Overseas Satellite Offices

In order to better coordinate and conduct joint research with scholars outside of Japan, ILCAA established two satellite offices overseas: one in Beirut (Lebanon) and another in Kota Kinabalu (Malaysia).

■Japan Center for Middle Eastern Studies (JaCMES)

JaCMES is the first overseas satellite office established in Beirut (Lebanon) by ILCAA. It was officially sanctioned by Lebanese government’s cabinet resolution of December 15, 2005. The inauguration ceremony of JaCMES took place on February 1, 2006.
Activities of JaCMES are considered as both Field Science Center (FSC) and MEIS2 activities.

The purposes of JaCMES are as follows:

  1. To enhance academic foundation of Middle Eastern Studies in Japan
  2. To promote academic exchange between Japan and the Middle East, especially Lebanon
  3. To support young Japanese researchers of Middle Eastern Studies

We have developed joint research project functions by conducting following activities:

  1. International Symposia involving Lebanese Researchers
  2. Workshops for young Japanese researchers
  3. Dispatch of young Japanese researchers to the Middle Eastern Area
  4. Conferences and Workshops for Academic Exchange
  5. Introduction of Academic Information about Lebanon on the web site

The head of JaCMES is Hidemitsu Kuroki, professor of ILCAA.
