The organization of the project consists of an administration office, a consultative board and research groups.
Administration office
The administration office is responsible for overseeing
communication between the consultative board and research groups. It
is also in charge of organizing research projects and establishing a
network between research institutions in Japan and in the Middle East
to conduct field surveys in the Middle East.
Research groups
The research groups are composed of members who
specialize mostly in area studies on the Middle East, and will conduct
research on the two topics outlined below (Research Themes) in collaboration
with the consultative board.
Consultative board
The consultative board is composed of researchers from institutions
in Japan and overseas, with theoretical backgrounds. They will advise
the research groups on topics and methods from disciplinary points of view.
