Introduction to the GEReSH-CAM Project

The GEReSH-Cam project (Governance and Emergence of Research in

Humanities in Cambodia) aims to contr ibute to the effor t of improving

Cambodia’s higher education system, particularly in the area of social

sciences and humanities. This initiative which is co-funded by the

Erasmus+ programme of the European Union brings together ten

Cambodian and European institutions to support research and innovations

in Cambodia, with a special focus on social sciences and humanities.

This three years project (2016-2019) has two main objectives:

Building institutional and research competency

The development of research and innovation capacities cannot be

achieved without the mastery of a set of knowledge, skills and

competences. GEReSH-Cam project proposes tools and trainings to all the

academic actors including:

Managers (Heads of faculties and departments): Training courses for

such managers will make it possible for them to implement strategic and

essential reforms.

Technical and administrative staff: Training courses for administrative

and technical staff will contribute to the establishment of efficient

management through various uses of appropriate office and

administrative tools (software).

Teaching staff and students: Training courses for teachers and students

will enable them to acquire a broad range of knowledge and skills to

develop a "culture of research".

An Innovative Inter-University Research Center

The ultimate outcome of the project will be an inter-university research

center dedicated to the field of humanities. Teachers and students from

various universities will be able to work on their own research projects and

be proactive making the research center a key player in the development of

human sciences in Cambodia.

5

The research center will be a privileged place for researchers as well as a

learning and researching space for master’s degree students. It will also be a

place to create and disseminate knowledge through the organization of both

local and international seminars, workshops and conferences. Institutional

exchanges of good practices, knowledge, and practically useful experiences

will be encouraged to advance the scientific and educational perspectives.

These objectives will be achieved through the offering of trainings and

workshops designed to address local legislation and culture. In addition, a

practical guide reflecting the present situations of the three Cambodian

higher education institutions involved in the project (namely, RUFA, RUPP,

NIE) could serve as a baseline for other Cambodian universities in case they

are interested in joining to create a similar center or to research in other

fields.

at INALCO combines area studies and academic fields, the junction of which is

particularly innovative and fruitful in scientific terms. The researchers study lan-

guages and civilizations that are increasingly in the spotlight and are central to the

major issues of the 21st century. Fourteen teams, often partnered with other re-

search organizations, top-class PhD programs, and a major international publishing

service form the backbone of research at INALCO. The institution also has a pro-

ject management and knowledge transfer service. The research teams, administra-

tion offices and doctoral school are housed in a building dedicated entirely to re-

search, with access to a full range of support functions: assistance in preparing re-

search proposals and grant applications, organizing scientific events, looking for

partnerships and funding, publication support, internal funding, and communica-
