为了弘扬李政道先生竭力推动中国和世界高能物理不断发展和创新的精神，吸引国内外尖端人才，加快北京大学向世界一流大学迈进的步伐，北京大学于2006年11月25日成立高能物理研究中心,由李政道先生担任中心主任。中心的核心使命是促进海内外科学家的交流与合作，力图在高能物理的一些重要领域，培养一批优秀的青年学者，使他们能在最重要的领域，针对最重要的科学问题，直接参与最前沿的科学研究。为实现这一使命，中心坚持向国内外开放，以服务全国、面向世界为己任，并将大力开展高能物理、核物理、天体物理和宇宙学等物理学及其相关学科的前沿课题研究，同时积极推动国际交流和合作，正努力发展成为中国高能物理研究的重要基地和世界上有影响力的高水平的学术科研机构。

In order to continuously develop and innovate high-energy physics in China and in the world, to attract cutting-edge talents at home and abroad, and also to speed up the pace of Peking University becoming a world-class university, Center for High Energy Physics was set up in Peking University on November 25th, 2006, as Prof. Tsung-Dao Lee was appointed as the director of the center. The core missions of the center are to promote exchanges and cooperation between scientists at home and abroad, to train a group of outstanding young scholars among some of the important High-energy physics areas so that they can be directly involved in scientific research frontiers. To achieve this mission, CHEP,PKU adhere to opening up at home and abroad, with the responsibility of serving the country while facing the world, will focus on high-energy physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, cosmology physics and related cutting-edge researches. At the same time, CHEP actively promotes international exchanges and cooperation, aims to develop into a high-level academic research institution and become a world-renowned base in the high-energy physics research areas.
