavli Foundation. Including affiliate members and students, it is an international research center for some 300 researchers and many more visitors in physics, mathematics and astronomy.
