i) Previous collaboration with New York University and the joint-organization of the "Cosmos, East and West" conference (Feb 27, 2017) served as the preparation for the Kyoto University International Symposium in Kyoto (ICTSA 2017, Oct 25-28). http://wdc2.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ictsa2017/
ii) A database was created based on the archival work at Brown University and American Philosophical Society. This includes entries not reported in previous inventory. A feasibility study concerning further possibilities of digitalization of Pingree's CESS was produced, in discussion with Brown University and a team of international collaborators.
iii) First report from the collaborative Gargasamhitaa workgroup was published in the peer-reviewed journal "History of Science in South Asia" 5.1. Members included Bill Mak (PI), Yano Michio (Kyoto Sangyo), Kenneth Zysk (Copenhagen), Marko Geslani (Emory). The report provides the most updated review on the research done on this text, considered one of the oldest extant astral texts in Sanskrit (c. first century CE).

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
Further digitalization of Pingree's CESS will be undertaken by Brown University and its library staff as a special collection project, with the PI's continual support.
Further research results on the Garga mauscripts are anticipated in the upcoming years, including at the World Sanskrit Conference in Vancouver, Canada (2018). The remaining funding from this grant will be used for the organization of and participation in the special Garga panel at the World Sanskrit Conference.
