Workshops
Workshops are held several times a year, with the collaboration and participation of researchers from outside the university (including foreign researchers) conducting common research. The meetings discuss the results of the Center’s joint research projects and issues deemed significant for the study of nonwritten cultural materials.
The meetings are an opportunity to exhibit and present the results of the Center’s research, and are open to the general public as well as researchers.
