Co-creation Outreach - NIHU Knowledge Co-creation Projects

In collaboration with the NIHU’s institutes and research institutes such as universities, these projects aim to visualize cutting-edge research on human culture through museums and exhibitions as well as build a research promotion model that enhances research through co-creation with academia and society. Moreover, they will promote social co-creation together with NIHU symposiums and other public outreach projects.

 

NIHU Interactive Museums

A “circulation of knowledge” between universities, other research institutions, and society will be created by using digital technology to prepare materials and data owned by NIHU’s institutes, visualize them through museums and various exhibitions, and share and publish research processes and results by various methods and in various places. In this way, the aim is to build a model for promoting open humanities research through co-creation with various people in Japan and overseas. Moreover, joint research will be conducted to solve communication challenges, such as visual and auditory difficulties, and, based on the results, to develop exhibition methods that support diversity.

 

Liberal Arts Communicator

In addition to communicating the results of humanities research to society in an easy-to-understand manner by utilizing various media and opportunities such as exhibitions, “Liberal Arts Communicators” are trained systematically as researchers with skills to pick up on social demands for and responses to research and funnel that back into the research field. As an interpreter who “connects” society and research, he/she will promote social collaboration and co-creation as well as contribute to the promotion and development of the humanities.
