Strengthening links with Humboldt University, Berlin

Recently, Professor Paul Statham, director of the SCMR, met Professor Magdalena Nowicka at the Humboldt University in Berlin to set up a plan of action aiming to develop collaborative research bids on migration flows to and from South East Asia. The idea is to develop the core research ideas advanced by the Sussex-Mahidol Migration Partnership and to expand the number of research institutes potentially working on this programme of research. The plan of action includes targeting European funding bodies, as well as involving other Asian partner universities. Professor Nowicka has already been liaising with Professor Brenda Yeoh, at the National University of Singapore, to develop research collaborations in this direction.
