Tohoku University-Russian Academy of Sciences, Siberian Branch Collaborative Laboratory
In 1998, CNEAS opened a liaison office in Novosibirsk, Siberia as Tohoku University’s first outpost overseas. Novosibirsk, which is Russia’s third most populous city, is home to the headquarters of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SBRAS), and more than half of the 75-plus research institutes in the sciences and humanities affiliated with the Siberian Branch are clustered in this city. CNEAS staff posted to the liaison office help to facilitate scientific and other scholarly exchange as well as joint research projects undertaken between Tohoku University and these institutes. In 2008, in order to adapt to revisions in Russia’s laws for registration of non-profit organizations, the office was reorganized as a laboratory jointly managed by Tohoku University and SBRAS, but it will continue to organize seminars in Japanese and Asian studies under the leadership of staff from CNEAS.
