Knowledge Transfer
Web-based Projects
The Institute’s research clusters launched new platforms on the Internet to share research-based experiences with a larger community.
The CRF Project of the “Science, Technology and Medicine in Asian Societies” cluster is developing a Virtual Museum to create a wider user community, with a three-tier approach to engage the intellectual curiosity of diverse users. It will reflect the diversity of East Asian cultures, languages, histories, and most certainly, technologies, of which the virtual museum will include representations from Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore.
The “Asian Religious Connections” (ARC) research cluster hosts a website called “Religious Life in the Chinese World,” a companion resource to the volume Chinese Religious Life, edited by Dr. David A. Palmer, with Dr. Glenn Shive and Dr. Philip L. Wickeri.
The first phase (EAP 791) of the Digital Library of the Lanten Textual Heritage, co-hosted by the ARC cluster, will be launched soon. The project, which was funded by the British Library’s Endangered Archives Programme, will feature 768 manuscripts of unique cultural value in Lanten society.
