| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project historically analyzed the origins and developments of research institutes for theoretical physics (RITP) in Europe, the United States, Japan, and Asia established in the 20th century, considering the RITP as one of the representations of social development and international expansion in the countries. The purpose of this study was to clarify the historical background of the establishment of each RITP and its influence on research systems in each country. Particularly, this study elucidated the origins and developments of RITPs at Hiroshima University and Kyoto University, and their influence on the domestic and international scientific communities. This study also suggested that RITP at the University of California, Santa Barbara (now known as the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics) had its influence on the research systems for different fields in some countries.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は、以下の研究成果をあげた。戦時の広大理論研の設立と戦後の再建、戦後の京大基研の設立と共同利用研の発展、基研と類似ではあるが国内向けではなく国際的な研究会制度によるサンタバーバラ理論研の発展は、各時代の社会的文脈とは独立ではなく、戦時期には軍事的背景も一部に含み、戦後期には戦後日本の復興、被爆地・広島の復興、学者の町・竹原の復興、戦後の民主的制度をもとめる科学界の動向と民主的組織の発展、戦後日本で生まれた研究会制度の類似な制度の国際的発展を示し、純粋な理論物理の研究機関であっても、各時代の社会的文脈の強い依存性とそれに適う発展があることを示す事例研究となった。
