Doing Research in Cambodia: Connecting the Dots, Spotting the Interlinks

Hosted by LSE Saw Swee Hock Southeast Asia Centre

About this event:
In this upcoming May and in celebration of World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, Saw Swee Hock Southeast Asia Centre (SEAC) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is delighted to collaborate with Cambodia Development Resource Institute (CDRI) to host an online panel discussion on “Doing Research in Cambodia: Connecting the Dots, Spotting the Interlinks”. This is also part of CDRI’s Connect-#LeadTheWay initiative.
The panel discussion aims to introduce research environment and infrastructure in Cambodia, especially for those who are new to working on Cambodia. Scientific evidence is crucial in any country development whether in informing policy formation, operation or monitoring and evaluation. While its importance is generally acknowledged and agreed on, the process to achieving it might differ from country to country. However, a common ground can still be achieved whether through dialogue, experience sharing or any other means, and this panel event provides a platform to contribute to this process.

Research seminar purposes:
• To provide insights into process and environment of doing research in Cambodia;
• To showcase some good examples and lessons learnt from doing collaborative research in Cambodia;
• To highlight and seek potential research collaborations, especially between CDRI and other institutions.

Speakers:
Dr Eng Netra , Executive Director, Cambodia Development Resource Institute (CDRI)
Dr Nhim Tum, Center Director, Center for Natural Resources and Environment
