About
The Kobe Institute for Atmospheric Studies (KOIAS) was launched in 2022 to establish and develop Atmospheric Studies as a new interdisciplinary academic field. Our research spans intellectual and cultural boundaries, exploring various phenomena related to ATMOSPHERE, including “mood” (English), “ambiance” (French), “Stimmung” (German), “氣氛” (qìfēn, Chinese), and “雰囲気” (fun’iki, Japanese). KOIAS’ main office is located at the Graduate School of Humanities, Kobe University, Japan.
