The University of Aizu established the Revitalization Support Center in 2013 and has been working on the revitalization of Fukushima Prefecture, including Hamadori (Coastal area), and has reorganized the organization to strengthen efforts not only for revitalization but also for the creation of the region.

On Monday, July 3, 2023, the signboard unveiling ceremony for the "Revitalization and Creation Support Center" was held with the participation of Iwaki City, Minamisoma City, the Fukushima Innovation Coast Promotion Organization, and the Fukushima Institute for Research, Education and Innovation (F-REI), which have concluded cooperation agreements with the University of Aizu and related to Hamadori, including online participation.
