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. 

Hence, in this upcoming May and in celebration of World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, Cambodia Development Resource Institute (CDRI) and Saw Swee Hock Southeast Asia Centre (SEAC) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) are delighted to collaborate 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. 

Purposes: 

• To introduce research environment and infrastructure in Cambodia, especially for those who are new to working on 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. 

Format:

• Platform: Zoom
• Language: English
• Time: 7:00PM - 8:30PM Cambodia time; 1:00-2:30PM British Summer time
