Oriental Studies
Oriental studies is the academic field of study that embraces Near Eastern and Far Eastern societies and cultures, languages, peoples, history and archaeology; in recent years the subject has often been turned into the newer terms of Asian studies and Middle Eastern studies. Traditional Oriental studies in Europe is today generally focused on the discipline of Islamic studies, while the study of China, especially traditional China, is often called Sinology, the study of East Asia, especially in the United States, is often called East Asian studies, and the study of Israel and Jews are called Israel studies and Jewish studies respectively, although they are often considered the same field.
An EU research project has developed guidelines and tools to help restore Europe's river systems, in the face of multiple pressures on this important ecosystem.
