1: 当初の計画以上に進展している
理由
- The project progressed smoothly and exceeded what we initially expected thanks to the additional support from 国際共同研究強化. The administrative work related to the local research group was handled by the substitute staff. Most of the overseas events were made possible also with the additional funding.
- The digitalization project was made possible by bringing together various parties which include the American Philosophical Society, NYU, Brown University, John Hay Library, IIT Bombay and international scholars who are interested in this project.
