The Hiroshima Statement on Essential Practice of Research Management and Administration was developed as part of the INORMS 2021 Congress, which was originally planned to be held in Hiroshima, Japan.

The Statement is not representative of the official policies and regulations of the associations participating in this Congress, but has been endorsed by the INORMS Council, which is made up of representatives from INORMS member organizations.

On May 24, 2021 (Japan time), the INORMS Council convened a virtual meeting.

During the meeting, Dr. Koetsu Yamazaki, Chair of RMAN-J, completed the Hiroshima Statement by signing the document.
We are very glad that we can now celebrate the formulation of the Hiroshima Statement here at INORMS 2021.
