Since its establishment in 1998, the Art Research Center (ARC), Ritsumeikan University, has been conducting research and education, aiming at creating a new type of the humanities that fully utilize information technologies. One of our most representative achievements is establishment of the ARC Model. With this unique digital humanities method, we have been building various databases of Japanese arts and culture, as well as the cloud environment so that we could bridge the gap between Japanese Studies in Japan and abroad, as well as contribute to East Asian and Japanese Studies overseas. Inviting representatives of major centers for East Asian and Japanese Studies in the world, the upcoming conference is to promote joint research projects among these centers through international collaboration, and to invite their suggestions and comments on how the ARC with the database system and cloud environment could serve for this purpose.

立命館大学アート・リサーチセンター(ARC)は、1998年の設立当初より文理融合・連携を前提とし、異分野の研究者の英知を集結させて、人文学研究では珍しい共同研究あるいはプロジェクト型研究を展開してまいりました。そして昨年度、文部科学省全国共同利用・共同研究拠点、「日本文化資源デジタル・アーカイブ研究拠点」(2014-2019年度)として採択されました。これにより、ARCが有する日本文化資源の膨大なデータベースの利用を国内外の共同研究者に開放するとともに、これまでに蓄積してきたデジタル・アーカイブ技術やデータベース管理技術を研究プロジェクト活動の基盤として提供し、情報アーカイブ・知識循環型共同研究をよりいっそう推進していく所存です。今回、この研究活動の一環とし、国外の主要な日本研究・東アジア研究拠点の代表を招聘し、国際的な共同研究プロジェクトを推進するとともに、海外での日本研究・東アジア研究へ、ARCが今まで以上に、どのように貢献できるか意見交換の機会とする国際会議を開催いたします。
