At present, there is no a single
readily-accessible, modern reference source about Cambodia. As part of
The University of Cambodia’s research agendum, we plan to produce an
encyclopedia (with Khmer and English editions) containing reliable,
in-depth and up-to-date information on all aspects of Cambodian life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-
To
bring together information about Cambodia on a broad diversity of
topics.
.
-
To foster an interest in
research and scholarship in our students, researchers, scholars and
other Cambodians.
.
-
To make this information
available to all Cambodians through libraries, schools, etc.
(we plan to distribute copies to all schools and libraries in
Cambodia).
.
-
To promote Cambodia to
the outside world – whether for students, potential tourists,
investors, educators and other researchers.
.
-
To
contribute to knowledge-building in Cambodia.
