Guidelines for FY 2019 Joint Research to Utilize the Center's Facilities and Research Resources

→Japanese

The Art Research Center (ARC), Ritsumeikan University, has been actively promoting cooperative research between the humanities and cutting-edge information technology, with a strong focus on digital archiving of Japanese cultural properties, both tangible and intangible. The ARC has been selected as an International Joint Usage/Research Center Program by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan, in October 2019. To facilitate digital archiving of Japanese art and cultural properties and to promote the utilization of digital resources, we are pleased to invite researchers to submit international joint research proposals.
