文化遺産国際協力コンソーシアム Japan Consortium for International Cooperation in Cultural Heritage
MISSIONS
Japan’s Act on the promotion of International Cooperation for protection of Cultural Heritage Abroad was promulgated and enacted in June 2006. This law aims to have Japan expand its international cooperation activities by using the knowledge, technologies, experience, and other assets that have been amassed to protect overseas cultural heritage in danger of being damaged or lost. The Japan Consortium for International Cooperation in Cultural Heritage (promotion council) was established at the same time to further facilitate cooperation in this area. Over the 10 years since then, the Consortium has created ties between and among various actors working in the field of international cooperation in cultural heritage. These actors include universities, research institutions, public organizations, organizations that support international cooperation, and private-sector aid organizations. In this way, the Consortium has contributed significantly to enhancing Japan’s international cooperation.
