1.项目成员会议：项目成员会议每年召开四至五次。2.系列讲习班：举办了为期四年的题为“运用科学和建立一个新的学术领域”的系列讲习班。各年度的标题是：“日本田野科学现状”(2001年)、“田野科学与实验科学”(2002年)、“谁拥有田野科学成果？”(2003年)、“田野科学的可能性”(2004年)。3.研究协调会议：每年举行一次，由科学研究补助金(Kakeni)下的研究小组的首席调查人员参加。它包括讲座、全体会议和分部会议。在大会上，JSPS的一名官员对Kakeni进行了解释，并接受了提问。分六个区域组举行了分组会议：(1)太平洋/东南亚(2)东亚(3)南亚和西亚(4)北欧亚/中亚/极地区域，包括欧洲(5)非洲(6)美洲。4.研究科研制度：研究人员收集了Kakeni研究对象国家的最新信息，涉及政治、经济、社会状况、研究机构、研究人员以及研究许可获得和签证申请程序。主要目标国家是：中国、韩国、印度尼西亚、马达加斯加(2001年)、土耳其、叙利亚、黎巴嫩、摩洛哥(2002年)、秘鲁、厄瓜多尔、智利、阿根廷、玻利维亚(2003年)和肯尼亚、冈比亚、塞内加尔(2004年)。5.数据库建设：为卡肯尼调查人员数据库做准备。6.网页改进：改进和扩展了网站http://www.aa.tufs.ac.jp/~GISR/index.htm。7.报告制作：将四年的研究成果汇编成报告《海外科学研究与实地工作方法综合研究》

1.Project members meetings : Meetings of the project members were convened four or five times every year.2.Serial Workshops : Four-year term serial workshops entitled Wield Science and the Establishment of a New Academic Field were held. Titles for respective years are : 'Current Situation of Field Science in Japan' (2001), 'Field Science and Experimental Sciences' (2002), 'Who Possesses the Result of Field Science? (2003), 'The Possibilities of Field Science' (2004).3.Research Coordination Meetings : Held every year with the participation of the head investigators of research groups under the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (Kakenhi). It included the lectures, and general and sectional meetings. In the general meeting, a JSPS officer made explanations of Kakenhi and received questions. Sectional meetings were held in six regional groups : (1)Pacific/Southeast Asia (2)East Asia (3)South and West Asia (4)Northern Eurasia/Central Asia/Polar region, including Europe (5)Africa (6)America. The participants exchanged their opinions and information about the problems accompanying research.4.Studying scientific research systems : The newest information of the Kakenhi research target countries were gathered by researchers concerning politics, economy, social situation, research institutions, researchers, and research permission acquiring and visa application procedures. The main target countries were : China, South Korea, Indonesia, Madagascar (2001), Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Morocco (2002), Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia (2003), and Kenya, Gambia, Senegal (2004).5.Database Construction : Preparations for a database of Kakenhi investigators were made.6.Homepage Improvement : Web-site http://www.aa.tufs.ac.jp/〜gisr/index.htm was improved and expanded.7.Report making : Four-year research results were compiled into a report 'Integrated Study on the Methods of Overseas Scientific Research and Fieldwork'
