UK AHRC Chief Executive visits NIHU

 

The United Kingdom’s Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Chief Executive, Professor Rick Rylance, visited the National Institutes for the Humanities (NIHU) in Minato-ku, Tokyo on May 25, 2015. A very genial discussion took place between Professor Rylance, President Narifumi Tachimoto and the NIHU members, to forge even stronger bonds of cooperation between NIHU and the AHRC. International programs between the humanities research institutes of the UK and Japan are expected to grow and prosper even further.
