On October 1st, Shin Mizukoshi lab of media studies, Hideki Koizumi lab of community design in the University of Tokyo have started a new collaborative  research project with Finnish colleagues of Helsinki University and Aalto University. Professor Mikko Villi is the leader of Finnish side.

The official title of the project is “Co-Design of Digital Storytelling System with Geographic Information”.

The nickname is “Storyplacing”.

The Finnish delegation has visited Japan early in October. About 15 members have spend about 5 days together and share many things.

Looking forward to explore a new dimension of international/interdisciplinary collaboration.
