Conferences and Workshops

Conferences and workshops on specific topics are typically organized in collaboration with Japanese and European universities or research institutes. The École Française d’Extrême-Orient and the Institute for Research in Humanities are the preferred partners for these conferences, but the collaboration in this field is not exclusive. For over thirty years, the School has been a presence in the international scientific community among foreign research centers in Japan, providing a venue to present ongoing research findings.
