[Former title: Creation of the Asia-Pacific Regional Hub of Research for the Safeguarding of ICH (FY 2022-2026)]

IRCI’s mission is to promote research for safeguarding ICH in the Asia-Pacific region. Aiming to create a foundation for such research by providing a common place for academic discussions and to strengthen researchers network within the region, IRCI has organised in the past programmes such as researchers forums and expert meetings.
This project is a new framework to further enhance research activities and international collaboration among ICH researchers. By creating a new forum for promoting academic interaction and collaboration among ICH researchers and research institutions in the Asia-Pacific region, various programmes including online seminars for ICH safeguarding, international conferences, and a programme targeting young ICH researchers will be developed.
