A Recognised Independent Centre (RIC) of Oxford University is a status awarded to acknowledge a special relationship with a small number of institutes and centres which are involved in teaching and research in their specialised areas in Oxford.〔(Recognised Independent Centres – University of Oxford ).

Retrieved on 2011-03-21.〕 RICs are educational charities based in the Oxford area which, while not part of the University, are recognised for their contribution to University research and teaching in contemporary and historical areas of interest. The formal designation was created in 2006.〔(OCHS wins Oxford recognition | The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies ). Ochs.org.uk (2006-06-23).

Retrieved on 2011-03-21.〕 A student at an RIC is not automatically a member of the University but can apply to use its facilities, and of course its libraries and manuscript collections. In practice the majority of students attached to RICs will also be registered as students of Oxford University, and be members of Colleges. Some academics hold joint appointments made between University Faculties and RICs.〔Croft, Sally, Editor, Blueprint: Staff News for the University of Oxford, March 2008, Oxford.〕 As well as participating in University-wide research and teaching,〔(Buddhist Channel | Buddhism News, Headlines | Europe | First endowed Professorship in Buddhist Studies in the UK is established at Oxford ).

Shaunaka Rishi Das, the founder of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, was mentored in establishing his centre by Professor David Patterson, the founder of the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies.〔 Whatever its specialist interest, each RIC helps to link distinct communities and cultures with scholars, the government, and the media in a fast-paced critical dialogue. ==Current Recognised Independent Centres of Oxford University== * The Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies * The Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies * The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies * The Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies * The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Recognised Independent Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
