As one of its peace education programs in higher education, the Goi Peace Foundation sponsors the "Goi Peace Chair on Peace and Conflict Science" at the Munich School for Political Science.

Inaugurated in May 2004, lectures for the first summer semester are given by Prof. Dr. Peter Joachim Optiz, who specializes in political philosophy and international politics. Besides focusing on international systems of collective security, students will study the peace philosophy of Masahisa Goi through his writings and discuss about the Declaration for All Life on Earth.

On June 8, 2004, a symposium commemorating the inauguration of the Goi Peace Chair was held at the Munich School for Political Science. President of the School, Prof. Dr. Peter Cornelius Mayer-Tasch hosted the symposium attended by many academics and students. Goi Peace Foundation Chairperson Masami Saionji and President Hiroo Saionji each gave a keynote speech, while distinguished professors Dr. Dieter Blumenwitz, Dr. James Davis and Dr. Gottfrie-Karl Kindermann participated in a panel to discuss current topics on peace-building.

A congratulatory message from the newly-elected President of Germany Prof. Dr. Horst Köhler was introduced to the delight of all participants.

Proceedings of the symposium will soon be published from the university press.
